This paper introduces a theoretical model to qualitatively describe the mechanisms involved during laser trimming of SiCr thin film resistors. The model was developed to address the problems ...

Artem Ryzhykov was shooting a territorial defence force in Kyiv. When Russia attacked, he put down his camera to join the ...

A team of engineers at MIT has developed an exciting new device that can collect clean drinking water straight from the air — even in some of the driest places on Earth. This invention could ...

I am well-qualified to show the BBC and production company Bad Wolf the way forward – because I am not a Doctor Who fan. I will not stick it out through thick and thin, I won’t get excited by the ...

Normally, surface tension makes it impossible to stretch the water out to make a thin film. Soap reduces surface tension and allows a film to form. Because of surface tension, a soap film always pulls ...

Water vapor permeation (WVP) WVP was measured at 25 °C with thin films obtained by compression molding in accordance with ASTM E96. The Payne permeability cup containing 4 g of distilled water was ...

We’ve asked home maintenance professionals for their tips on how to insulate windows to keep cold out. These insulating techniques are highly recommended even if you don’t hav ...

The solar film developer is raising £30 million in funding to “revolutionise” the global solar industry through lightweight roll-to-roll technology that is not reliant on rare earth minerals.

Bubble juice is a mixture of soapy water or if you want to get sciencey, it’s a mixture of water, a surfactant (the soap) and a polymer (in our case sugar or corn syrup). The polymer helps the bubbles ...

We investigated the transient evolution of gas bubble size distribution during hydrate formation and observed three distinct stages: a) nucleation and hydrate film formation, b) rapid bubble break-up, ...
