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.

New Phenomenon May Lead To Better Understanding of Self-Organization in Complex Systems in Nature

Synchronization can be observed when two diverse systems oscillate in an identical way. This underlies many collective phenomena seen in nature, providing an example for emergent behaviors spanning from the acoustic harmony of cricket choruses to the behavior of the human brain.
