Simulations Show How Coal may be Converted to Valuable, Carbon-Neutral Materials

In a warming world, coal can often seem the "bad guy." But we can do other things with coal besides burn it. A team at Ohio University used the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's Bridges-2 system to carry out a series of simulations showing how coal might eventually be converted to valuable - and carbon-neutral - materials like graphite and carbon nanotubes.

Steering An Active Terahertz Beam Using Liquid Crystal Elastomer

Conventionally, active metasurface scientists have mainly concentrated on altering the dielectric constant and permeability of the substrate, which usually leads to resonance effect and ohmic loss. However, a reconfigurable metasurface that is based on mechanical deformation can evade these concerns.
