We are excited to share that our recent perspective review, “The Legacy and the Future of Aluminum Alloys: Space Exploration and Extraterrestrial Settlement,” has been featured among the Top 20 Most Read Articles in the American Chemical Society (ACS) Materials Au! https://pubs.acs.org/action/showMostReadArticles?journalCode=amacgu
Most Read Articles are refreshed daily and are based on full-text downloads (PDF and HTML) over the previous 30 days and 12 months. This ranking highlights research that has attracted exceptional interest and engagement within the scientific community.
Our perspective discusses how aluminum alloys, which have shaped the course of aerospace and space exploration for decades, will continue to play a key role in the next frontier — sustainable human presence beyond Earth. We explore aluminum’s enduring importance in spacecraft design, lightweight structural applications, and its potential in extraterrestrial environments such as the Moon and Mars.
We are deeply grateful to the ACS community for their support and interest in our work.
