New Method for Creating Tough Metallic Glass Composites (3/2/2008)

Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have developed a new strategy for creating "liquid metal" that makes it able to bend significantly without breaking, while retaining a strength twice that of titanium. It is among the toughest, or least brittle, known materials, and could be used anywhere that strong metal alloys are traditionally found, but may prove most useful in the aerospace industry, where lower density means fuel savings. ...> Full Article


New X-ray technique may lead to better, cleaner fuel injectors for automobiles (2/20/2008)

New X-ray technique may lead to better, cleaner fuel injectors for automobilesStandard microscopy and visible light imaging techniques cannot peer into the dark and murky centers of dense-liquid jets, which has hindered scientists in their quest for a full understanding of liquid breakup in devices such as automobile fuel injectors. ...> Full Article


'Electrospray' Droplet Research Yields Surprising, Practical Results (1/13/2008)

'Electrospray' Droplet Research Yields Surprising, Practical ResultsChemical engineers are the first to mathematically describe precisely how droplets form when liquids are exposed to electric fields, an advance that could have applications in areas ranging from manufacturing to medical diagnostics. ...> Full Article


Mathematicians defy gravity (10/3/2007)

Mathematicians defy gravityDroplets of liquid have been shown to travel uphill, rather than sliding down as expected, when the surface they are on is vigorously shaken up and down. ...> Full Article
