Researchers Engineer Nanoparticles To Create Super-Hard Metals

A new method has found a way to manage nanoparticles to create harder metals. Traditionally, metallurgists have made metal harder through various processes - bending, twisting, passing it through rollers, or by hammering it - that work by breaking up the metal's grain structure.

Too Small, Too Cool: NIST Scientists Miniaturize Laser Cooling

Scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have managed to create a smaller version of the optical components that can cool atoms down close to absolute zero - a few thousandths of a degree from 0 Kelvins.
