First Full 3-D View Of Cracks Growing In Steel Jul 23, 2008
ScienceDaily (July 22, 2008) A team of researchers from the University of Manchester, the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) in Lyon (France) and the ESRF has revealed how a growing crack interacts with the 3D crystal structure of stainless steel. By using a new grain mapping technique it was possible to determine the internal 3D structure of the material without destroying the sample. (Science Daily)
Pot Boiler: A New, Faster Way to Heat Water Jul 13, 2008
But researchers report in the engineering journal Small that water in pots coated with tiny copper rods just 450 nanometers tall and 40 to 50 nanometers around (one nanometer is 40 millionths of an inch) may speed the process by creating more air pockets and, so, more bubbles. Mechanical engineer Nikhil Koratkar of the in Troy, N.Y., and his colleagues discovered this by coating the bottom of a copper pot with a layer of copper nanorods. (Scientific American)
Capitol Records fears the big scratch Jun 22, 2008
A 1-inch air gap separates the outer wall from the studios' inner wall, which in turn stands on a floor that "floats on a rubber-tiled, 3-inch concrete slab. This upper slab floats on a layer of cork, which rests on the 6-inch concrete foundation slab," the engineering journal report said. The studios' interior walls were built with shutter-like baffles.

The danger of a 'dignified' exit from Iraq Nov 21, 2006
From an engineering journal, we know that before the end of 2003, several billion dollars had already been sunk into them. We know that in early 2006, the major ones, already mega-structures, were still being built up into a state of advanced permanency. (Asia Times Online)
STEVEN MILLOY: Blunting the greenhouse panic Oct 18, 2006
Just last week, Mr. Svensmark and other researchers from the Centre for Sun-Climate Research at the Danish National Space Centre published a paper in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A -- the mathematical, physical sciences and engineering journal of the venerable Royal Society of London -- announcing that they had experimentally verified the physical mechanism by which cosmic rays affect cloud cover. In the experiment, cosmic radiation was passed through a large reaction chamber containing... (Washington Times)

It's time to restrict the use of Tasers Aug 22, 2006
Earlier this year, a peer-reviewed forensic engineering journal published a study that tested a taser and concluded that it discharged current far more powerful than TI acknowledged powerful enough to cause fatal heart disrhythmias. In May, a biomedical engineering professor reported that tasers caused the hearts of healthy pigs to stop beating, contradicting earlier TI-sponsored studies. (Boulder Colorado Daily, CO)
