SCIENCE!
Researchers at NC state have created an aluminum alloy that is just as strong as steel. This discovery is important because using an alloy that has the same strength of steel yet weighs much less can be instrumental in manufacturing many things, from more fuel efficient cars to lighter planes.
How did they do it? NANO-STRUCTURING. Nanotech is wonderful, isn't it?

I can think of the military application of this!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind comments on my blog :)
ReplyDeleteWoooaaah, cool!
ReplyDeleteCan we do mass production of this? It would be really efficient on car, truck and much more.
Holy crap! I don't necessarily think military applications comes to mind at first, but I can DEFINITELY think how this would be convenient for everyday living!
ReplyDeleteIf they really can do it, it should have an amazing impact on construction of houses, towers, etc.!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!

wooot sounds exciting to me, but i suck @ chemistry :C
ReplyDeleteholy moly!
ReplyDeletewhoa
ReplyDeletenice
ReplyDeleteso wat could they do if they used this with steel?
ReplyDeleteWat? I imagine steel would become sort of unnecessary. This is just as strong, but lighter. The best of both worlds.
ReplyDeletevery interesting . . . I wonder how difficult it would be to bend
