The researchers identified a library of synthetic polymers and screened them for their ability to induce biofilm formation in E. coli, a bacterium that is one of the most widely studied ...

During the injection molding process, harsh conditions (high temperature, high speed) and deterioration of plastic additives can release high volumes of decomposition gases. Mold deposits, gas burns, ...

Scientists developed a new photopolymerisation reaction controlled antagonistically by two different colours of light. Specifically, one light beam promotes the formation of the polymeric material, ...

When enjoying a cappuccino, hardly anyone thinks about how or why the bubbles created in the foamed milk would be simulated with a supercomputer. Nor are coffee lovers likely to be aware that this ...

Ice formation on propeller blades or aircraft wings can cause major problems. It can limit flight time, increase costs and ...

This is a reprint of a paper by Eugenia Hanfmann, PhD., of Worcester State Hospital and Jacob Kasanin, M.D., of the Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. It originally appeared in The Journal ...

Researchers have devised a novel method for forming virtual power plants to provide renewable energy production in the UK. In the last decade, small and distributed energy resources (DERs), like wind ...
