In the realm of materials engineering, one class of steel stands out for its unique combination of strength, formability, and weldability—Interstitial Free (IF) steels. These specialized high-strength, low-alloy steels have become integral to the automotive industry, playing a pivotal role in the manufacturing of various components and parts. Understanding the Name: Interstitial FreeThe term “interstitial…

Introduction Lithium is a soft, silvery-white metal that is widely used in batteries, ceramics, glass, and other industries. It is the lightest metal and has the highest electrochemical potential, making it a critical component in batteries that power everything from smartphones to electric cars. In recent years, lithium demand has surged due to the increasing…
In today’s era of advanced technology, Machine Learning has become an integral part of our lives It is a rapidly growing field that is changing the way we interact with technology. Machine learning is the study of computer algorithms that let computer programs automatically improve through the experience without human intervention. It is a branch…
A mechanical device with some structural give or flexibility is referred to as a compliant mechanism. Due to this, it may flex or deform instead of failing or breaking under pressure. In robotics and structural engineering, compliant mechanisms are frequently employed to decrease impact, absorb energy, or create more flexible and adaptive structures. Compliant plier…
Put yourselves in the shoes of a civil engineer. You’re given 1500 acres of land and are tasked with chalking out a detailed blueprint of the various structures and facilities that need to be set up in order to construct a university campus right beside the coast. Naturally, one of the first steps that must…
Scientists have warned about ‘Code Red’ for humanity. But how long do we have before it’s too late? Governments and many organizations have set guidelines to commit to climate neutrality. The Global Carbon Project, one such organization, aims to stop the increase in greenhouse emissions by 2050. This project has focused the attention of the…
Steel is everywhere in our modern society, from the tools and machines we use in our homes to major infrastructure and construction work like hospitals, offices, and factories—all of which we take for granted. Moreover, steel is also expected to play a crucial role in the renewable energy transition, with solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric…
WHAT IS A CARBON NANOTUBE? A hundred times stronger than steel yet lighter than Aluminium, Carbon Nanotubes(CNTs) are cylindrical molecules consisting of rolled-up sheets of graphene. They can be single-walled (SWNT) or multi-walled (MWNT). They are one of the strongest materials known to man, yet engineers are just starting to unlock their full potential. The…
A boiling tea kettle diffuses its heat to the gradually warm surrounding air, yet it will still be the warmest region even as it, too, slowly cools. But what if the kettle cooled down to room temperature almost instantly, losing its heat in a wave traveling through the material close to the speed of sound?…
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen. We’re pleased to welcome you on board. This is your captain speaking. Today we shall be cruising at an altitude of 40,000 ft and a groundspeed of 900 km/hr. The time to our destination shall be 4hrs. On behalf of the entire crew, I wish you a pleasant and comfortable…
