Ultrasound-based system detects inclusions in aluminum production
A team of scientists from Fraunhofer IZFP, Germany, has developed a new measuring system for the aluminum industry to detect contamination in molten metal—an important tool during the production process.
Quantum atomic motion on metals leads to insights
Researchers at the Max Planck Society, Munich, have been exploring how atoms and molecules diffuse and react on metallic surfaces in a variety of technological applications related to chemical energy generation and storage. Their ability to simulate and predict this motion is crucial to understanding material degradation, chemical selectivity, and to optimizing the conditions of catalytic reactions.

Tiny hopping robots from MIT
MIT engineers developed an insect-sized jumping robot that can traverse challenging terrains while using far less energy than an aerial robot of comparable size. This tiny, hopping robot can leap over tall obstacles and jump across slanted or uneven surfaces, carrying about 10 times more payload than a similar-sized aerial robot, opening the door to […]
