Scientists Put Forth New Physics Rule to Locate Mechanical Strain

Recently, three scientists from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, addressing a physics problem that dates back to Galileo, have suggested a new method to the theory of how thin sheets can be forced to conform to “geometrically incompatible” shapes—similar to gift-wrapping a basketball—that depends on intertwining two fundamental ideas of geometry and mechanics that were long believed to be incompatible.

Kanazawa Team Creates Spherical Vanadium Oxide Clusters That Can Trap and Hold CO2

How can carbon dioxide be separated from carbon monoxide? As demonstrated in a new study from Kanazawa University, one way is to use a bowl of vanadium. To be more precise, a hollow, spherical cluster of vanadate molecules can distinguish between CO2 and CO, enabling potential uses in CO2 capture and storage.
