The investigation team at NASA will now observe Dimorphos (Greek word meaning two-forms) using ground-based telescopes to confirm that the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART)’s impact altered the asteroid’s orbit around Didymos (Greek word meaning twin). Researchers expect the impact to shorten Dimorphos’ orbit by about 1%, or roughly 10 minutes; precisely measuring how much the asteroid was deflected is one of the primary purposes of the full-scale test.
Crucibles are containers made from refractory metals or ceramics, able to withstand high degrees of heat. They are temperature resistant as well as chemically and physically stable at high temperature. This enables you to melt substances, usually metals, in a controlled manner.
The August edition of Materials Inside focusses on hybrid and electric vehicles. We decided to head back to the BTCC and record the episode live by the trackside. Mark Daniels presents, interviewing Steve Brady and Peter Riches.
Microporous copper foam coated with a thin, hard layer of copper oxide provides outstanding performance as a low-profile heat sink in passive cooling environments.
The underlying microporous copper foam structure of the heat sinks has pore sizes between 300 and 600 microns and a relative density of around 37%, providing a much higher surface area than traditional copper foams. The black copper oxide that coats the interconnected pores of the thermally conductive copper foam dramatically increases emissivity and therefore passive cooling performance.
Over the decades, the automotive industry has come a long way. From maximum speeds and high-tech interiors to sustainable fuel alternatives. In this article, we’re going to be focusing on the materials that drive the industry.
To cover the fundamentals of materials science, first, let’s establish, “what is materials science?”. The University of Oxford describes the term as an interdisciplinary subject, spanning the physics and chemistry of matter, engineering applications and industrial manufacturing processes. The field also covers the design and discovery of new materials, as well as forensic engineering and failure analysis.
The Materials Inside podcast has recently had a facelift, with a new focus on bringing you industry insights, insider knowledge, and the materials expertise of the Goodfellow team.
Our team is the beating heart of the company. Every employee brings something unique to the table and makes their own impact on Goodfellow’s overall success. Our Meet the Team series shines a light on our individuals, celebrating what they do for the company and who they are outside the business. This week, we’re speaking to Dr Aphrodite Tomou.
