Phase Behavior of Boron Nitride Liquid Crystals for Assembly into Macroscopic Materials
Animations | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Frank Padron, Rice University
Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNT) are formed by hexagonal lattices with alternating boron and nitrogen atoms. This type of nanotubes is strong, but unlike electrically conductive carbon nanotubes, BNNTs are good electrical insulators and are thermally and chemically stable in air up to 900...

Sediment Transport During Floods
Animations | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Mila Taylor, Rice University
Rivers move water and sediments during floods which are crucial in water resource management and the community around them. In this study, we explore the effect of river transport on the grain size distribution of Mount Mazama ash deposit in Oregon. To explore our ideas, we characterized...

Escaping Gas in Magma
Animations | 24 Sep 2024 | Contributor(s): Gwenanne Michalsky, Rice University
In magma, suspended bubbles can change the viscosity and other properties of magma which can then determine the style of volcanic eruptions. To better understand volcanic eruptions we want to understand how gas is lost from magma. We performed rheological experiments to investigate the...
