Featured Technical Inquiry
The Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) was asked to identify what high-temperature test facilities exist for testing hypersonics capabilities. A list of facilities was compiled in tandem with examples of high-temperature testing and research being done across government, academia, and industry. Research varied from testing materials to mechanical testing and thermal protection systems. Facilities and organizations performing high-temperature mechanical testing for fracture toughness, hardness, […]

Energy-efficient LEDs (light-emitting diodes) have begun to replace many types of lighting both indoor and outdoor. A key reason for the rise of LEDs has been materials research that greatly improved the quality and intensity of light achievable with these devices. But those materials must be handled with very high levels of precision, including surfaces that are as defect-free as possible. “They’re more efficient and […]
