Nanomaterials are offering unique opportunities for the design of future nuclear materials. In our recent paper at ACS Applied Nano Materials, we demonstrate that AISI-316 steel nanoparticles are capable of self-healing from the deleterious effect of heavy-ion collisions.
We also pose a new question to the materials community on the recyclability of potential nuclear nanomaterials.
