A new method for making iron is not only faster and cheaper, but also better for the environment, according to Chinese researchers.

The result is a display of bright red, glowing liquid iron droplets that rain down and collect at the bottom of the furnace, forming a stream of high-purity iron that can be directly used for casting or “one-step steelmaking”.

Looking forward to the videos.
