A collaborative team of researchers from City University of Hong Kong, Dalian University of Technology in China and Ariel University in Israel, has discovered that the impact of a droplet on a solid surface is more complex than just the spreading and retracting phases. The team has reported their study in the Applied Physics Letters journal, from AIP Publishing.
Materials scientists from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have discovered new methods to produce highly strong ceramics with properties such as outstanding hardness, capacity to resist very high temperatures and better corrosion resistance than metals, and still possess the ability to be ductile i.e. deform or dent without fracturing - basically, a ceramic that can bend but not break.
The researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT in Aachen have developed a new clamping system that holds promise in eliminating vibration of blades during processing. This novel clamping system is capable of improving vibration absorption of blades by over 400 times and minimizes the manufacturing costs by 5000 Euros.
A research team from the New York University has created a new method of producing ordered structures of microparticles in different materials. This method holds promise in enhancing the arrangement and color of optical materials employed in computer screens in addition to other consumer products.
The Ohio State University researchers have now achieved a milestone to success, following the debut of the world's first solar air battery the previous year. Their patent-pending design, which integrates both solar cell and battery into a single device is capable of achieving 20% energy savings when compared to conventional lithium-iodine batteries.
DVD material holds tremendous potential. This has been proven by an international research team, which has discovered that the material is suitable as a highly rapid light switch for data processing or optical communication.
Researchers at MIT and other institutes have identified that two processes previously thought to be unrelated, catalysis and wetting, are closely related to each other. This surprising result could help to identify new catalysts for specific applications.
An international team of researchers, including a geoscientist from Virginia Tech, has demonstrated how nature employs different pathways for crystal growth that outperform the classical, one-atom-at-a-time route.
A new technology developed by Kiel University scientists allows visual identification of even minute temperature differences at high spatial resolution, irrespective of the material. This novel concept reported in the current edition of Advanced Materials journal, challenges other similar procedures.
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.
