Each year, the United States spends almost a trillion dollars trying to combat metallic corrosion, an electrochemical reaction which occurs when metals oxidize and begin to rust. Now, a team of researchers led by the Ohio State University (OSU) has estimated how much corrosion is gradually worsening global carbon emissions. Although earlier research has already estimated the economic […]
A Missouri S&T research team was recently awarded a $2 million grant from the United States Department of Energy to research technologies to improve the operating efficiency of electric arc furnaces (EAFs) used for steelmaking. “It takes a tremendous amount of power to run an EAF, and we are looking for new ways to […]

Across the world, some 80 million people suffer from glaucoma, a number that’s expected to swell to 111 million by 2040. Today, an estimated three million have been diagnosed in the United States. But common as it may be, glaucoma is a formidable affliction. It takes root with an accumulation of fluid in the eyes, […]
A fluid bed results when a gas is passed upward through a bed of small solid particles at a rate fast enough to lift these particles and to create turbulence. This motion of particles, which are usually made of aluminum oxide or silica oxide, is similar to that of a fluid.
