If you're relying on a metal, you want to know exactly how much physical strain it can undergo without cracking or breaking. But there are no robust ways to predict ductility. @AmesNatLab developed a new way to do so based on quantum mechanics: ameslab.gov/news/researchers…
Illustration with a yellow region that represents higher electronic change in the areas between atoms and is responsible for better ductility in certain metals. There are light blue regions surrounding it that have weaker charge activity. There are atoms in these areas with contours showing the charge distribution around them.

“I was at a materials engineering demonstration and they brought in a huge sheet of glass, putting it between two chairs. They stood on it, and they bounced on it – and it wouldn’t break. Then... the entire thing shattered.” go.iastate.edu/2XOSO7

Research has been incredibly helpful to inform my decisions on my engineering future. The people I have been working with and the grad students in the lab have been amazing in their mentorship and knowledge of performing research and of graduate school. news.engineering.iastate.edu…

Admitted Students Day is a chance for incoming students to learn more about each department and where they might be a good fit. The ISU Materials Advantage chapter and MSE staff was on hand to give demos and answer any questions teens or parents might have had! #CycloneEngineers
