Title Testing Radiation Resistance Without Using a Nuclear Reactor Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Azo Optics - azooptics.com Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 5/04/19 Description The tests at Miami showed that titanium nitride is not a suitable material for coating nuclear fuel. But the new article tells how doctoral researcher Matheus Tunes is using the transmission electron microscopy facilities at Huddersfield to analyse other materials that have promise in the field of radiation damage protection. These include high entropy alloys and MAX phases (metals with carbon and silicon).

This has helped establish a burgeoning connection between the UK and Brazilian universities.
