A centrifuge is a device used to separate liquids from solids by spinning. Long ago, people saw that gravity could eventually separate a sediment from a liquid or separate two liquids which do not mix. The heavier element within a container would...

A centrifuge is a spinning device used to separate materials of different densities. Centrifuges are used industrially to separate impurities from products such as milk, lubricating oils, beer, and wine. They are also used in scientific research as a...

A mechanical device that rotates at high speed with the aim of separating solid particles from suspension using the gravitational forces thereby induced. A centrifuge can also be used to generate linear motion in an object by raising its speed and then...

A rotating device for separating liquids of different specific gravities or for separating suspended colloidal particles, such as clay particles in an aqueous suspension, according to particle-size fractions by centrifugal force (Figure...

A centrifuge is a piece of equipment, generally driven by a motor, that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying force perpendicular to the axis. The centrifuge works using the sedimentation principle, where the centripetal acceleration...

Axis Of Evil: Iran's leader giddily claimed Monday that his nation has joined the nuclear club -- a membership the civilized world should revoke as soon as possible.President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared that Iran can now produce nuclear fuel on an "industrial scale." Tehran reportedly has...

Iran said Monday it is installing 3,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium at one of its nuclear facilities, effectively confirming that its nuclear program is running behind schedule as the devices were to have been in place two weeks ago.Over the weekend, Iran dismissed reports from...

Iran's president claimed Sunday that his country is now running 3,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium for its nuclear program, reaching an Iranian goal that could add momentum to efforts to impose new U.N. sanctions on the Islamic Republic.The claim appeared at odds with a report...

In a building far from public view in the tree-covered hills of southern Ohio, the company that recycles uranium from Russian warheads for fueling U.S. nuclear power plants is preparing to demonstrate an advance from Cold War technology.USEC Inc., which last month began interior construction...
