The system provides «precision measurements of material motion that here relate directly to oxygen levels,» she says, enabling researchers to measure exactly how the oxygen is cycling in and
out of the metal oxide.
Not exact matches
«This work suggests that not only does the formation
of the
oxide lower the surface tension
of the liquid
metal, but that it also creates compressive stresses — the opposite
of tension — that help the
metal spread
out and form fractals,» Dickey says.
The liquid
metal flows
out of the
oxide shell, fuses together and solidifies.
This computational effort carved
out specific regions
of the vast
metal oxides materials space, which could be rapidly evaluated using high - throughput experimentation synthesis and screening techniques.
A: The way the fuel cycle is done now is: you mine uranium; you purify the
metal; you convert it to
oxide; you put it in a reactor in the form
of pellets; it stays in there for about three years; you take it
out, and you try to find someplace to put it.
Oh yes, the smartphone this time around would be curved
out of a compound called Graphene
Oxide and a Liquid
Metal 2.0 structural frame.
