Researchers Study Behavior of Ferromagnetic Particles using Computer Simulations

During the course of this year, MIT Associate Professor Alfredo Alexander-Katz’s team demonstrated experimentally that ferromagnetic particles spinning under a rotating magnetic field in a milky suspension are attracted to each other across comparatively long distances in a mass of non-magnetic particles.

Researchers Reveal Metal Poisoning Process by Merging Two Powerful 3D X-Ray Techniques

Merging two powerful 3-D X-ray techniques, a team of researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Utrecht University in the Netherlands revealed new details of a process known as metal poisoning that clogs the pores of catalyst particles used in gasoline production, causing them to lose effectiveness.

Scientists Use Two Different Pictures of Reality to Better Understand Long-Standing Fundamental Problem

Trying to understand a system of atoms is like herding gnats - the individual atoms are never at rest and are constantly moving and interacting. When it comes to trying to model the properties and behavior of these kinds of systems, scientists use two fundamentally different pictures of reality, one of which is called "statistical" and the other "dynamical."

New Small-Scale Device Allows Investigators to Observe Explosions with New Levels of Accuracy

Testing explosions is epic science. The most detailed studies of explosive charges have been conducted at national laboratories using a gun as big as a room to fire a flat bullet -- the flyer plate, typically 100 millimeters in diameter -- into an explosive charge inside a thick-walled chamber that contains the fierce blast.
