Dr. Aster’s Breakthrough in Aluminium Alloy Design with Cluster-Hardnening

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

In his recent work, Dr. Philip Aster delivers a remarkable contribution to the understanding of microstructural evolution in Al-Mg-Zn-Cu crossover alloys, with a particular focus on the role of copper in long-term aging (LTA) conditions. Through advanced atom probe tomography (APT), Dr. Aster demonstrates how Cu additions not only promote finer clustering and T-phase precursors … Continue reading Dr. Aster’s Breakthrough in Aluminium Alloy Design with Cluster-Hardnening

I am a huge admirer of Dr. Sabine Hossenfelder and her insightful reviews of science and global scientific activities. Recently, she published an excellent, well-researched video exploring the challenges of adopting hydrogen gas as a green energy source. Dr. Hossenfelder’s critical perspective is both valid and necessary for our community. Scientific hypes should always be … Continue reading “Hydrogen Hype is Dying”, by Sabine Hossenfelder

Celebrating Professor Pippan’s 70th anniversary and 150 years of hydrogen embrittlement research in metallurgy!

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

Our recent work on the "Limitations of Hydrogen Detection After 150 Years of Research on Hydrogen Embrittlement" was highlighted in the Advanced Engineering Materials journal with a back cover! I am mostly happy that this was a special edition of the journal to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Professor Reinhard Pippan (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/15272648/2024/26/19)! To all my … Continue reading Celebrating Professor Pippan’s 70th anniversary and 150 years of hydrogen embrittlement research in metallurgy!
