Scientists engineer unsinkable metal tubes The superhydrophobic design of unsinkable metal tubes could lead to resilient ships, floating platforms, and renewable energy innovations.

Scientists have created “unsinkable” metal tubes that always stay afloat by etching micro- & nano-pits on the surface of the interior.
