molybdenum

PhD student will be engaged in a research project of National Science Centre (NCN) carried out in the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research PAS, Poland on 'Intelligent design of 2D nanostructures based on molybdenum'.  The materials with a 2D atomic structure (flat, one layer) have drawn attention of researchers for years. The practical applications of graphene sheets, nanotubes can be observed in many areas from electronic industry up to civil engineering (e.g. concrete with nanotubes fillers).

Dear Colleagues,

Please see the link for a recent article published in Scripta Materialia. In this article, active cross-slip behavior of screw <c + a> dislocations in Mg is observed, and the plausibility of <c + a> dislocation slip on new planes {-12-11} that have hitherto not been considered possible, is shown for the first time.

Thanks to Elsevier’s sharing policy, this article has 50 days' free access, and anyone can read and download it before August 30, 2018.

Dear Colleagues,

This is a gentle reminder that abstracts are due on July 23d for the mini-symposium entitled “Mechanical Metamaterials(12-31)” at ASME IMECE 2018 (https://www.asme.org/events/imece) to be held from November 9-15 in Pittsburgh, PA.  I would like you to consider submitting abstracts.
 
The following is the description of the symposium and the potential topics to cover. 

Fully Funded Ph.D. Position

Submitted by K.Kanistras on
research
Aerodynamics and Fluid Mechanic

A Ph.D. position is available in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of Alabama in Huntsville starting Spring Semester 2019. The focus of the project is on the performance enhancement of aerodynamic systems using fluidic and smart material actuators such as piezoelectric-based synthetic jets and micro fiber composites.
