PROF. MARTINI describes his diffusion figures as being “both new and singular.” In the Phil. Mag. for June and November, 1864, I have described and figured various examples of what I call “the ...

Did you know that science is happening all around you, even when you are cooking? Have you ever wondered how pasta noodles go from hard and crunchy to soft and ready to eat? You might think that the ...

A small gold oven sent to Russia's MIR space station may give scientists valuable insights into diffusive transport in liquids, a fundamental physical process that is so little understood that there ...

If you need to create a high vacuum, there are basically two options: turbomolecular pumps and diffusion pumps.

Physicists have found that some liquid metals which appear to be non-magnetic -- such as mercury, aluminium, gallium and lead -- actually contain magnetic moments that appear and disappear on ...

Significant liquid-structure theory has been used to calculate the transport properties of the alkali metals. Unlike previous calculations, the volume and temperature dependence of the solid-like ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A substrate does not have to be solid to compute. It is possible to make a computer purely from a liquid. I demonstrate this using a variety ...

Every now and then, scientists need to control the process of mixing liquids in vessels so small that the thinnest needle or even a hair wouldn't fit in there. At the same time, controlling the ...

After several years of developing the theoretical ideas, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers have validated multiple novel predictions about the fundamental mechanism of transport of ...
