Freezing: A Phenomenon That 'Jumps'
The freezing of suspensions
of particles is not always a
uniform phenomenon; in
certain conditions it leads
to a modification of the
redistribution of particles
and the growth of crystals.

Engineer Discovers Why Particles Disperse on Liquids
November 18, 2009 Even if you are not a cook, you might have wondered why a pinch of flour (or any small particles) thrown into a bowl of water will disperse in a dramatic fashion, radiating outward as if it was ... > full story -
Using Darwin in Helping to Define the Biological Essentiality of Silicon and Aluminium
November 17, 2009 In this year, 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of ‘On the Origin of Species’ a UK scientist has used Darwin’s seminal ... > full story -
Researchers Find Reliable, Mess-Free Way to Grow Graphene
November 17, 2009 Single layers of carbon atoms, called graphene sheets, are lightweight, strong, electrically semi-conducting -- and notoriously difficult and expensive to make. Now, scientists have invented a simple ... > full story -
Predicting the Effectiveness of Metal Catalysts
