In late 1970s and during 1980s, scientific research on the development of voids and inert gas bubbles in solids – often caused by activation and transmutation of some elements within the context of nuclear materials – was intense and most of the consolidated knowledge on this field is due professors Tom van Den, John H. … Continue reading Three generations of nuclear materials research!
In the late eighties and early nineties, the ETH Zürich researchers worked intensively on the development of high nitrogen steels at the Institute of Metals Research - with some success. The result was important patents with industrial partners. A number of such steels are still in use today, in particular the nickel-free austenitic steels used … Continue reading Four decades of research on high nitrogen steels at ETH Zürich!

As part of an excellent PhD work (under completion) of my friend Lukas Stemper, a novel class of aluminium alloys is currently under development at Montanuniversitaet Leoben. This is an exciting field of research on advanced aluminium alloys with several potential applications in modern human technology. Check our most recent papers on the topic. A. … Continue reading A Novel Class of Aluminium Alloys
The coming months will test a new prediction that — contrary to most expectations — forecasts one of the strongest solar cycles on record. Sunspots are part of an 11-year up-and-down cycle observed since 1610, “one of the oldest data sets that humans have created,” says Dean Pesnell (NASA Goddard), a solar cycle expert. The sunspot … Continue reading Solar cycle 25 and space weather forecast
