Understanding the relationship between plasticity of muddy soil and earth pressure can be crucial to maintaining tunnel stability and predicting ground behavior during earth pressure balance (EPB) ...

Infrastructures often suffer severe damage due to geotechnical hazards of both natural kinds such as floods or earthquakes and man-made ones like underground construction work and excavations. The ...

Computer-aided simulation and optimisation methods offer comprehensive possibilities for analysing and improving thermoelectric generators (TEG). Our technical expertise and access to extensive ...

Two computational scientists at Freie Universität Berlin are changing the way large proteins modeled inside computers by combining machine learning, an area of artificial intelligence, with ...

Granular materials, such as agricultural products, solids, soil particles, gravel, coal, and rock, consist of grains in contact with surrounding air pores. The mechanical behaviour of granular ...

Team from U.S. Department of Energy-funded Quantum Science Center demonstrates quantum computers can perform material simulation that many previously believed to be beyond current quantum capabilities ...
