Ultra-High-Smallness Steel - Technologue

Developing Affordable Steel That's About as Strong as Aluminum
Cheap gas makes vehicle buyers eager to pay for space, comfort, and capability and utterly unwilling to spend a dime on fuel economy. But although our embarrassingly ineffective government feels bad about the oil use and carbon dioxide production this free-market reality results in, it doesn't have the cojones to fix the problem efficiently with a gas tax. Instead, it passes the buck to automotive engineers who must figure out ways to sneak fuel efficiency into vehicles without buyers noticing on the window sticker. A potential success story on that front: affordable steel that's about as light and strong as aluminum.
