Nanometals

The Danish-Chinese Center for Nanometal investigates metals, including alloys, with internal length scales ranging from a few nanometers to a few micrometers. These are termed nanometals, and have new and interesting properties, such as exceptional mechanical strength, which are related to their internal structure. The scientific focus is to understand and control the mechanisms and parameters determining the mechanical and physical properties of such nanometals as well as their thermal stability.
