Pronunciation: [mˈɛtə͡l] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "metall" may seem unusual, but it is actually the German spelling of the English word "metal". In German, the phoneme /t/ at the end of a syllable is pronounced as /l/. Therefore, the correct pronunciation of "metall" in German is /məˈtal/. English speakers may find it difficult to pronounce the double L in "metall", but it sounds like the "ll" in "billion" or "million".
METALL stands for Materials and Energy Technology Laboratory. It is a research facility or laboratory dedicated to the study, development, and application of materials and energy-related technologies. The term METALL is often used to refer to specific research facilities or laboratories that focus on the advancement of various fields like materials science, nanotechnology, energy conversion, and storage.
METALLs typically conduct research and experiments to develop new materials with enhanced properties and performance. They aim to understand the fundamental properties of materials, their behavior under different conditions, and find innovative ways to improve their functionality. This can involve the investigation of materials at the atomic or molecular level, characterization of their mechanical, electrical, or thermal properties, and the development of novel fabrication techniques.
Additionally, METALLs also focus on energy technologies and explore ways to harness and transform energy efficiently and sustainably. They may research various renewable energy sources, energy conversion systems, energy storage technologies, and explore methods to improve energy efficiency.
METALLs often collaborate with industries, universities, and government institutions to develop cutting-edge technologies and solve real-world problems. The research conducted in METALLs contributes to advancing various scientific and engineering disciplines, enabling the development of innovative materials and energy systems that have widespread applications in industries such as aerospace, electronics, energy production, transportation, and more.
