Development of new materials

Signal's description

(approx. 150 words)
Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)
In the nuclear research, R&D also in other fields of science is necessary. It is expecially the material science and its progress in development of new materials, first used in other industries (e.g. in airplanes) and then applied also to more efficient production of nuclear energy.

Keywords

nuclear energy, materials, R&D, development, industry

Signal's first apperance

2005-now

Signal's potential evolution

It could lead to...
issue type of issue/development potential impact on society timeframe for the issue to become at least 50% probable
#1 The trend in development of new materials can indicate their consequent utilization in various industries new/emerging
 		very beneficial
 		now-2050

Under what assumption the Weak Signal might evolve.

The WE might evolve more rapidly only if a certain level of investment or public support to material science is reached.
