Space is tough on materials. Radiation, UV light, atomic oxygen and sharp temperature swings can degrade metals, polymers and coatings over time. This article looks at the current ways researchers are ...

Electrical resistivity is a basic property that quantifies a material’s opposition to current flow—it’s the reciprocal of conductivity. The resistivity of a material depends upon several factors, ...

Corrosion becomes an inevitable problem when structures come into immediate contact with water and other chemicals, e.g., in water parks and swimming pools. It includes repeatedly accessed places such ...

NUST MISIS scientists have developed a composite material that combines high strength, wear resistance and heat resistance. The development is promising for applications in aviation, energy and ...
