A large steel shackle with threaded pin and safety wire. A piece of green fishermans netting rope is tied to it. It's puffed up with thick rust flakes that have deep fissures. Someone has cut a section out of the shackle, revealing bright steel with plenty of thickness left.

MIT researchers have designed a printable aluminum alloy that’s five times stronger than cast aluminum and holds up at extreme temperatures. Machine learning helped them zero in on the ideal recipe in a fraction of the time traditional methods would take. When 3D printed, the alloy forms a tightly packed internal structure that gives it exceptional strength.
