Regarding the flash tech for iron. I haven't had time to fully investigate, but this paper from 2019 describing the process is from University of Utah. I wonder what the real story is.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing, we didn't come across this paper in our research.
It looks like the concept is actually from 20 years ago: "Concept first proposed by H. Y. Sohn in a research proposal submitted to U.S. Department of Energy through American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) in November 2003."
