Observing the behavior of the particles in the composite metals helps to understand the mechanism of losing its strength and ductility, which makes possible to design the composites metals with higher ...

Figure 1: Schematic of the shape transformations observed during cooling of emulsion droplets of pure hydrocarbons in water, in the presence of 1.5 wt% surfactant. Our experiments show that the ...

Substances can exist in three states of matter - solid, liquid and gas. All substances are made from particles, and the forces between the particles are different in solids, liquids and gases. The ...

Researchers have developed a method to shape solid materials using a corn starch solution. The process offers a potential technique for material cutting and manufacturing processes. New York ...

Introduction Have you ever poured sand out of a bucket or cereal out of a box and noticed it seems to flow' a lot like water? This is because both sand and cereal are granular materials. That means ...

Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald share the 2015 award for the discovery that neutrino particles can change “flavor”—and, unexpectedly, have mass Finding some of nature’s weirdest particles has ...

From the pots and pans on the stove to the wires suspending bridges, metal composites need to account for a variety of strength, malleability, and durability to meet human need. Now, researchers from ...

Solids, liquids and gases. In a solid like this brick, the particles are regularly arranged touching their neighbours and move only by vibrating. This explains why solids have a fixed shape. In a ...
