Rolls-Royce Corp. has acquired exclusive rights to use a coating invented by
Iowa State University researchers that helps jet engine turbines stand up to
metal temperatures reaching 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit. The coating
compositions came from research backed by the Office of Naval Research
starting seven years ago, and researchers plan to continue to look for a better
and cheaper way to produce the coating. For more information, visit
