Understanding the interplay of grains helps cars drop the pounds, be more fuel efficient

Sometimes solving the biggest challenges begins with understanding something very small — like the tiny grains that form a piece of metal. For a team of scientists who wanted to improve automotive fuel efficiency, understanding and controlling the size of the grains in aluminum allowed the design of an easy and inexpensive method for producing lightweight automotive parts, replacing heavier steel, leading to improved fuel efficiency
