Nanocrystalline lightweight alloys for space exploration

We continue in our saga aiming at finding better radiation-resistant materials for applications in the extreme environment of the solar system. I am delighted to introduce you our new paper that was led by Patrick Willenshofer (another genius from Montanuniversitaet Leoben). In this paper, we introduce a revolutionary nanocrystalline crossover aluminium alloy that scored the highest radiation tolerance dose-level record ever achieved within the field of lightweight alloys for space applications!
