The secret to how steel hardens and shape-memory alloys snap into place lies in rapid, atomic-scale shifts that scientists ...

A clever method from Caltech researchers now makes it possible to unravel complex electron-lattice interactions, potentially transforming how we understand and design quantum and electronic materials.

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and ...

A very high-resolution, microwave microstrip-based planar resonator sensor is analyzed and presented for non-contact material sensing. The proposed sensor is an active feedback loop-assisted planar ...

This work gives sequence to the study on the measurement of the electrostatic charges in aerosols. The particle charge classifier developed for this purpose and presented in the previous paper (Marra ...

The volume ratio in the total solid particle mixture is an important parameter indicating the characteristics of particulate mixtures. Therefore, a simple measurement method is desirable. In this ...

The change of the fine particle group’s concentration almost has no effect on its penetration performance under a fixed diameter and density of fine particles. The microstructural characteristics of ...

Particle breakage. Mechanical forces in the conveying line can lead to particle attrition (wearing away of solids through contact). A bulk solid’s ability to resist breakage can be quantified through ...

Silica-based gels are often mentioned because of their viscoelasticity, but very little work has really reflected this competing relationship between restorative and destructive properties dominated ...
