Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder. Evidence of this was gathered over the past sixty years in meteorite ...

Formula 1's governing body, the FIA, has announced a resolution to the sport's regulatory row over engine compression ratios, with a tweak to the regulations set for June 1 and a further change in ...

A thin sheet of nylon does not look like much on its own. But in lab tests, a film made by researchers at RMIT University kept generating electricity after being folded, stretched, and even run over ...

As global energy demand surges—driven by AI-hungry data centers, advanced manufacturing, and electrified transportation—researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory have unveiled a ...

Apart from the very curious, not many people ask why diesel engines, compared to gasoline, run higher compression ratios. The argument is reasonably straightforward and starts with fuel ...

Running a single mile — at about a 10-minute pace — consists of 1,700 steps. And each one of those steps produces ground reaction forces of about two and a half times your body weight. And you know ...

If you are anything like me, your wardrobe is packed to the max with pairs of leggings. But not all leggings are created equal, and each one has their given purpose. I have my favorite pair of ...

The unit-cell dimensions and crystal structure of kyanite at various pressures up to 4.56 GPa were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The bulk modulus is 193(1) GPa, assuming K' = 4.0 ...

Structural and volume compressibility data for reedmergnerite, NaBSi3O8, were obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at pressures up to 4.7 GPa. The bulk modulus was determined to be 69.8(5) GPa ...
