When machining high-temperature alloys like Inconel or Ti-6Al-4V, the challenge transcends conventional cutting. The process essentially becomes a high-stakes battle—not just against the material’s hardness, but against the extreme heat, work hardening, and abrasive wear it generates at the cutting edge. Under such severe conditions, standard tool coatings degrade rapidly, often reaching their functional limits...

Abstract: As OLED displays scale to larger formats, the cost of the transparent electrode becomes a critical bottleneck. This article maps the practical engineering strategies for cost reduction across three material fronts: pushing incumbent ITO to its efficiency limits, integrating novel silver alloy anodes, and evaluating the readiness of next-generation TCO alternatives. We provide a decision...

Back in 2019, we published a guide comparing platinum and gold rings. It quickly became one of our most-read articles, helping readers make informed choices about their wedding jewelry. But times have changed — and so have the reasons behind choosing one metal over the other. If you’re shopping in 2026, here’s what actually matters....
