The British science magazine New Scientist — a world-class prestigious publisher of scientific news communication — is bringing a very interesting story coverage on our recent preprint “Radiation-resistant aluminium alloy for space missions in the extreme environment of the solar system”.
In their article entitled “Aluminium alloy could boost spacecraft radiation shielding 100-fold”, Alex Wilkins emphasizes the innovative aspects of our approach to space materials via the design of novel aluminium alloys, that may in the future, enable human-based colonies in Mars, blocking the deadly levels of solar’s irradiation in the red planet.
Wilnks’s article has been shared quite extensively in the social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram etc) and I am very happy with the people’s engagement in our scientific research. That’s why we are here for: to do science for the people!
