[MAP] strengthening of aluminium alloys

[Simos, Nikolaos]

Hi Kirk/Yuri,
Inreresting and worth exploring further.
I will be glad to try and put some of it to the "real" test in the next irradiation damage cycle at BNL BLIP.
Cheers
Nick

Yuri,

Interesting!
http://www.nature.com/ncomms/journal/v1/n6/pdf/ncomms1062.pdf

Will this nanotinkering hold up well against radiation damage?

Perhaps Nick Simos could get hold of some of this material and test it at
the BLIP.
