MIT alumni-founded Allium Engineering is tripling the lifetime of bridges and other structures with a technology that makes rebar more impervious to rust. The system slots into existing steelmaking processes to make infrastructure more resilient and affordable. https://news.mit.edu/2025/allium-engineering-enables-100-year-bridges-corrosion-resistant-steel-0520 (fb)

MIT engineering students just cracked a long-held belief :🥚 eggs are actually stronger on their sides, not their tips! Their experiments show that sideways eggs act like shock absorbers—bending more and breaking less. This surprising twist rewrites the rules of the classic egg drop challenge and reminds us that even “settled” science can be scrambled. (fb)
