What Do Mechanical Engineers Wear to Work?
There is no single dress code for mechanical engineers. You should dress appropriately for the tasks you have scheduled. Some days you may need to wear overalls and a hard hat; other days you wear a suit to deal with clients. Your career may include short site visits, longer field support assignments or traditional office work. Your best wardrobe should be versatile, so that you can quickly adapt to the needs of a particular assignment. Because each company has its own style, be sensitive to what other .....Read more @https://techablyengineering..com/2018/05/what-do-mechanical-engineers-wear-to_15.html

Electric Material in Mantle Could Explain Earth's Rotation

Electric Material in Mantle Could Explain Earth's Rotation

When it comes to Earth's rotation, you might think geophysicists have pretty much everything figured out. Not quite. In order to explain some variations in the way our planet spins, Earth's mantle—the layer of hot, softened rock that lies between the crust and core—must conduct electricity, an ability that the mantle as we know it shouldn't have. Now, a new study finds that iron monoxide, which makes up 9% of the mantle, actually does conduct electricity just like a metal, but only at temperatures and pressures found far beneath the surface.
Earth's spin isn't flawless. Geophysicists have discovered that the time it takes our planet to complete one rotation—the length of a day—fluctuates slightly over the course of months or years. They've also noticed extra swing in the predictable wobble of Earth's axis of rotation, like the swaying of a spinning top. The variations are probably caused by the solid iron inner core, liquid metal outer core, and rocky mantle rotating at slightly different rates. Friction helps bring them into line, and the magnetic field of the outer core can pull on the metal inner core. But to really fit the observations, the core should also exert its magnetic tug on the mantle, says Bruce Buffett, an earth scientist at the University of California,......read more @ https://techablyengineering..com/2018/06/electric-material-in-mantle-could.html
