    Chemical Patterns in Metals: New Physics for Manufacturing

    Introduction: A Hidden Order in Metal Processing For decades, scientists believed that the chaotic mixing during metal processing largely erases any subtle chemical patterns. New research from MIT challenges this view, showing that metallic atoms retain non-random arrangements even after conventional manufacturing. These archive-like patterns influence a metal’s mechanical strength, durability, heat capacity, and radiation…
