Engineering is commonly associated with macroscopic scale design. Nowadays,
however, multiscale approaches are unavoidable in most engineering domains. I
will present an application of molecular dynamics atomistic simulations aimed
to study the potential and limits of nanostructuring a very simple material, a
ferritic steel, in order to made stronger the currently strongest (yet
ductile) metallic material commercially available by millions of tons. A
material that you have used, perhaps unaware, this very morning.
