In landlocked South Dakota, hundreds of miles and 1,600 feet of elevation from the nearest ocean, South Dakota State University professor Francis Ting studies the structure of breaking waves like those that pound the world`s coastlines. http://www.physorg.com/news154275025.html Technology Thu, 19 Feb 2009 14:11:14 EST news154275025 Engineers and food scientists are teaming up to develop a new type of gelled fuel the consistency of orange marmalade designed to improve the safety, performance and range of rockets for space and military applications. http://www.physorg.com/news151767431.html Chemistry Wed, 21 Jan 2009 13:39:57 EST news151767431 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at MIT recently found an elegant solution to a sticky scientific problem in basic fluid mechanics: why water doesn't soak into soil at an even rate, but instead forms what look like fingers of fluid flowing downward. http://www.physorg.com/news148225444.html Physics Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:44:04 EST news148225444 (PhysOrg.com) -- As a car accelerates up and down a hill then slows to follow a hairpin turn, the airflow around it cannot keep up and detaches from the vehicle. This aerodynamic separation creates additional drag that slows the car and forces the engine to work harder. The same phenomenon affects airplanes, boats, submarines, and even your golf ball. http://www.physorg.com/news141572259.html Physics Thu, 25 Sep 2008 14:37:39 EST news141572259
