Difference between Conduction and Convection
Convection is the movement of heat by the actual motion of matter, whereas conduction is the transfer of heat energy by direct contact. Conduction occurs…
Microbarometer – Measure Air Pressure with High Precision
Microbarometers are highly sensitive barometers that can precisely measure air pressure. Ordinary barometers can only resolve in hectopascals (hPa) or millibars, whereas microbarometers can resolve…
Machine Learning is Applied to Atomistic Modeling in a New Framework
Northwestern University researchers have created a new framework that uses machine learning to improve the accuracy of interatomic potentials – the guiding rules that describe…
To Improve the Safety of Next-generation Reactors, Researchers Developed an Advance Model
Research reactors are a diverse group of reactor types that are not used to generate electricity. The primary function of research reactors is to provide…
Room-temperature operation of an Ultrathin Magnet is Possible
Scientists have developed an ultrathin magnet that can function at room temperature. The ultrathin magnet could pave the way for new applications in computing and…
Random Jiggling of Tiny Particles is Converted into Stored Energy by the Engine
Researchers have created a blazingly fast engine that runs on a new type of fuel – information. The random jiggling of a microscopic particle is…
Altimeter – a Device that Measures Altitude
An altimeter is a device that measures altitude—the distance a location is above sea level. Most altimeters are barometric, which means they calculate altitude by…
Difference between Velocity and Acceleration
Velocity and acceleration both use speed as a starting point in their measurements. Velocity and acceleration are the two key concepts that are always discussed…
Physics Graduate Says he’s going to Crack Immortality (Oh Yeah – and he’s 11)
Having high-achieving siblings can be tough. Every family gathering turns into a fight for which the child is more successful or smarter than whom and…
Improving Exotic Spin Interaction Laboratory Constraints
Prof. Du Jiangfeng, Prof. Rong Xing, and their colleagues from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Key Laboratory of Micromagnetic Resonance have set the most…
Scientists Devise a Method for Navigating a Difficult Uphill Climb
A group of scientists has discovered how heavy, motorized objects climb steep slopes—a mechanism that also mimics how rock climbers navigate inclines. The findings, published…
