Neutrons reveal ‘atomic rings’ and help predict glass performance

Leave a Comment / Technology / By

Researchers found that understanding the stability of the rings of atoms in glass materials can help them predict the performance of glass products. This capability is important because the most widely used glass is silicate glass, which consists of different sizes of atomic rings connected in three dimensions. ​Researchers found that understanding the stability of …

Education and information can increase the acceptance of climate policies

Leave a Comment / News / By

An important question for policymakers worldwide is how to make climate and environmental policies acceptable among the populations. A new study sheds light on the preferences in five East African countries. The study shows, among others, that education and information about how revenues from carbon taxes are used are important factors. ​An important question for …

Discovering the physics behind 300-year-old firefighting methods

Leave a Comment / Technology / By

Inspired by a 1725 fire engine that pumped water at larger distances and higher speeds than previously possible, authors analyzed the pressure chamber’s Windkessel effect to capture the physics behind this widely used, enduring technology. They compared the initial state of the chamber, the rate at which bucket brigades could pour water in (volumetric inflow), …
