Common sense tells us that when you heat something up it gets softer, but
a team of researchers, led by University
of Toronto chemistry and physics professor R.J. Dwayne Miller, has demonstrated
the exact opposite.
Scientists at Penn State University
and the Virginia Commonwealth University have discovered a way to produce hydrogen
by exposing selected clusters of aluminum atoms to water. The findings are important
because they demonstrate that it is the geometries of these aluminum clusters,
rather than solely their electronic properties, that govern the proximity of
the clusters' exposed active sites.
Neil Young said it in 1979: Rust never sleeps. Today, Battelle
researchers have taken his words to heart. In their innovative heads, they have
come up with a smart coating that can reveal where corrosion is forming on metal
even though one can't see the degradation with the naked eye.
Since 1 January 2009, Arburg
has been officially represented in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with its own
sales and service office. The Arabplast, which took place from 10 to 13 January
in Dubai, provided the ideal forum for presenting the new Arburg organisation
and Allrounder technology to the Arabian trade public.
After announcing last April a method for growing exceptionally long, straight,
numerous and well-aligned carbon cylinders only a few atoms thick, a Duke
University-led team of chemists has now modified that process to create
exclusively semiconducting versions of these single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Researchers at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute have discovered a new method for controlling the nature
of graphene, bringing academia and industry potentially one step closer to realizing
the mass production of graphene-based nanoelectronics.
The smallest mechanical switch plus an electronic switch of a type never seen before. That’s how physicist Marius Trouwborst from the University of Groningen sums up the results of his PhD research on electric curr...
BHP Billiton today announced that it will immediately commence the safe ramp down and indefinite suspension of the Ravensthorpe Nickel Operation (Australia).
As a consequence, Yabulu (Australia) will cease processing ...
Precious Earth, a sustainable jewelry line, takes a step forward from the cadre of ethical jewelers with the launch of a line dedicated to transparency and consciousness in the jewelry trade by raising awareness for bene...
Custom Mag wheels on a commercial truck? This idea would normally be too outrageously
cost-prohibitive to even consider, but the design team at RealWheels has made
it possible with their new patented RealMag Hub Cover.
