Calcium Silicate Hydrates Calcium silicate hydrates (CSH or C-S-H) are the main products of the hydration of Portland cement and are primarily responsible for the strength of cement-based…
Researchers Record the Formation of Ultrafast Laser Pulses in real time Scientists have captured the moment a laser “comes to life”—and what they found challenges long-held beliefs. Using a special technique to film laser light in…
A Synthetic Protein that Mimics Natural Movement Proteins catalyze life by changing shape when they interact with other molecules. The result is a muscle twitching, the perception of light, or a bit…
Calcium Pyrophosphate Calcium pyrophosphate refers to any member of a series of inorganic compound with the formula Ca2P2O7(H2O)n. It is a calcium salt of pyrophosphate, often found…
Future Aircraft’s Cryogenic Hydrogen Supply and Storage System Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have designed a liquid hydrogen storage and delivery system that could help make zero-emission aviation a reality. Their…
Protein from Insects inhibits Bacterial Infection Scientists in Australia have developed a smart, bacteria-repelling coating based on resilin the ultra-elastic protein that gives fleas their legendary jumping power. When applied to…
Monosodium Tartrate Monosodium tartrate or sodium bitartrate is a sodium acid salt of tartaric acid. Its chemical formula is NaHC₄H₄O₆. As a food additive it is used…
Engineers create Self-healing Muscles for Robots A University of Nebraska-Lincoln engineering team is another step closer to developing soft robotics and wearable systems that mimic the ability of human and plant…
Industrial Laser Procedures are simplified by Machine Learning Laser-based processes for metals are considered to be particularly versatile in industry. Lasers can be used, for example, to precision-weld components together or produce more…
Disufenton Sodium Disufenton sodium (Cerovive, OKN-007, NXY-059, HPN-07) is a free radical trapping nitrone-based antioxidant compound that has been under development for several medical conditions. It is…
Forecasting Landslides beneath the Surface before they Occur Below ocean wind farms, oil rigs and other offshore installations are mammoth networks of underwater structures, including pipelines, anchors, risers and cables, that are essential…
MRI Scans may be able to identify potentially Fatal Heart Conditions Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the heart could help to detect a life-threatening heart disease and enable clinicians to better predict which patients are…
