If you replaced some of their steel and aluminum components and body parts with magnesium metal ones, you'd have automobiles that are as much as 50% lighter!

If you replaced some of their steel and aluminum components and body parts with magnesium metal ones, you'd have automobiles that are as much as 50% lighter! That means they would be more fuel-efficient than their heavier pals.

Infinium, a small business funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), has developed a new way to make magnesium metal – a zero-emissions, energy efficient technology that also costs much less than current production methods.

The race towards lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles just ramped up a notch.

The research in this video was supported by NSF Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) awards: #0912743 and #1026639.
