Blacksmiths from ÚFM Trade the Anvil for a Quantum Computer
10.12.2025 New technologies are opening entirely new possibilities for the development of materials. While blacksmiths spent hundreds of years testing the strength and durability of materials—such as steel—directly on the anvil, today’s scientists rely on very different methods. Thanks to supercomputers and quantum technologies, they can now predict the properties of materials atom by atom.
