Last Sunday night saw the making of Raku pottery and handles being made by the pulling technique. As in previous series, we saw some fantastic and novel colours and decoration produced using this technique. Why is the technique not so widely used to produce the tableware and ornamental ware...
Seeing the Plasma Edge of Fusion Experiments in New Ways with Artificial Intelligence. MIT researchers are testing a simplified turbulence theory’s ability to model complex plasma phenomena using a novel machine-learning technique. #News #Fusion #Energy #MachineLearning #Plasma
PPPL Unravels a Puzzle to Speed the Development of Fusion Energy. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPL) have developed an effective computational method to simulate the crazy-quilt movement of free electrons during experimental efforts to...
Improving Plastic Waste Separation with Magnetic Fields. In 2018, 61.8 million metric tons of plastic waste was produced in the European Union with only 9.4 million metric ton recycled. This constitutes a huge amount of plastic waste, which rapidly needs to be addressed. One solution is to turn...
3D printing with silicone can be tricky, with current resins offering slow print times and relatively low resolution. Also, current resins can only be used on specially customised printers, and that can be expensive. CSIRO ( The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation ) has...
This is interesting. A group of polymers across several members of the oldest meteorite class, the CV3 type, shed light on space chemistry as early as 12.5 billion years ago. Here is the article. #News #Polymers #Meteorite #SolarSystem
Machine Learning Aids in Materials Design. A long-held goal by chemists across many industries, including energy, pharmaceuticals, energetics, food additives and organic semiconductors, is to imagine the chemical structure of a new molecule and be able to predict how it will function for a...
More Sustainable Mortars and Concrete with Optimal Thermal and Mechanical Efficiency. Researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Basque Country (UPV/EHU) are studying and optimising the mechanical and thermal properties of new mortars and concrete made using...
