...which means that the slippery stuff has another distinctive characteristic: it is thixotropic-a sudden shock can transform it from a solid to a liquid...
...from future Alaskan earthquakes, Army engineers are experimenting with a technique already used in Norway: forcing electrodes into the layer of clay and passing high-amperage currents between the electrodes to reorient the clay particles. Scientists are also conducting laboratory experiments that could some day put Anchorage on more solid ground. By pumping enough calcium salts into the clay to bind its particles together by electrolytic action, they hope to make the clay more viscous, resistant to shock and no longer thixotropic...
...Cape is huge, much of its acreage still covered by scrubby palms. Occasional rattlesnakes are still found there, and when a hurricane drives them inland, the snakes become a serious nuisance. The pads are spread out, miles from each other, connected by a series of highways with names like "Solid Motor Road," "Central Control Road," and "ICBM Road...
