When the treated tube is submerged, the water-repelling interior traps a stable air pocket inside. This air prevents the tube ...

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

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

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 at the University of Rochester's ...

Researchers have developed a new process that turns ordinary metal tubes unsinkable - meaning they will stay afloat no matter ...

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

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