Molten steel temperature prediction and control is a critical facet of modern steelmaking, underpinning product quality, operational safety, and energy efficiency. Advances in this field enable ...

We’ve seen a lot of neat DIY guns in our day: The assault trombone, the CD gun, a Nerf gun that breaks the sound barrier, and a host of others. Those are all pretty special, but none of them are as ...

Pressurized water guns have been popular since the 1980's. And while it's impossible to confirm, BackyardScientist might be the first to combine the idea with molten metal. It looks like half of its ...

Here's another item to add to the list of things you shouldn't try at home: tossing your plastic water bottle into molten hot steel. It will result in an explosion of sparks that'll rain down on your ...

Ordinarily, steel plants have to regularly halt production while a disposable probe gets lowered into the molten steel, measuring its temperature and collecting samples for chemical analysis. That may ...

Steelmaking is one of the hardest industries to decarbonize due to its reliance on high temperatures and coal-based fuels to drive crucial reactions. But a green steel company has made a major ...

A retired entomologist has developed a technique for studying the nesting habits of different ant species -- pour molten aluminium into their homes, wait for it to set and out comes a detailed and ...

Imagine working at a steel mill. You somehow landed a job. It's your first day, and you are assigned to the forge. Alright, ...

Scientists can easily explain the structural order that makes steel and aluminum out of molten metal. And they have discovered the molecular changes that take place as water turns to ice. But, despite ...

When most people hear “molten splash,” they might imagine splashes of molten metal or a dramatic industrial incident. But molten splash hazards are far more nuanced, and the hazards are more complex ...
