Game-Changing Science in Zero Gravity
Chinese scientists just leveled up space research with groundbreaking discoveries about ultra-heat-resistant metals aboard the country’s orbiting space station! The findings could reshape everything from spacecraft design to next-gen engineering.
Melting Points Meet Microgravity
A team from Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) tested over 10 types of high-performance refractory alloys – rare metals that don’t quit even at 2,000°C+ – using a slick containerless experiment cabinet. No touchy, no messy!
Why Space Labs Rule
Six rounds of experiments since April 2021
Electrostatic levitation tests in microgravity
First-ever thermal property measurements at extreme temps
\"We’ve unlocked secrets about how these alloys behave in wild conditions,\" said NPU Prof. Wang Haipeng. Talk about science magic!
