Rice University engineers who mimic atom-scale processes to make them big enough to see have modeled how shear influences grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials.
That the boundaries can change so readily was not entirely a surprise to the researchers, who used spinning arrays of magnetic particles to view what they suspect happens at the interface between misaligned crystal domains.

The new owner plans to use CPS as a launch pad for acquisitions in the building services sector.
“Several active acquisition discussions are currently underway,” HIG said.
CPS, formerly Cambridge Piped Services, provides installation and maintenance services across heating, cooling, ventilation and electrical systems to clients in the healthcare, life sciences, defence and education end-markets. The existing management team of
The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has launched 11 short training courses on leadership and management.
The training provides support in areas such as leading and organising teams, handling difficult situations, and problem solving. It has been developed in consultation with the construction industry.
Students can focus on one module as a short course, or take a pick-and-mix approach by
A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led research team has solved a longstanding mystery surrounding strontium titanate, an unusual metal oxide that can be an insulator, a semiconductor, or a metal. The research provides insight for future applications of this material to electronic devices and data storage.
The paper is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS),
The City of Chicago has signed a $422.2 million agreement with electricity supplier Constellation NewEnergy Inc. to have all city amenities sourced by renewable energy by 2025.
In collaboration with the city, Swift Current Energy is currently developing the new solar generation installation that will eventually be used to power Chicago’s airports, government buildings, streetlights and more. According to Illinois
