Among all available materials, diamond has the optimal characteristics with
respect to hardness, thermal conductivity, light transmission wavelength range,
and chemical stability. Furthermore, as a semiconducting material, diamond shows...

Abstract :
In case of a canister failure in a deep bedrock repository for nuclear fuel,
the release of radiotoxic nuclides to the groundwater will depend on the
chemical environment near the fuel surface. Due to the presence of large...

In a blown-up image from a scanning tunneling microscope, it looks just like
an endless sheet of chicken wire: a simple flat sheet made up of a lattice of
hexagons. But this nanoscopic material called graphene, first generally
acknowledged...

University of Utah scientists devised a new way to find miners trapped by
cave-ins. The method involves installing iron plates and sledgehammers at
regular intervals inside mines, and sensitive listening devices on the ground...
