Aluminum is nice and light, but as an easily crushable soft drink can shows, that comes at the cost of strength. By introducing faults into the metal's crystalline structure, researchers at Purdue University have now developed new Aluminum Alloys that are about as strong as stainless steel, and they could be put to work in corrosion-resistant coatings.
