Metal foam - a material future

Metal foam
Professor of mechanics and aircraft engineering from the University of North Carolina (USA), Afsaneh Rabiei aimed at producing material that is lightweight like aluminum, but stronger than steel. After a long investigation that it is managed.
This new material, which because of its appearance resembles a sponge or foam, was given the name " metal foam ", and its use-value is almost unlimited. It can be used for the construction of buildings čuvršćih, safer cars, and even better replacement for parts of the human body, such as artificial hips and the like. Of course, this material is interesting and the army, and is working on developing better armor and armored vehicles.
Fascinating detail is that the foam absorb seven to nine times more energy than similar materials, and so is easier than most materials are now used the same can be used in products that will rescue their lives, save energy, and at the end and save money .
It is interesting to see such a scientific breakthrough with the technologies that can improve life in so many fields, and that the same is not abused. And what interested me personally was concerned whether the professor will continue to deal with his job at the University for long years and it will be recruited by the authorities to continue his research in 'mišjoj hole' for the good of mankind.
