Researchers at Purdue University have discovered sinuous flow deformation in metals, and an astonishingly simple method to suppress this deformation. This discovery could help advance manufacturing by increasing the efficiency of machining, and by reducing the energy and force required for metal processing.
Brown University researchers have used robust computer simulations to predict that a combination of hafnium, tantalum, and carbon (Hf-Ta-C) could result in a material with a very high melting point of over 4400K or 7460°F, which is two-thirds the sun’s surface temperature.
Researchers from University of California, Riverside have discovered a novel method to enhance the efficiency of solar energy conversion by integrating inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals with organic molecules and managing to “upconvert” photons in the visible and near-infrared regions of the solar spectrum.
