American scientists have created an ultralight porous metal that does not sink
American scientists presented an ultralight porous metal capable of floating.
The new metal matrix composite was developed by specialists from Deep Springs Technology and the Polytechnic School of Engineering at New York University with the participation of the US Army.
The Pentagon hopes to use the potential of revolutionary material to create new military technologies.
So, it, in particular, can be successfully used in the construction of military ships that do not sink even with significant damage, as well as for ultralight armor.
In addition, the porous metal can withstand high temperatures and keep warm for a long time, which can be used in the creation of engines.
As scientists note, the development of a new composite technology is very close to completion, and testing of its prototype may begin in the next three years.
