Most solid materials we rely on, from steel, to plastics and ceramics, are designed to have specific properties. Whether a material is soft and flexible, or stiff and tough depends on how molecules ...

New research has identified how liquid-like materials can change into a solid-like state without the addition of extra particles or changes in volume. Liquid-like materials with particles in, known as ...

A series of experiments determined the equipment needed for finding the degree of sedimentation or sag in various drilling fluids at a rig site. The design makes use of equipment already specified in ...

The Fluid-Structures-Materials (FSM) seminars provide a platform for AMReC faculty, graduate students, and visiting researchers within the FSM focus area, to share and discuss their research with ...

It's hard to believe that a tiny crack could take down a gigantic metal structure. But sometimes bridges collapse, pipelines rupture and fuselages detach from airplanes due to hard-to-detect corrosion ...

A surprisingly hardy reservoir of rock left over from just after Earth’s formation still lurks deep inside the planet, according to a new analysis of superdeep diamonds. Fluid trapped inside these ...
