To me, this sort of extreme attention to detail, and a successful design, is part of the art and “existential pleasures of engineering,” to borrow the title of Samuel Florman's excellent 1976 book.

"All sectors of energy production need materials that can withstand extreme conditions," says Demkowicz, whose model offers a new approach to designing nanocomposites with desirable traits.

The big question: Would climate engineering like sending reflective particles into the stratosphere or brightening clouds help reduce the national security risks of climate change or make them worse?
