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…

Uncovering New Physics In Metals Manufacturing
Uncovering a Hidden Layer in Metal Manufacturing For decades, scientists believed that the subtle chemical patterns inside metal alloys were too small to matter or were erased during the brutal processes of manufacturing. New research from MIT shifts that view, showing that these patterns persist and influence a range of properties—from strength and durability to…
