Professor Ralf Busch (left) and his team want to use metallic glasses to make electric motors more energy efficient. The research group have developed novel alloys whose properties allow them to 3D print fully glass-like metallic motor components. Doctoral student Amirhossein Ghavimi (right) carried out research on the new alloys.
