By implementing an axial hydro cyclone desilting can be done within the pressure pipe of hydropower plants.
The device produces a heavy swirling flow, the particles are carried radially outwards due to the centrifugal force and extracted after a short pathway.
For engineers and computer scientists, such vehicles are no longer a vision but a reality that has not yet prevailed. “To the disadvantage for many people”,…
One of the cogent necessities in the contemporary world is the storage of a vast amount of digital data. Currently, there are different methods available for…
The experiment starts from the principle of a classic billiard table. An international team of physicists created a kind of miniature pool table where the…
Using computational modeling, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, the Colorado School of Mines and the University of California, Davis have come up with…
Many mysteries of nature are locked up in the world of the very small and the very fast. Chemical reactions and material phase transitions, for example, happen…
An international team of astronomers, including Dr Simon Vaughan from the University of Leicester's Department of Physics and Astronomy, has discovered a…
After being produced in a collision, subatomic particles spontaneously decay into other particles, following one of many possible decay paths. Out of one…
“These findings will help us better understand and develop strategies to adapt to the severity of ocean acidification in different marine ecosystems around the…
The work was recently published in the Journal of Cleaner Production. It outlines a way to help designers and manufacturing engineers carefully consider all…
“It’s tough to replace the current transistor technology, because semiconductors do such a fantastic job,” said Roman Engel-Herbert, assistant professor of…
In this new image of Jupiter a broad range of features has been captured, including winds, clouds and storms. The scientists behind the new images took…
One of these strategies is plants' ability to continue growing new, diverse organs, including roots, branches and flowers, throughout their lifespan. But of…
We can't see the wind, but we can learn about it by observing things that are being blown about. And by studying changes in a comet's bright tail of gas and…
Germanium is a semiconductor and this method provides a straightforward way to make semiconducting nanoscale circuits from graphene, a form of carbon only one…
According to new studies of a comet tail observed by NASA's Solar and Terrestrial Relations Observatory, or STEREO, the vacuum of interplanetary space is…
