The Energy Blog
I just jointed iMechanica. Great blog site! I thought to bring to your attention another blog that I enjoy, run by a retired engineer, on renewable energy issues. Here is the link:...

The discovery of a new material type, graphene and extremely thin platelets of graphite, was discussed in several articles from my research group published in 1999:Lu XK, Huang H, Nemchuk N, and Ruoff...
View ArticleA new type of bubble raft--challenge for clever students
17 years ago, while a postdoc at IBM meant to be doing other things, I thought about the following. Then recently I visited Ali Argon at MIT, and we discussed conventional bubble rafts and how useful...
View ArticleTetrahedral: The key to life on Earth?
It seems to me that tetrahedral bonding is responsible for life on earth. One might leap to the (reasonable) conclusion that I am referring to the element carbon and its ability to form sp3 bonds....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_HabakkukI was surprised several years ago when delving into the literature to not find any references about addition of nanoparticles to ice, to study their impact...

What boundary conditions would allow failure to occur in the gauge length and not at or near the clamps? One is not allowed (in suggesting ways of overcoming stress concentation at the clamps) to...
