This study investigates the erosion behavior of Al–SiC and Al–WC metal-based composites in a solid particle impingement environment developed through powder metallurgy. Micro-sized powders of SiC and ...

One of the biggest issues facing the solid-state lithium-based batteries we all depend upon is of the performance of the anode; the transport of lithium ions and minimization of dendrite formation are ...

The present study aims to investigate the hydrodynamic behavior of gas–solid flow in a pseudo-two-dimensional cold circulation fluidized bed specifically designed to mimic a plane cut of an industrial ...

Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a simple change in temperature. Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker ...

Lacquers, paint, concrete—and even ketchup or orange juice: Suspensions are widespread in industry and everyday life. By a suspension, materials scientists mean a liquid in which tiny, insoluble solid ...

Phonons are sound particles or quantized vibrations of atoms in solid materials. The Debye model, a theory introduced by physicist Peter Debye in 1912, describes the contribution of phonons to the ...

Almost everyone has experienced the frustration of trying to get ketchup out of a bottle. At first, nothing happens. The ...

Many quantum effects can be observed only when a small number of particles is studied—individual atoms, molecules or photons, ...
