The driving mechanism behind this process harnesses the surface tension of liquid bridges to promote the controlled thinning of a macroscale polymer solution filament into the desired micro- or sub-microscale fiber.
McCaw's work too entails violation, but not violence, and the interruptions of the surface are inflicted not by the human hand but by natural (and chemical) processes, harnessed.
For reversible conversion, we derive theoretical Sun-to-H2 (STH2) efficiencies for water-splitting processes harnessing solar energy as heat predominantly.
Materials can be transformed from one crystalline phase to another by using an electric field to control ion transfer, in a process that can be harnessed in applications such as batteries1, smart windows2 and fuel cells3.
But no one knew how fast this might happen if the process were harnessed for carbon storage.
This is the beginning and not the end of a process which will harness the enthusiasm and commitment of the children, parents, teachers and all the partner organisations to ensure our young people receive a first class education".
The Centre for Defence Enterprise was set up to provide a new process for harnessing innovative ideas with potential defence or security applications.
It can be harnessed, through a process known as ice templating, to produce porous materials and composites exhibiting unique functional properties.
Building on the model of open source software, we are working from the hypothesis that an open development process best harnesses the distributed resources of the Internet community.
Looking forward, we can expect that improvements in information extraction technology and the continued expansion of the gene-centric text in the Gene Wiki will combine to produce an increasingly valuable process for harnessing the ever-expanding body of functional knowledge about the human genome.
This feels like an ultimate reversal of the relation between humanity and environment envisaged in the religious vision – the material world's processes deliberately harnessed to bring about domination by violence; though, when you think about it, it is only a projection of the existing history of military technology.
