Metamaterials that manipulate both heat and electricity with Thermotics Thermal management is crucial due to the ubiquitous presence of heat energy in nature. Traditional metamaterials have been designed to control heat flow through methods like cloaking and concentrating. However, these designs often s...
Nanoscale Electron Imaging reveals how Heat Moves in Materials Scientists develop a nanoscale electron imaging method that reveals the dynamics of the collective vibrations of atoms at the interface between materials. In crystals, atoms vibrate around their equilibrium, or basic, positions. The vibratio...
MIT study highlights risks of ships switching to Ammonia Fuel As container ships the size of city blocks cross the oceans to deliver cargo, their huge diesel engines emit large quantities of air pollutants. It has been estimated that maritime shipping accounts for almost 3 percent of global carbon dioxi...
Leveraging Pressure Gradients for a novel Manifold Design Theory University of Illinois researcher Kyle Smith, along with doctoral students Md Habibur Rahman and Vu Do, master’s student Colby Warden, and recent graduate Irwin Loud IV (MSME 2023), have published their new manifold design theory (patent p...
Shell driving Green Hydrogen with Ceres Solid Oxide Electrolyser Module Contract Ceres has been awarded a further contract for the second phase of its collaboration with Shell, to cooperate in the design of a solid oxide electrolyser module, for use in large-scale industrial applications such as synthet...
Ground-breaking Field Instrument enables Lava Flow Mapping Millions of people live near active volcanoes that are constantly monitored for signs of an impending eruption. When one occurs, scientists and governments rely on data to estimate the extent of the possible damage, informing evacuation plans an...
Next-Gen Materials with Direct Observation of Electron Transfer in Solids Nanoscale electron transfer (ET) in solids is fundamental to the development of multifunctional materials. However, ET in solids is not yet clearly understood. Now, researchers from Japan achieved a direct observation of solid-sta...
Aerogels could Cool Buildings and Protect from Electromagnetic Radiation Aerogels, known for their porosity and low density, are solid materials that offer versatile functionality — from gobbling up fat globules in weight-management supplements to facilitating more sustainable metal-recycling processes....
Brewing Coffee helping to Understanding Turbulence in Pipes In 1883 Osborne Reynolds injected ink into water in a short, clear pipe to observe its movement. His experiments showed that as the input water velocity increased, the flow went from laminar (smooth and predictable) to turbulent (unsteady and u...
Atomic Density Fluctuations in Silica Glass The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that give rise to FSDP is still lacking. Addressing this gap, resea...
Avoiding Electric Car Charging Queues with AI More and more people drive electric cars, which has lead to congestion and queues when multiple cars need to charge at the same time. A new study from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden shows how AI-controlled charging stations, through smart algori...
University of Utah announce crucial Geothermal Energy Milestone A major University of Utah-led geothermal research project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), achieved a critical breakthrough in April after hydraulically stimulating and circulating water through heated rock formations a mile...
Imperial using Lower Emission Technology for Oil Production Imperial today announced its Grand Rapids oil sands project has started production at Cold Lake, marking the first commercial deployment of the recovery technology that uses less steam to lower emissions intensity. The project, located at Imper...
Teledyne FLIR updates AI-Enabled Neutrino Ground ISR Imaging Module Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, today announced the next mid-wave infrared (MWIR) Neutrino Ground ISR imaging module. The new ITAR-free Neutrino SX8-ISR 35-700 model with 1280×1024 resolution combines Tel...
