Metal Foam - Innovation Nation

The video discusses a composite metal foam created by Professor Afsana Rabi with NSF support. This foam is stronger than other foams due to its structured design of hollow spheres bonded by a matrix. It can withstand significant pressure without failing, making it ideal for applications like car bumpers, where it can reduce crash impact. The video concludes with the potential of this innovation to change the world.
