Solving a Longstanding Mystery About Adhesive Wear
Despite its impact on the economy and health, the physics behind wear remains poorly understood.
New Material Could Make Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing Cleaner, Less Expensive
To find the best material for xenon and krypton separation, computational chemists screened 125,000 MOFs for their ability to trap the gases.
Algorithm Helps Compute Groundwater Levels from Satellite Data
Having a continuous map of deformation led to the discovery that there is a delay between when groundwater is pumped from an aquifer and when the ground sinks in response to water removal.
The Growing Role of Artificial Intelligence in Oil and Gas
Technologies have advanced as the steep drop in oil price has driven companies to look for innovative ways to improve efficiency.
Machine Learning Accelerates Discovery of New Materials
Finding new materials has traditionally been guided by trial and error. But with increasing chemical complexity, the combination possibilities are too large for such an approach to be practical.
