A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally found in these complex shapes.RMIT researchers in Melbourne, Australia, took hollow-strut lattice designs as a starting point, inspired by hollow-stemmed water lilies and organ pipe coral, and then looked at ways to reduce the high stress concentrations created at the join points.“Ideally, the stress in all complex cellular…

The Hyundai Creta facelift has taken the entire country by storm, and people have been queuing up outside dealerships to get this new model. A lot of people have now taken deliveries of their new Cretas, and some have even started modifying these new cars. Recently, a video of India’s first 2024 Hyundai Creta facelift equipped with massive 20-inch alloy wheels has now been shared online.

There is hardly anyone in the world who doesn’t like a gift. The definition of gift has changed over the years. On social media, people have started sharing videos when they receive expensive gifts. We have come across videos in the past where children have gifted cars and bikes to their parents as gift. However, here we have a video of a guy from Kerala who was given a set of alloy wheels as a gift on his wedding from his friends. His reaction after receiving the gift was actually priceless. groom gets alloy wheels as…

When it comes to car modifications, what people generally like to do is buy base variants of cars and then modify them. However, this particular Maruti Suzuki Swift owner bought a brand-new Swift ZXI Plus top-spec variant and modified it according to his taste. This black Maruti Suzuki Swift has been given a number of aesthetic mods, which include a set of new 17-inch alloy wheels, Z-black window tints, and a few other mods. Maruti Suzuki Modified The video of this modified black Maruti Suzuki Swift ZXI Plus has been…

A groundbreaking study by UCLA scientists has for the first time mapped medium and high-entropy alloys in 3D, revealing their unique combination of toughness and flexibility. This advancement could transform the way alloys are engineered and utilized. Credit: SciTechDaily.comUCLA breaks new ground in alloy research, presenting the first 3D mapping of medium and high-entropy alloys, potentially revolutionizing the field with enhanced toughness and flexibility in these materials.Alloys, which are materials such as steel…

There was a time when vans were extremely popular in India. The Maruti Omni is probably one of the most popular minivans that India ever had. It was popular as both a private and commercial vehicle. Over the years, due to strict emission and safety rules, the Omni was discontinued from the market. Maruti also introduced the Eeco, which is still on sale. The Eeco is now a commonly used commercial car with a few customers in the private segment as well. We have rarely seen anyone modify a Maruti Eeco, but in this video,…

After travelling across the Atlantic Ocean and taking an elevator hundreds of metres underground, it's hard for Jodie Defeo to put into words what it was like to be among a handful of people in Finland to take in the world's first long-term geological repository for spent nuclear fuel."It was large. It was very cavernous. There was room for large-scale trucks to manoeuvre in these tunnels," Defeo, one of four councillors in the small northwestern Ontario township of Ignace, said about the facility.Defeo was among a…

While titanium implants such as artificial hips can greatly improve patients' lives, they're also subject to serious bacterial infections. An experimental new antibacterial titanium alloy, however, could make such problems a thing of the past.When pretty much any manmade object is implanted in the body, there's a chance that harmful bacteria will colonize its surface – and the surrounding tissue. The microbes go on to form a viscous coating known as a biofilm, which is resistant to antibiotics. For this reason, a second…

The Hyundai Verna has remained one of the most popular mid-size sedans in the country for a long time. The sedan holds a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts, and over the years, many people have modified their Verna to give it a unique appearance. Recently, a video showcasing a previous generation Hyundai Verna, completely modified with a set of massive 20-inch alloy wheels and a large graphic on the side, has been shared on YouTube. The video, uploaded by Tarun Vlogs3445 on their channel, begins with…
