#Superhydrophobic metal tubes engineered to remain buoyant even when damaged could enable unsinkable ships, robust floating platforms, and new approaches to renewable energy generation. @UofR https://t.co/wMVX0HZGMo https://t.co/woqc78cBoo
What if we could engineer an “unsinkable” ship?
Researchers from @RochesterOptics have created aluminum tubes that are unsinkable by design, staying afloat despite prolonged submersion or even significant damage | #URochesterResearch

More than a century after the Titanic sank, engineers still have hopes of someday creating “unsinkable” ships.
In a step toward reaching that lofty goal, researchers have developed a new process that turns ordinary metal tubes unsinkable—meaning they will stay afloat no matter how long they are forced into water or how heavily they are damaged.
