Once upon a time, regular milk was defined as milk with cream at the top. That changed with one major industrial process.

Abstract: This study presents a numerical homogenization model to predict the effective nonlinear behavior of highly heterogeneous electropermanent magnet (EPM) composites. EPM composites consist of ...

In an experiment last year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, more than fifty students from universities around Boston were split into three groups and asked to write SAT-style essays in ...

Shear force is any force corresponding to a material’s surface. In liquid, for example, this leads to friction between fluid particles, leading to particle size reduction. In high shear mixing, shear ...

Homogenization is vital in many industrial processes, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. High-pressure homogenization and sonication are two widely used homogenization techniques. However ...

An emulsion is a two-phase system formed by droplets dispersed in another non-miscible liquid. Many emulsions consist of a hydrophobic ‘oily’ phase dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about higher ed issues, leadership, finance, and innovation. In chasing one another, and tending toward the same model and ...

Biotic homogenization occurs when human activity leads to the spread of non-native species, thereby diminishing global biodiversity. This phenomenon is at the core of a new study published in the ...

Human activities are merging global ant populations, eroding natural evolutionary distinctions and threatening biodiversity, especially in tropical regions and on islands. Human activity is leading to ...
