THE discussion arranged in Section B (Chemistry) on Sept. 6 at the York meeting of the British Association, was finally divided into two parts as it was agreed that the differences between solid ...

(Nanowerk News) By immersing glass particles in a fluid, researchers at MIT’s Media Lab and Harvard University are exploring a new mechanism for modifying an optical device’s diffusivity, or the ...

The separation process can be conducted using various instruments, but the most fitting method depends on the mixture’s properties. This article covers the importance of solid-liquid separation in the ...

In its current form, the new diffuser could be used to calibrate a wide range of imaging systems, but the researchers believe that their mechanism could ultimately lead to holographic video screens or ...

When choline chloride and urea--both solids--are mixed together in a molar ratio of 1:2, a liquid mixture is formed that freezes at 12 C. As pure compounds, choline chloride ([HOCH 2 CH 2 N(CH 3) 3] + ...

Earth’s core, the deepest part of our planet, is characterized by extremely high pressure and temperature. It is composed of a liquid outer core and solid inner core. The inner core is formed and ...
