If you've ever worked withoil-based paint, you know how challenging it is to remove from wood, metal, and masonry. In the past, it was believed that the only way to strip oil-based paint from these types of surfaces was to use hard-core solvent-based chemicals. Given that the active...
If you are an oil painter like me that is allergic to harsh chemicals and solvents like paint thinner and turpentine, then you are probably searching for ways to clean your artist oil paint brushes without paint thinner using safe methods like baby oil, pink soap, dish soap or perhaps cleani...

Computers were too slow and puny to do the processing required to make a suit respond to a wearer's commands or movements. There wasn't an energy supply that was sufficiently portable, and actuators, the electromechanical muscles that would move an exoskeleton, were just too weak and bulky ...
To make liquid body armor using shear-thickening fluid, researchers first dilute the fluid in ethanol. They saturate the Kevlar with the diluted fluid and place it in an oven to evaporate the ethanol. The STF then permeates the Kevlar, and the Kevlar strands hold the particle-filled fluid in...
