Atomic-6, a leading manufacturer of advanced mobility composites, today introduced a revolutionary protection product for spacecraft and astronauts - Space Armor™ tiles. Space Armor™ tiles are the first RF (radio frequency)-permeable orbital debris shield, resisting impact while allowing mission-critical radio communications to and from the satellite it's protecting. In another world's first, Space Armor™ tiles are fragmentation resistant - protecting spacecraft from debris without creating harmful secondary debris that endangers other satellites. With Space Armor™ tiles, available now for government and commercial satellites, Atomic-6 protects the future of human space activity and sets a new standard for responsible space stewardship.

The UK steps into a new era of space manufacturing. Officials opened the Advanced Composites Manufacturing Enterprise (ACMA) in Hardwicke, Gloucester. iCOMAT, a University of Bristol spin-out, leads this £8.2 million facility. It promises 2,000 skilled jobs. Moreover, it positions the UK at the forefront of advanced space engineering. The UK Space Agency contributed £4.8 million from its Space Clusters Infrastructure Fund.

Researchers are mimicking nacre's structure to create strong, colorful, and transparent composites for applications from body armor to flexible displays.

We developed polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers embedded with various commercially available metal oxide particles (Fe2O3, TiO2, MnO2, Co3O4, CoFe2O4, ZnFe2O4) via electrospinning for the removal of uranium (U(VI)) from aqueous systems. We compared the performance of composites electrospun with and without the inclusion of phthalic acid (PTA), building on our prior evidence that PTA can promote particle dispersion in precursor sol–gels. Characterization using SEM, TEM, XPS, and BET confirmed that PTA results in improved metal oxide distribution within the polymer fiber, promotes enrichment of metal oxides on the nanofiber surface, and increases composite surface area and porosity. In batch sorption experiments, PTA-containing composites consistently exhibited greater U(VI) uptake than those without PTA, producing more than 2- and 3-fold increases for top-performing Fe2O3 and TiO2 composites, respectively. For Fe2O3 and TiO2 composites with PTA, U(VI) uptake increased from pH 2 to 7, suggesting a contribution from retained phthalic acid (as phthalate), and isotherm studies revealed sorption capacities exceeding ∼8 mg U/g (corresponding to >90% of U(VI) removal) at environmentally relevant concentrations (∼1 μM). These composites are offer a simple, one-pot fabrication route to high-performing U(VI) sorbents in which PTA improves metal oxide distribution, surface area and pore volume of the polymer–metal oxide composites while also contributing to U(VI) uptake via cooperative binding with embedded metal oxides.
