| Model helps size boulders to protect buildings from vehicle impacts Posted: 05 Jan 2015 12:10 PM PST Boulders can be effective barriers to protect embassies and other buildings from large vehicle impacts, and a simple model is sufficient to select the right size boulder for the job, according to a team of researchers. |
| Green walls, effective acoustic insulation Posted: 05 Jan 2015 09:59 AM PST The benefits provided by green walls has been the focus of recent research. A scientist has concluded that walls comprising plants offer great potential for absorbing noise and could be used as acoustic insulation. |
| Freshmen-level chemistry solves solubility mystery of graphene oxide films Posted: 05 Jan 2015 09:59 AM PST For many years, researchers did not understand why graphene oxide remained stable in water. Now a research team finds that it's due to a common contaminant introduced during filtration. |
