Noise from commercial and military jet aircraft causes environmental problems for communities near airports, obliging airplanes to follow often complex…
Other problems cited include an absence of information about groups working in the sector and the domestic industry's reluctance to manufacture large…
Metal alloys are solids made from at least two different metallic elements. The elements are often mixed together as liquid, and when they “freeze,” into…
Guangwen Zhou, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, will use state-of-the-art techniques involving transmission electron…
Its introduction extends the use of PLA, a bio-based alternative to petrochemical-derived products, to applications beyond chilled-storage packaging. New…
DuPont Photovoltaic Fluoromaterials (PVFM) announced it has developed a proprietary technology to produce backsheet containing DuPont™ Tedlar® polyvinyl…
The material was selected due to its exceptionally low warpage, high stiffness and excellent electrical insulating properties. One of the first commercial…
applications for power stations and airplanes have to meet increasingly high demands on system efficiency. The materials used must be absolutely safe and…
The lighter an aircraft is, the less fuel it consumes. Given the need to cut carbon dioxide emissions, this is a key aspect of materials research. Aircraft…
The tension can cause gaps to appear between the tooth and the filling, encouraging more caries to form. For the first time, researchers have simulated this…
“Currently, food heated in a microwave loses heat to the cold dish because the dishes are transparent to microwaves,” says Sridhar Komarneni, distinguished…
When the horses and competitors go through their paces at the Summer Olympics in Hong Kong in 2008 it will be very hot and very humid – just as it is every…
