Thanks to the "gumstick" M.2 format, SSDs have been shrinking—and getting a lot faster, too. Here's how to buy the right M.2 SSD, along with deep-dive reviews of today's top models. I have been ...

The erosion threshold of sand-mud mixtures is investigated by analyzing the momentum balance of a sand particle or a mud parcel in the mixture bed surface, and a formula for the critical shear stress ...

Around 1500 people said "say no" to the fast-track project by McCallum Bros to mine sand from Bream Bay over 35 years. Video / Nigel Yellowlees A beach-based protest has energised the community ...

Along with quantum mechanics, Einstein's special theory of relativity serves as the basis of the Standard Model of particle physics. At its heart is a concept called Lorentz symmetry: experimental ...

The solids dealt with are almost exclusively metals. The volume is divided into four parts of unequal length under the headings : "Creep and Plastic Flow" (70 pp.), "Grain Boundaries and ...

Solid-state transformers made with silicon carbide promise to change that. “The solid-state transformer platform is multi-port by design; it’s modular,” said Brian Dow, Amperesand’s new ...

Some theorists suggest that a particle called the “graviton” is associated with gravity in the same way as the photon is associated with the electromagnetic force. If gravitons exist, it should be ...

sea sand and silica sand had similar sphericity and roundness, except for the difference in particle size and chemical composition. Moreover, the fracture energy test revealed that the matrix fracture ...
