The majority of the transmission infrastructure in the U.S. was built before 1960s and continues to support the electrical grid today. As electrical demand continues to rise, the grid must be ...

The building uses a post-tensioned structure through active reinforcement reducing slab death and increasing span sizes. The Facade is covered using the Flexbrick system. The volumetry of the ...

Remember that the lattice arrangement is giant - for example, a single grain of salt may contain 1.2 × 10 18 (1,200,000,000,000,000,000) ions. The lattice arrangement continues in three dimensions.

In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc structure and the zinc ions occupy half of the tetrahedral sites in this structure to attain charge neutrality. The crystal has a lattice ...

Most importantly, the resulting structure often has properties that the underlying lattice unit doesn't possess. For example, individual bone cells or coral polyp skeletons aren't very strong ...
