Summary

Story summary

MIT engineers developed a printable aluminum alloy five times stronger than traditional aluminum.
Machine learning reduced evaluation from over 1 million combinations to 40.
The alloy withstands up to 400°C and suits jet engine fan blades.
LBPF enabled rapid cooling that enhanced the alloy's properties.
The study, published in Advanced Materials, notes more small precipitates contributing to strength.
