Better understanding of steel fracturing
Researchers from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), Spain, visualized step-by-step and on a microscopic level how certain steels fracture when extreme loads are applied to them.
Gentle shake creates elusive roton in superfluid
Scientists discovered in 1937 that liquid helium-4, when chilled to extremely low temperatures, becomes a superfluid that could leak through glass, overflow its containers, or eternally gush like a fountain.
Improved sintering zone boosts quality of MIM parts
Advances by Linde LLC and Megamet Solid Metals Inc. show that a best practice in the control of the carbon potential in the sintering zone can significantly improve the quality of metal-injection molded parts.
