Being denser than water, the metal sinks—ask any child. A team at the University of Rochester has etched aluminum tubes so ...
A video shows unsinkable metal tubes retaining their buoyancy even after they are damaged or fully submerged for extended ...
When the treated tube is submerged, the water-repelling interior traps a stable air pocket inside. This air prevents the tube ...
More than a century after the Titanic sank, engineers still have hopes of someday creating "unsinkable" ships. In a step ...
Scientists have developed water-repelling metal structures that will prevent ships from sinking even after damage.
Researchers have found a way to make ordinary aluminum tubes float indefinitely, even when submerged for long periods or ...
