Titanium biomedical implants being coated with diamonds to improve wear and resistance
Has the technology behind biomedical implants already reached its peak? Judging by the fact that there are still many instances in which people’s bodies reject their implants once they get them, it appears there’s still a lot of improvements that can be made. That’s exactly what one group of researchers from Australia’s RMIT (Royal Melbourne […]

Engineers have discovered a way to increase the density of wood, improving its mechanical performance as a structural material
A new pre-treatment process developed by Maryland engineers can produce extremely dense wood with more than 10 times the strength, toughness, ballistic resistance, and dimensional stability of normal wood. The developers claim the specific strength of their processed wood variant exceeds that of most structural metals and titanium alloys while being cheaper than carbon fiber. […]
