Engineers Make Flying Computer Chips the Size of Sand

2021-9-22  (Inside Science) -- Winged microchips each about the size of a grain of sand may be the smallest-ever artificial flying structures, devices that could one day help monitor air pollution and airborne disease. The new chips, or "microfliers," are not equipped with motors or engines. Instead, much like a maple tree's propeller seed, they fly on the wind, twirling like helicopter blades through ...

Which Size of Envirofill Do I Need for My Artificial Turf ...

2020-8-19  Sieve size describes the minimum and maximum mesh sieves each grain of sand (each piece of Envirofill infill) would fit through. The “12” in the 12-20 size is the largest hole in the sieve that product would fit through. “20” is the smallest hole in the sieve that product would fit through.

Man-made structures on marine sediments: Effects on ...

This study (1975–1977) examines the effect of man-made structures on natural sand bottom communities in shallow water in San Diego County, southern California, USA. While there were shallow scour effects to 15 m around some artificial reefs, the reefs had no measurable effect on sand ripple patterns, grain size, organic carbon or infauna beyond the scoured areas. Foraging by reef-associated ...

Physical and Compaction Properties of Granular Materials ...

Granular materials in geotechnical engineering is generally considered to be mixtures of clay, sand, and gravel that commonly appear in slopes, valleys, or river beds, and they are especially used for the construction of earth-rock-filled dams. The complexity of the constitution of granular materials leads to the complexity of their properties. Particle size distribution (PSD) has a great ...
