ʻO ka Nano-copper ka superplastic ductility, hiki ke hoʻolōʻihi ʻia ma mua o 50 mau manawa ma ka lumi wela me ka ʻole o nā māwae.I kēia mau lā, ua ʻike nā mea noiʻi ma ka French National Research Center e loaʻa i nā nanocrystals keleawe me ka awelika nui o 80 nanometers wale nō nā waiwai mechanical kupaianaha, ʻaʻole wale ʻekolu manawa ʻoi aku ka ikaika ma mua o ke keleawe maʻamau, akā ʻo ka deformation like ʻole, me ka ʻike ʻole o ka haʻikiʻi kūloko.ʻO kēia ka manawa mua i ʻike ai nā ʻepekema i kahi ʻano elastoplastic maikaʻi loa o ka mea.Ua wehe nā ʻano mechanical o nā nanocrystals keleawe i nā hiʻohiʻona nani no ka hana ʻana i nā mea elastic i ka lumi wela.

Eia kekahi, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Copper a me kāna mau nanopowder alloy e like me nā catalysts me ka hana kiʻekiʻe a me ka koho ikaika.Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia lākou ma ke ʻano he catalysts i ke kaʻina hana o ka carbon dioxide a me ka hydrogen i ka methanol.
