New Technique Allows Closer Study of How Radiation Damages Materials
Raleigh NC (SPX) Aug 08, 2013 - A team of researchers led by North Carolina State University has developed a technique that provides real-time images of how magnesium changes at the atomic scale when exposed to radiation. The technique may give researchers new insights into how radiation weakens the integrity of radiation-tolerant materials, such as those used in space exploration and in nuclear energy technologies.
