Making the most out of ‘extreme science’ (European Union)
Whether it is in space, inside a nuclear
plant or in the kitchen, we expect products and systems to work
efficiently and safely under varying conditions. One area of science
specialises in providing reliable materials for top-end products and
new applications in ‘extreme environments’. Meanwhile, a European
consortium is looking for ways to boost this field.Today’s products and systems are expected to perform dependably and often under extremely demanding conditions, such as exposure to physical and chemical attack, intense irradiation, heat and pressure, while dealing with complex mechanical loads. The nanotechnology revolution and advances in nanoscience and knowledge-based systems are pushing the boundaries of materials science. More here
