Abstract: Some variations provide an aluminum (Al) alloy containing at least 0.1 at % zirconium (Zr) and/or at least 0.1 at % chromium (Cr), wherein the aluminum alloy is in the form of an additively manufactured object. Other variations provide an aluminum-containing powder comprising Al particles, Cr particles, and Zr particles, wherein at least some of the Cr particles as well as at least some of the Zr particles are physically and/or chemically assembled on surfaces of the Al particles, and wherein the aluminum-containing powder contains at least 0.1 at % Zr and at least 0.1 at % Cr. In this invention, the combination of surface functionalization and additive manufacturing has fundamentally created a new composition space of valuable aluminum alloys. The disclosed Al alloys are strong, thermally stable, and corrosion-resistant.

Abstract: Some variations provide a preceramic resin precursor formulation comprising: first molecules comprising at least one Si—C bond and/or at least one Si—N bond, wherein the first molecules include at least one silyl hydride group (Si—H) available for hydrosilylation; and second molecules with at least one unsaturated carbon-carbon bond attached to a UV-active functional group. The first molecules and second molecules may be reacted, via hydrosilylation with a homogeneous or heterogeneous metal-containing catalyst, to produce third molecules comprising a hydrosilylation-modified polysilazane that contains the UV-active functional group. Many possible starting formulations are described, and methods are disclosed for carrying out the chemical reactions to generate the hydrosilylation-modified polysilazanes. The hydrosilylation-modified polysilazanes may then be 3D-printed and thermally treating to fabricate a ceramic material.

Abstract: Some variations provide a metal matrix nanocomposite composition comprising metal-containing microparticles and nanoparticles, wherein the nanoparticles are chemically and/or physically disposed on surfaces of the microparticles, and wherein the nanoparticles are consolidated in a three-dimensional architecture throughout the composition. The composition may serve as an ingot for producing a metal matrix nanocomposite. Other variations provide a functionally graded metal matrix nanocomposite comprising a metal-matrix phase and a reinforcement phase containing nanoparticles, wherein the nanocomposite contains a gradient in concentration of the nanoparticles. This nanocomposite may be or be converted into a master alloy. Other variations provide methods of making a metal matrix nanocomposite, methods of making a functionally graded metal matrix nanocomposite, and methods of making a master alloy metal matrix nanocomposite. The metal matrix nanocomposite may have a cast microstructure. The methods disclosed enable various loadings of nanoparticles in metal matrix nanocomposites with a wide variety of compositions.

Abstract: A radar system including a transmit antenna for transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal or a radar signal and a receive antenna for receiving a plurality of reflected signals created by a plurality of targets reflecting the RF signal or radar signal. The reflected signals include noise. The radar system also includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that digitizes or samples the reflected signals to provide a digitized or sampled noisy input signal. The radar system further includes a reservoir computer that receives the noisy input signal. The reservoir computer includes a time-varying reservoir and is configured to de-noise the noisy input signal and provide a range measurement for each of the plurality of targets.
