Could This Be the Future of Warfare? China's Pace-Forged Alloy Set to Revolutionize Hypersonic Flight

...

Scientists at China's Tiangong space station have made key discoveries after three years of experiments, which could greatly enhance the performance of hypersonic missiles and vehicles, as reported by Interesting Engineering. Based on these findings, researchers have created a new material, a niobium-silicon alloy. Niobium, a rare metal, is primarily used to produce high-strength steel.
