Abstract: The formation of gels is a complex issue that has to be resolved to investigate manifold synthetic and natural materials (cement, geomaterials for radioactive waste sealing, minerals). Gels are amorphous phases that contain water. Therefore the gelation depends on pH of the initia...

The way streets and buildings are arranged makes a big difference in how heat builds up, study shows.When you deform a soft material such as Silly Putty, its properties change depending on how fast you stretch and squeeze it. If you leave the putty in a small glass, it will eventually spread out like a liquid. If you pull it slowly, it will thin and droop like viscous taffy. And if you quickly yank on it...

Abstract: Since the discovery of ultrafast lasers in the 90’s, pulsed lasers have been used to excite and detect ultrasound with corresponding frequencies up to the THz range. At this ultimate frequency range, the ultrasonic wavelength is on the order of a couple of nanometers only, that makes them su...
