Egg drop competitions are a staple of physics classes, designed to teach students about structural mechanics and impact physics. The goal is to build a structure to protect your egg, after which you drop it from a height without it breaking. The failure rate is extremely high — so MIT engineering professor Tal Cohen decided to look into it. Her conclusion: Dropping the eggs on their sides is a better tactic than dropping them vertically. Here's more from @arstechnica.

TBH, #PumplessLiquidCooling isn't new.

• I know folks who worked 35+ years in #MaterialScience and they could design that.

#Noctua's innovation is turn something from a #lab product that costs thousands of Euros in personnel hours design & setup into a consumer-ready product that doesn't require a #Hazmat-Suit - trained #chemist nor industrial- or A/C plumber to get started and that is "reasonable" to sell...

• And for that I'll give them credit once it hits [virtual] store shelves...

#Funfact: I do know someone who did some of the fundamental research on those flaments...

• Cuz #MaterialScience sometimes starts with just some chemists doing the professional version of "#FuckAroundAndFindOut!" in a lab and see what works and what doesn't.

And sometimes you get that nano-encapsulated stuff and the processes on how to homogenously mix those capsules in other materials.

• Other times you can get some narly lab accidents.

While #3D #printing has exploded in popularity, many of the plastic materials these printers use to create objects cannot be easily recycled. While new sustainable materials are emerging for use in 3D printing, they remain difficult to adopt because 3D printer settings need to be adjusted for each material

#Collimators are important components used in neutron scattering. Similar to X-rays, neutrons are used to study energy and matter at the atomic scale. #Neutron collimators can be thought of as funnels that help guide neutrons toward a detector after they interact with experimental sample materials.
