Damn, they’re scrapping UFOs now for their high purity steel (/s)

was this research leaked from xcom?

Particle beams when? I need to upgrade my arsenal.

Can’t be a UFO, they identified it, even the materials it’s made of, so now it us an IFO
Show threadEheranMay 13
I am pretty sure it is not flying anymore either, so just IO now.
Show threadHuleMay 14
IO = EGO

I hate when they se terms like “cannot be explained” in the headline, and then proceed to explain it in the article.

How lazy are journalists and editors these days?

Show threadSabin10May 11
It’s all clickbait, people see a headline like that and read the article because it sounds like someone is making magic metal.
Show threadcall_me_xaleMay 11

I’m right there with you when that kind of clickbaiting crops up, but this article actually isn’t doing that; they’re actually quoting the researchers:

Mn-based passivation is a counter-intuitive discovery, which cannot be explained by current knowledge in corrosion science. However, when numerous atomic-level results were presented, we were convinced

How dare you attempt to temper my outrage!
Show threadL0rdMathiasMay 11
Tempering the metal might ruin the protective properties!
Show threadSturgistMay 11
Fuck you for making me giggle. Take this upvote and shove it!
Show threadFauxLivingMay 12
DID SOMEBODY SAY OUTRAGE?!

If something in a headline is in quotes, it should be a direct quote. In this case, they are following that standard. It’s a direct quote of Dr. Kaiping Yu who worked on the research.

It also happens to make for a very catchy headline.

Number 4 will shock you!

Except the article says the same thing that the title does. They explain that it does work but that they don’t know why because by all expectations it shouldn’t.

A material that should make the alloy less resistant to corrosion actually makes it more so, and they can’t explain why.

This was discovered 6 years ago, and tons of the steel has been produced since then. This is much further along than I expected
Show threadorlyowlMay 11
You can definitely tell who read the article based on how people are commenting.
Show threadBazoogleMay 12
Headlines like that discourage a lot of users from clicking. Seems like clickbait
Show threadkbobabobMay 12
I’m pretty selective of which click bait articles I click on.
Show threadBeBopALouieMay 12
The title makes it sound like it just walked around the corner and declared itself.
Show threadMagicShelMay 12

Are these the same researchers baffled by fucking magnets?

How do they work‽
