Car manufacturers are constantly working to improve their engines. As a result, the demands on the materials used are also growing. With exhaust gas temperatures in new engine generations rising in part to over 1,000 degrees Celsius, increasing use is being made of parts manufactured from nickel alloys from ThyssenKrupp VDM.
Dow Corning’s William O’Brien, a global innovation strategic marketer, presented Trends in Environmentally Friendly Design and Construction to the diverse audience of business leaders, academics, policy leaders and sustainability-focused organizations.
Research at the University of Liverpool has found how mirror-image molecules gain control over each other and dictate the physical state of superstructures. The research team studied ‘chiral’ or ‘different-handed’ molecules which are distinguishable by their inability to be superimposed onto their mirror image.
Phillip Mulligan is trying to make improvised explosive devices more powerful with the idea of eventually making them less deadly.
A graduate student at Missouri University of Science and Technology, Mulligan is rese...
Louisiana Tech University's College of Engineering and Science, a nationally recognized leader in educational innovation whose goal is to become "the best college in the world at integrating engineering and scie...
Theorists in the field of molecular electronics hope to get around the problem of Newtonian Physics by designing components out of a single molecule. Pandey's group has done just that—theoretically—by modeling a single-molecule field-effect transistor on a computer.
An insulator can now be transformed to conduct electricity by an ordinary camera flash.
A Northwestern University professor and his students have found a new way of turning graphite oxide -- a low-cost insulator made ...
Because of a high Young's modulus and high sound propagation velocity, UNCD materials hold potential for fabricating high-frequency microelectromechanical (MEMS) resonators.
While the researchers can't promise delivery to a parallel universe or a school for wizards, books like Pullman's Dark Materials and JK Rowling's Harry Potter are steps closer to reality now that researchers ...
Recent work at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and several universities in Sweden and Japan, however, is shedding new light on water's molecular idiosyncrasies, offering insight into its strange bulk properties.
