MIT just made aluminum 5x stronger with 3D printing
MIT just engineered a printable aluminum thatrCOs stronger, lighter, and tough enough to reshape the future of flight.

Summary:
MIT researchers have designed a printable aluminum alloy thatrCOs five times stronger than cast aluminum and holds up at extreme temperatures.
Machine learning helped them zero in on the ideal recipe in a fraction of the time traditional methods would take.
When 3D printed, the alloy forms a tightly packed internal structure that gives it exceptional strength.
The material could eventually replace heavier, costlier metals in jet engines, cars, and data centers.

It's a bad summary. There have been strong aluminium alloys since the
1930's when they began to be used extensively in aircraft construction.

The particular virtue of MIT work is that it exploits 3-D printing,
relying on very rapid local heating to produced very small fine-grained inclusions that provide very effective local reinforcement.
