Metal structures usually have one simple rule: stay sealed or start sinking. Once water breaches the barrier, it’s game over.

Being denser than water, the metal sinks—ask any child. A team at the University of Rochester has etched aluminum tubes so ...

Scientists have developed water-repelling metal structures that will prevent ships from sinking even after damage.

Metal tubes said to be "unsinkable" have been engineered by scientists. They say the "superhydrophobic" design could lead to ...

Researchers have found a way to make ordinary aluminum tubes float indefinitely, even when submerged for long periods or ...

Ottawa, Nov. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global aluminum tubes market size was appraised at USD 898.45 million in 2024 and is predicted to hit around USD 1479.68 million by 2033, a study ...

Once modified, the aluminum should theoretically stay afloat no matter how long they are forced into water or how heavily they are damaged ...

More than a century after the Titanic sank, engineers still have hopes of someday creating "unsinkable" ships. In a step ...
