Water is vital to life on Earth, and it's importance cannot be overstated. However, from a scientific point of view, there is more to be known about water and its various solid phases. These phases exhibit a plethora of unusual properties and so-called anomalies which, while being the main reason for the biological and chemical importance of water, are often viewed as controversial.
Scientists are working toward innovative techniques to break down electrons from matter, and this research could have an impact on radiation therapy.
Glenn Fredrickson, a UC Santa Barbara (UCSB) engineer, has been presented with the 2016 William H. Walker Award for Excellence in Contributions to Chemical Engineering Literature awarded by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).
Superior quality crystals will be produced when they do not experience mechanical stress during their growth. Levitate the liquid metal is the idea behind a new project headed by the University of Twente (UT).
In non-contact displacement measurement applications, engineers often overlook the effects of temperature variations on the measurement accuracy of the sensor. It is therefore critical to check supplier datasheets, says Chris Jones
They say diamonds are forever, but in fact they are a metastable form of carbon that will slowly and ultimately transform into another form of carbon, graphite. It would be of great potential if materials designers could design and synthesize other long-lasting, thermodynamically metastable materials. However, this has yet to become a reality due to the lack of rational understanding of them.
Scientists have developed a new dry adhesive that bonds in extreme temperatures, a quality that could make this product suitable for space exploration and beyond. The adhesive was developed by researchers from Case Western Reserve University, Dayton Air Force Research Laboratory, and China.
As part of the Electronics Assembly with Phil Zarrow video series, Indium Corporation's Bill Jackson, Director and General Manager of Compounds, and SMT expert Phil Zarrow, President and Principal Consultant for ITM Consulting, discuss the applications of indium.
Magritek, a leading provider of compact NMR and MRI instruments, reports on how the Centre of Expertise on Sustainable Chemistry at Karel de Grote University College in Antwerp is using a Spinsolve benchtop NMR spectrometer in both teaching and research.
In the world of big data, there are limitations on storing large volumes of information. Typical home-computer hard disk drives use up a lot of power and are limited to a few terabytes per drive. Optical storage media such as Blu-ray and DVD, are energy efficient and inexpensive, however storage densities are very low because of the optical diffraction limit and planar nature of the discs. However, scientists have made progress on creating a 3D diamond chip capable of storing vastly more data compared to existing technologies.
