Reducing potholes in cold climates
Reducing potholes in cold climates Could recycled materials help to build durable roads in areas with significant temperature swings like Saskatchewan? On The Beamlines: This series profiles scientists using the CLS and their ongoing research that has not yet been peer-reviewed or published. It is meant to give the public a peek into how scientists do science, what drives them, and how they're trying to answer the big questions. We all hate the potholes that appear on the roads as the weather starts to change. L-R, T-B: Haithem Soliman, image of asphalt taken at CLS, scanning asphalt on the BMIT...
X-rays allow us to quickly develop high-strength steels
X-rays allow us to quickly develop high-strength steels Synchrotron analyses could be used to fast-track the development of novel high-strength steel designs. Dr. Harishchandra Singh, an adjunct professor at NANOMO and the Centre for Advanced Steels Research at the University of Oulu in Finland. He is standing next to steel components in the spectroscopy lab at NANOMO. Accurately predicting the strength of a steel prototype based on its microstructure and composition would be indispensable when designing new types of steel, but it has been nearly impossible to achieve — until now. “Designing/making the best-strength steel is the hardest task,”...
