#Lava pillars in Iceland may have formed without a boom University at Buffalo rightoriginal Studyposted by Charlotte Hsu-Buffalo on October 9 2013land-based lava pillars in Iceland may have formed through an unusual reaction typically seen
That finding is more likely than the one that suggests the rocky pillars dotting Icelandâ#Skaelingar valley were tossed projectiles into the fields by warring trollsâ##a theory University at Buffalo geologist Tracy Gregg heard from a tour guide and local hiker.
The pillars hollow and made from basalt likely formed in a surprising reaction where lava met water without any explosion occurring. sually
This has implications for the way we view volcanic risk. eep-sea basalt pillars form
when columns of super-heated water rise between pillows of lava on the ocean floor cooling the molten rock into hollow pipe-like minarets.
and Geothermal Research the scientists propose that the same phenomenon sculpted the land-based lava pillars in Iceland.
Each of these distinctive characteristics is also prevalent in deep ocean pillars says Gregg. knew as soon as I saw them what they were.
'n the future Gregg says scientists could hunt for land-based lava pillars near oceans to learn about the height of ancient seas

and bonded the nickel pillars to a soft transparent layer of silicone. The researchers exposed the material to an external magnetic field placing it between two large magnets
and found they were able to control the angle and direction of the pillars which tilted toward the angle of the magnetic field.
and the pillars will follow the field in real time Zhu says. Tilting toward a fieldin experiments the team piped a water solution through a syringe and onto the microhair array.
which the pillars tilted while being pinned highly or fixed in all other directions#an effect that was seen even
Through a combination of surface tension and tilting pillars water climbed up the array following the direction of the pillars.
while tilting the pillars at various angles and found she could control how much light passed through based on the angle at which the pillars bent.
In principle she says more complex magnetic fields could be designed to create intricate tilting patterns throughout an array.
Or depending on how you design the magnetic field you could get the pillars to close in like a flower.
Joel Yang and Shawn Tan at the A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering and co-workers used an electron beam to form arrays of approximately 100-nanometer-tall pillars.
They then deposited a thin aluminum layer on top of the pillars and in the gaps between them.

"The researchers developed a novel, metal, pillar-bowtie nanoantenna (p-BNA) array template on 500-nanometer tall glass pillars (or posts.
The team believes that the relatively high aspect ratio (pillar height-to-thickness) of 4. 2 for the p-BNAS,
along with a significant thermal contribution, permit sufficient compliance of the pillars to be actuated by electron-beam-induced gradient forces.
and dopes graphene with nitrogen is pumped through a flexible narrow reinforced tube called a capillary column and heated in an oven for six hours.
But the materials are packed tightly in the capillary column and remain so as they're pumped out resulting in the high volumetric energy density.
