The outer skin is formed of five different types of panel; the inner skin of fixed perforated louvres, laid horizontally. The side-walls were assembled as a series of lattice towers; the lowest ...

Metallic three-dimensional lattice structures harbor different mechanical properties. This article considers research published in the journal Materials, that analyzes the energy absorption properties ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Lanthanide dopants play an important role in desirable phase transformations of aluminum oxide (alumina) in order to achieve optimized physical and chemical properties. For ...

Aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3), also known as alumina, corundum, sapphire, or ruby, is one of the best insulators used in a wide range of applications: in electronic components, as a support material for ...

Researchers have developed a lattice structure capable of absorbing a wide range of vibrations while also being useful as a load-bearing component -- for example, in propellers, rotors and rockets. It ...

Structural analysis of lattice transmission structures can be a time-consuming task. Fortunately, many tools and software aids have been developed to streamline the process. However, users must employ ...

In what may prove to be a significant boon for industry, separating mixtures of liquids or gasses has just become considerably easier. Using a new process they describe as "reverse fossilization," ...
