Researchers from Harvard University, MIT, and QuEra Computing Inc. have developed a new digital quantum simulation architecture based on reconfigurable atom arrays to simulate fermionic systems on quantum computers. This approach aims to advance materials science, chemistry, and high-energy physics by improving simulations of complex quantum materials and exotic phases of matter, which are challenging […]
Detecting additive manufacturing defects in real time
A research team led by Associate Professor Tao Sun has made significant advancements in additive manufacturing, particularly for aerospace and other industries requiring strong metal parts. They have successfully tackled the challenge of detecting keyhole pores, a major defect in the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technique. Introduced in the 1990s, LPBF uses metal powder […]

The Future of Heat Treatment
This video from the Seco/Warwick Group features an interview with Dan Herring, the world-acclaimed Heat Treat Doctor.
One Minute Mentor: Phase Transformations using finite-element-method (FEM) model.
Heat treatment of tool steels means several phase transformations. Every phase transformation must be described by start amount, end amount, and kinetics (change of phases depending on temperature and time). Start and end amount can be calculated with different thermodynamic software. For example, Thermocalc is well validated for tool steels. All of the aforementioned data […]
