A new study by scientists from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has used computer modeling to rank the factors responsible for the Larsen C ice shelf melt according to their severity. The review is an ...

Scrap melting is a pivotal process in modern steelmaking, where recycled steel serves both as an iron source and as a coolant for exothermic reactions in converters. This process is governed by the ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- In 1972, physicists J. Michael Kosterlitz and David Thouless published a groundbreaking theory of how phase changes could occur in two-dimensional materials.

Snapshots of the skyrmion lattice during the melting: an ordered skyrmion lattice on the left while the lattice structure has vanished on the right. What occurs during the melting process in ...

Performance requirements on alloys are becoming more stringent for end users in industries such as aerospace, medical, power generation, oil and gas, specialty automotive, and trucks. These ...

First patented in 1931 by Siemens und Halske Company, Germany, cold crucible induction melting is predicated on the principles of inductively heating material inside a crucible while cooling the ...

Materials may exist in the Solid, Liquid, and Gas phase. The (p,v,T) conditions determine which phase or phases are in thermodynamic equilibrium. For certain ranges of (p.v,T) more than one phase can ...

A new study helps to reconcile a Nobel Prize-winning theory with experiments on how solids actually melt. In 1972, physicists J. Michael Kosterlitz and David Thouless published a groundbreaking theory ...
