Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel (CrCoNi). Not only is the metal extremely ductile — which, in materials science, means highly malleable — and impressively strong, its strength and ductility improve as it gets colder. This runs counter to most other materials in existence.

CAD/CAM company Sigma Nest announced version 23 of their software suite. The flagship package delivers new nesting strategies for real-world manufacturing that optimise part processing and workflow efficiency beyond classic nesting for material.
