Testing technique cracks metal failure mechanisms
A new method for testing metals at the microscopic scale entails rapidly imposing repetitive loads while recording how ensuing damage evolves into cracks.
Fluorescence can "see" what you can't
Fluorescence targets selected compounds in liquids. Find out the basics of fluorescence here.
The time to engineer a nuclear clock ticks closer
New measurements brighten prospects for developing nuclear clocks, which are more accurate than existing atomic clocks.
Study: Urban stormwater quality improves with green infrastructure
Field research examined the influence of low impact development systems on urban stormwater quality at the catchment scale.
Killing COVID-19...on elevators
An elevator manufacturer has developed technology for killing and preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus in cabs.
Study: Nuclear energy can raise carbon emissions in poorer countries
Researchers from the University of Sussex Business School and ISM International School of Management found that nuclear energy doesn’t necessarily lead to lower CO2 emissions.
Shrinking Raman sensors for faster chemical analysis
The instrument is designed to replace bulky benchtop equipment with a tiny photonic chip and to provide high-throughput and real-time chemical characterization.
