HPC Simulations Uncover How Hydrogen Moves Through Metals
Hydrogen can weaken metals by causing internal cracks, a problem known as hydrogen embrittlement. Using advanced simulations and digital twins, researchers modeled how hydrogen moves through metallic microstructures. Their findings reveal a new inward diffusion mechanism, challenging classical theories and offering fresh insights for safer hydrogen-based technologies.
