Abstract

The purpose of the research unit UlCoMat (Ultrahigh-flux Concerting Materials) is creation of novel materials for advanced engineering systems, such as fusion and fission reactors, aerospace craft, rockets and chemical plants, based on understanding and control of the metastable phase and the self-organization induced in materials under extreme conditions. The UlCoMat will accelerate a paradigm shift from stable and resistant materials to metastable but adaptive ones. It focuses also on the science of life to seek long-life materials and a precise estimation of their existence for the development of robust engineering systems using the minimum materials compatible with economical and safety requirements.

Keywords
