For years, scientists noticed that magnetic fields could improve steel, but no one knew exactly why. New simulations reveal that magnetism changes how iron atoms behave, making it harder for carbon ...

Researchers at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Grainger College of Engineering have identified the first physical mechanism ...

Researchers have identified an unexpected link between atomic magnetism and carbon mobility in steel. Researchers at the ...

At Northwestern University, our first-of-its-kind materials science department collaborates extensively with our leading mechanical engineering department, resulting in a strong history of ...
