Most commonly, sawing, carving, bending, or pressing is used to create wooden things. Researchers explain how complex 3D structures can be created by programming flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer to self-morph.
One type of renewable energy that is gaining popularity is wind power. Disposal becomes a problem, too, when it is time to swap out the massive turbine blades that turn wind energy into power.
Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology announce today a new alternative method of preparing SiC substrates for epitaxy.
In fundamental studies and practical applications, ranging from chemical reactions to bio-analysis, manipulating droplets is essential. Droplet control by light offers remote, contactless management with astounding temporal and spatial precision. Meanwhile, high-performance and dependable droplet light control are still difficult to achieve.
In the past, it has been difficult to understand the highly complicated processes that occur when ions penetrate a substance because they happen so quickly. However, modern measurements have made it possible.
The key to producing better rechargeable lithium batteries could be a little brushing. Chemistry professor James Tour’s lab at Rice University developed a method for fine-tuning the surface of battery anodes by merely brushing particles into them.
An international team of scientists from Saudi Arabia, China, Pakistan, India, and Australia have collaborated on a new paper in Cement and Concrete Composites using machine learning to test foamed concrete.
