Liquid Granite is not only capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 1100 degrees Celsius, but it also maintains its heat adversity for longer and won't explode at extreme temperatures like traditional concrete

Corrosion tests can be performed on metals, alloys and metallic coatings, such as hot-dip and electroplated surfaces

Researchers are applying laser-driven technology to off-shore oil pipelines in a green project that has the potential to save thousands of pounds

The project will determine the method by which coatings on contaminated surfaces fail through the development of protocols

This project will add various corrosion inhibitors in the formulation to investigate their corrosion resistance and mechanism to the coated metal through electrochemical analysis
