When coated with a 50–100 nanometer layer of aluminum oxide, the material was able to withstand loads of as much as 280 megapascals, stronger than any other known material whose density was less than 1,000 kilograms per cubic metre (1,700 lb/cu yd), that of water.
The first woman was elected to lead a country 64 years ago. Here’s a look at where, and when, women have secured national leadership positions since then.
Syntactic foam, shown by scanning electron microscopy, consisting of glass microspheres within a matrix of epoxy resin. Syntactic foams are composite materials synthesized by filling a metal, polymer, [1] cementitious or ceramic matrix with hollow spheres called microballoons [2] or cenospheres or non-hollow spheres (e.g. perlite) as aggregates.
