Composite Metal Foams Are Lighter, Stronger Than the Metals They Are Made Of

Caption

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a range of composite metal foams that are lighter and stronger than the materials they are made of. The foams can be used in applications from armor to hazardous material transport -- and the researchers are now looking for collaborators to help identify and develop new applications.
