Nanostructured Material Offers Environmentally Safe Armor-piercing Capability, May Replace …
Armor-piercing projectiles made of depleted uranium have caused concern among soldiers storing and using them. Now, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory are close to developing a new composite with an internal structure resembling fudge-ripple ice cream that is actually comprised of environmentally safe materials to do the job even better.
An unusual experiment: prof builds experimental reactors in his basement
Professor John Gleaves is building self-invented reactors in his basement. These reactors are helping lead the search for new industrial catalysts. The reactors, known as Temporal Analysis of Products or TAP reactors, help determine the efficiency of new catalysts.
