All steel pipes rust and eventually fail. So, to preempt disasters, oil companies and others use computer models to predict when replacements are needed. But if the models go wrong, they can be ...

Engineers and scientists in U.S. labs have long been working on making fusion a practical and economic fusion reactor that could be a source of carbon-free energy. One of the many challenges in ...

Laboratory experiments and observation of pit growth rates in six operating fields have led to development of a model to predict internal pitting corrosion of oil and gas pipelines. The inputs ...
