A new method makes it possible to create high-strength, lightweight steel on an industrial scale, potentially making way for its use in vehicles.

Researchers have developed a new processing route which allows low density steel-based alloys to be produced with maximum strength, while remaining durable and flexible—something that has been largely impossible until now.

Vehicles made of stronger and lighter materials are safer for drivers, emit less CO2, and consume less fuel—and more malleable steels would allow manufacturers to form car parts into streamlined shapes.

In a very short amount of time the human population exploded and is still growing very fast. Will this lead to the end of our civilization? 

No. Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell explains in this video why population growth is nothing to fear.
