By combining very large-scale molecular dynamics simulations with time-resolved data from laser experiments of shock wave propagation through specific metals,…
First described in the 18th century, zeolites have seen increasing use in industry and commerce from cat litter to industrial catalysts and “molecular sieves.”…

“There are always new improvements being introduced into sport,” says Dr Claire Davis, Senior Lecturer at the University of Birmingham. “While most changes are…
Lotus blossoms are beautiful, and always immaculately clean. Water drops bead up and roll off of their water-repellent surface, washing away every speck of…
“Barnacles that attach to naval ships are a huge cost to the Navy. Imagine if you drove a car with a parachute attached; this extra drag force requires more…
For decades, researchers have been trying to make video displays using tiny mirrors mounted on silicon oscillators. But silicon won't oscillate fast enough and…
Scientists have long assumed that a crystal needs to be perfect to sustain stress at its theoretical limit. Beyond this point dislocations in the crystal…
Professor Peter Kelly’s surface engineering group is working with Pilkington to develop their special energy-saving glass coatings, which are used to help…
For the past three years a Sandia research team headed by Mat Celina has been investigating the performance of various piezoelectric polymer films that might…
But action over these distances — though small to us — are unexplainable by conventional theories, which find no standard force sufficiently long-ranged to…
A research team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the University of Southern…
As populations of the world age the current trend is that people are not slowing down in their later years. The desire for increased activity among the elderly…
The high mechanical strength and corrosion resistant nature of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) superalloys puts them in demand for use in extreme…
Increasingly strict environmental legislation is being applied to motor vehicle emissions. An important aspect of these regulations is the restriction of the…
