Individuals who deal with the health of animals on a regular basis are keenly interested in understanding the wear processes that affect the teeth of herbivores. Understanding these wear processes will potentially lead to the […]
Wine tasting has been elevated to an art form. The experts describe wine tasting as involving four sensory characteristics. The first sense (and most obvious) is taste. When tasting wine, you pay attention to the […]
Industries around the world would welcome new, improved engineered surfaces that included reversibly switching interfacial properties, including the ability to repel liquids and wettability. Wettability is the ability of a liquid to maintain contact with […]
When someone hears the word diamond the first thing that comes to mind is often something related to jewelry. However, diamonds are actually mostly used for industrial purposes: 75% of the world’s supply of natural […]
A team of physicists at Purdue University has created the fastest spinning object ever made, taking them much closer to being able to measure the mysterious friction forces inside vacuum. This object is a small […]
The scientific theory of plate tectonics (a word derived from the Greek word tectonicus which means ‘pertains to building’) describes the large-scale motion of the seven or eight major plates (the number depends on how […]
Heriberto Perez, a researcher at the UPV/EHU’s Faculty of Engineering-Bilbao, has developed behavior models able to predict the future deterioration of roads. The models focus on two different aspects, the international roughness index (IRI) and […]
Traditional oil analysis, also called oil condition monitoring (OCM) analyzes samples for abnormal wear, condition of the fluid, and presence of contaminates. The presence of any of these issues indicates that action needs to be […]
Often, when an individual hears the word diamond, a vision of love and an engagement ring is what first comes to mind. If the first picture is not an engagement ring, then it is typically […]
The Industrial Fluid Properties Simulation Challenge is an open competition designed to push improvements in the field of molecular modeling and ensure simulations are relevant to real world industrial applications. The organizing committee of the […]
