...energy collisions will reveal. The audio tracks feature Dr Stephen Serjeant and Dr David Broadhurst from The Open University and Dr Dan Faircloth and Dr Bruce Kennedy from the Science and Technology Facilities Council's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. They share their passion for this immense machine that will recreate, on a tiny scale, conditions that existed just after...

Thermal spraying (Hardfacing)

...energy into molten material (1/5 of the energy of plasma arc and 1/9 of the energy of flame processes). Although plasma arc has a high capital cost and high operating cost, and requires complicated support services, it is the most versatile of the thermal spray processes, giving excellent coating properties with almost any material. The high operating temperatures...

How Do Batteries Work?

...energy into electricity, heres an explainer on how a battery works...What is an electric current? Within every atom there’s a tiny, positively charged nucleus surrounded by a number of even smaller, negatively charged particles called electrons. The electrons each carry the same amount of negative charge. The charge on the nucleus is equal in size to the total charge of...

DIY: Measuring latitude and longitude

...solar declination] Solar declination - the seasonal consequence of the 'tilted' Earth's annual movement around the sun. Although complex tables (almanacs) are used to obtain correction factors for any day of the year, you can accurately estimate the appropriate numbers for yourself. For example, if calculating the value at the beginning of May, you would be half-way...

Ancient Rain: Historic monsoons could help us respond to climate change

...solar insolation received on Earth due to changes in the Earth’s position relative to the sun. Coupled with this external climate forcing, internal climate feedbacks (such as greenhouse gas concentrations) act to amplify the climate response to insolation. Assessing the behaviour of the monsoon during the penultimate deglaciation (~140-130 thousand years ago),...
