Researchers have made a significant step in the study of a new class of high-temperature superconductors: creating ...

To address these challenges, engineers use temperature-resistant materials and flexible designs that allow bearings to expand ...

Through a multi-university collaboration, researchers have discovered a new, solid lubricating mechanism that can reduce friction in machinery at extremely high temperatures, well beyond the breakdown ...

The prisms were constructed from concrete or ceramic blocks (hollow core or solid) and mortars with low strength and high entrained air content. Three types of mortars were tested, one dry pre-mixed ...

Sand is the most abundant ingredient in the mix. The powdered cement and lime are the glue that holds the sand together and allows the mortar to bond to each brick (or concrete block, stone or other ...
