New Physics in Metals Manufacturing: Hidden Chemical Patterns
Uncovering a Hidden Layer in Metal Manufacturing For decades, scientists believed that subtle chemical patterns in metal alloys were either too small to matter or easily erased during processing. A collaboration at MIT has upended that assumption by showing that these patterns persist in conventionally manufactured metals and can influence a wide range of material…

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…
