How New Physics is Transforming Metals Manufacturing
Scientists at MIT just overturned a decades-old assumption about metal manufacturing: atoms in alloys never become completely random, no matter how intensely they're processed. Using machine learning to track millions of atoms, researchers discovered persistent chemical patterns that affect everything from strength to radiation tolerance. This unexpected finding reveals new physics in metals and could transform how engineers design materials for aerospace, nuclear, and semico

Scientists Discover Hidden Climate "Switch" That Could Flip the Arctic Ocean
Scientists have discovered a hidden "geochemical switch" in Earth's oceans that can flip climate systems from carbon absorbers to carbon emitters. With the Arctic warming rapidly, this ancient mechanism from 56 million years ago could activate again, dramatically altering our planet's carbon cycle and accelerating climate change.
