- Rare Crystal Shape Found to Increase the Strength of 3D-Printed Metal
NIST researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it possible to use in lightweight, high-strength objects such as airplane parts Once thought impossible, quasicrystals were originally discovered at NIST, leading to a 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
