What House of Dynamite (Netflix, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32376165/) quietly reminds us in 2025 is that the world we inherited after the Cold War has drifted into a precarious corner of space and time. Perhaps this moment is one of the greatest tests our species has ever faced. For decades, science has too often been used as a … Continue reading “Your orders, Mr. President”
With great pleasure I am sharing with you our new review paper entitled "A snapshot of high-entropy alloy processing techniques and their effects on resulting mechanical properties" written by Mr. Christopher Matthews, a brilliant alumni student from the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Dakota School of Mines, now a Master Student in Metallurgy at … Continue reading A snapshot of high-entropy alloy processing techniques and their effects on resulting mechanical properties
The Lebanese visionary Gibran Khalil Gibran once gave us a timeless gift: the secret of true mentorship lies in thinking not only of ourselves, but of the generations to come. In just a few words, he captured something extraordinary – that the deepest impact we can make is not in what we build for today, … Continue reading The secret of mentorship in science, by Khalil Gibran
It is with great pride and heartfelt congratulations that we celebrate the recent recognition of Professor Peter Uggowitzer, who was awarded the Great Badge of Honour of the State of Styria on 12 May 2025 in a formal ceremony at the Old University in Graz. The honour was presented by Governor Mario Kunasek and Deputy … Continue reading The Great Mentor of World’s Non-Ferrous Metallurgy
Feature image credits: https://www.scienceisweird.com/arguing-comics Science thrives on debate, and the historic clash between Ringer et al. and Zahra et al. over the role of solute clustering in Al-Cu-Mg alloys is a perfect example of how scientific disputes drive progress. In this case, one side argued that Cu-Mg clusters were a distinct strengthening mechanism, while the … Continue reading A great scientific debate: Are clusters or Guinier-Preston zones responsible for strengthening an Al-Cu-Mg alloy?
