Intuition suggests that when a material sample is compressed uniformly from all sides it will decrease in size. Only a few materials exhibit the opposite behavior, by slightly expanding in a couple of directions when subjected to hydrostatic compression.
Materials that contain cavities and small capillaries are used for separation, filtration, and various other technologies, and without such materials it would be impossible to lead a modern lifestyle.
Researchers at The University of Pittsburgh's Swanson School of Engineering have demonstrated for the first time that the concept of “materials that compute” can possibly be developed to detect simple patterns. This latest breakthrough brings us one step closer towards such hybrid materials.
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.
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and China’s Shandong University have been involved in crystal research which is predicted to have a positive impact on laser applications.
Gen3 Systems Limited, a specialist British manufacturer and distributor, has installed a second chamber due to the increase in demand for its Surface Insulation Resistance (SIR) and Conductive Anodic Filament Monitoring (CAF) test services. The new Temperature (& Humidity) Chamber (Platinous J Series) takes Gen3’s in-house testing facility to the next level.

Edwards Vacuum has been recognized as one of ten companies receiving a 2016 Supplier Excellence Award from Lam Research Corp. (NASDAQ: LRCX), a major global supplier of innovative wafer fabrication equipment and services...
A new approach to restrict man-made greenhouse gases from flowing into the atmosphere has more potential over other approaches. The approach recommends that the gases be captured at chief sources, such as fossil-fuel-burning power plants, and then be injected into deep, water-saturated rocks where they can remain stably trapped for several centuries.
Researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), North Carolina State University (NC State), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used Bayesian statistical methods to develop a novel approach for materials characterization and as a result, to gain new insights into material structures.
