LAUREL, Maryland, July 16 (TNSres) -- The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory issued the following news release:
At around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, steel melts. When aluminum is exposed to moisture and oxygen, it corrodes. While these conventional alloys are well suited to everyday environments, they fold under abnormally excessive exposure to extreme heat, cold, pressure and other conditions. And with the nation conducting more and more operations in extreme enviro . . .
