Engineers from Trinity College Dublin are leading a four-year, €500,000 European Space Agency (ESA) project to fine-tune 'Cold Spray,' (CS) – a revolutionary, environmentally friendly technology that deposits materials onto engineering components. The fruits of their labours will be seen on spacecraft in outer space as well as on a variety of household applications and on the transport vehicles we use every day.
