NIMS Japan automates SEM and nanoindentation workflow, reducing aerospace alloy characterization time from 7 years to 13 days. 2,400 datasets across 220 conditions analyzed; SEM+automation replaces traditional tensile testing, enables high-throughput materials development. Automated SEM and nanoindentation at NIMS Japan: Accelerating alloy discovery Likely publishing date: 2026-04-07 Automated SEM and nanoindentation at NIMS Japan: Accelerating alloy discovery How automated SEM workflows cut aerospace alloy testing from years to days What if you could condense years of materials testing into just 13 days? At the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan, researchers have done exactly that. By transforming a process that traditionally takes over seven years into an automated workflow, they are reshaping the development of aerospace materials. ...
