Cars Could Ditch Heavy Metal in Favor of This Alloy

The video discusses the potential of using magnesium metal in car manufacturing to improve fuel efficiency by reducing vehicle weight. Although magnesium is twice as expensive as aluminum, Infinium, a Massachusetts-based company, has developed a cost-effective, zero-emission method to produce magnesium using metal oxide electrolysis. With support from the National Science Foundation, this innovation could revolutionize magnesium production and lead to a new generation of lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles.
