Rubber “exoskeleton” lets liquid metal structures retain their shape

Imagine if there were a metallic device that could be transported all squished down into a compact ball, but that would automatically “bloom” out into its useful form when heated. Well, that may soon be possible, thanks to a newly developed liquid meta… Continue reading Rubber “exoskeleton” lets liquid metal structures retain their shape

It might seem like a paradox, but coal might hold the answer to solving carbon emission problems. The key isn’t burning it, but creating it using carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.  While this has always been possible in theory, high temperatures make it difficult in practice. However, a recent paper …read more

Earth’s Core Is Squirting a ‘Jet Stream’ of Liquid Metal Under the Surface

Scientists found it by taking a satellite “x-ray” of the globe. Continue reading Earth’s Core Is Squirting a ‘Jet Stream’ of Liquid Metal Under the Surface
