Physicists use supercomputer to crack 140-year old puzzle

Since the dawn of civilization, metallurgy has determined the fate of powerful cities, states and empires. Blacksmiths have harnessed the power of heat to melt simple metals that would then be cast into hard, sharp and shiny alloys. By changing process conditions, such as rate of cooling and composition can lead to new materials with dramatically different mechanical properties, such as extreme...
