Controlling radiation damage in nanomaterials

~ Matheus A. Tunes ~ Leave a comment

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. … Continue reading Controlling radiation damage in nanomaterials
