Research puts new wrinkle in study of materials folding under pressure (5/16/2008)

Research puts new wrinkle in study of materials folding under pressureScientists have explained, for the first time, the physics that governs how thin materials at scales millions of times different in thickness make the transition from wrinkles into folds under compression. ...> Full Article



From cartilage to fruit-fly wings, physicist studies 'squishiness' in everyday things (4/20/2008)

From cartilage to fruit-fly wings, physicist studies 'squishiness' in everyday thingsFiguring out the physics of how cartilage moves, is compressed, twisted and otherwise deformed to eventually be replaced by better, longer-lasting artificial cartilage is goal of projects ...> Full Article

Squeezed Crystals Deliver More Volts Per Jolt (2/1/2008)

A discovery by scientists at the Carnegie Institution has opened the door to a new generation of piezoelectric materials that can convert mechanical strain into electricity and vice versa, potentially cutting costs and boosting performance in myriad applications ranging from medical diagnostics to green energy technologies. ...> Full Article


Magnetism loses under pressure (1/30/2008)

Magnetism loses under pressureScientists have discovered that the magnetic strength of magnetite-the most abundant magnetic mineral on Earth-declines drastically when put under pressure. Researchers from the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory, together with colleagues at the Advanced Photon Source of Argonne National Laboratory, have found that when magnetite is subjected to pressures between 120,000 and 160,000 times atmospheric pressure its magnetic strength declines by half ...> Full Article


Scientists use unique diamond anvils to view oxide glass structures under pressure (11/22/2007)

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have used a uniquely constructed perforated diamond cell to investigate oxide glass structures at high pressures in unprecedented detail. ...> Full Article
