General Electric and partners BP and marine engineering company Oceaneering have jointly adapted existing medical x-ray machines to crawl along undersea pipelines looking for cracks or other problems. GE is of course a world leader in ...
In our daily lives we tend to think of electrical conductivity as largely static: Copper is a good choice for conduction; clay is not. But heat up that copper wire, and electron conduction slows. Give a flake of that ceramic a good squeeze, ...
(Phys.org) —You use crystals everyday: sugar in your coffee, the active ingredient in hand warmers, maybe a diamond stud in your ear. A crystal is built of atoms arranged in a repeat pattern in all three dimensions. X-rays are good ...
