Researchers at Saarland University developed metallic glasses to reduce energy losses in electric motors, enabling more efficient operation. The new alloys minimize energy consumption in everyday devices, extending the range of e-scooters and drones.
Researchers from Cranfield University discovered that ancient copper smelters at a 3000-year-old site in southern Georgia were using iron oxide as a flux to increase copper yield. This finding supports the theory that iron was invented by copper metalworkers, who experimented with iron-bearing materials in a metallurgical furnace.
Researchers developed an AI model that accurately predicts metal yield strength by combining physical theory with machine learning. The model outperforms traditional methods, which often rely on extensive experimentation.
A new study by the University of Sydney has found that adding molybdenum to steel reinforced with metal carbides enhances its ability to trap hydrogen. This discovery is a significant step towards solving the multi-billion-dollar problem of hydrogen embrittlement in steels.
