Scientists Just Figured Out How To Weld Metal To Glass, Which Could Revolutionize Car Manufacturing
Professor Duncan P. Hand and his research team have developed a process called “ultrafast laser microwelding,” which uses very, very short pulses of infrared laser light to fuse two dissimilar materials together. Professor Hand described the process to Phys.org:
“The process relies on the incredibly short pulses from the laser. Being able to directly weld panels of, say, glass and aluminum could open up many interesting possibilities for auto design and manufacturing.
