Discovery to inspire more radiation-resistant metals

Discovery to inspire more radiation-resistant metals Ann Arbor, Mich. (UPI) Dec 16, 2016 - Metals exposed to radiation at high temperatures swell. That's a problem for the nuclear energy and aerospace industries. Scientists at the University of Michigan may have found a solution. Researchers there found metal alloys boasting three or more equally distributed elements are resistant to radiation-induced swelling. Radiation undermines metallic structures.
