Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology
As the needs of aerospace, construction and a wide array of other disciplines become more demanding, traditional materials are proving insufficient. Through research into ceramics, new alloys and a host of other materials, ASU researchers play a role in the development of stronger, lighter and more efficient final products in buildings, planes, industrial equipment, and elsewhere.
