A research team led by biogeochemists from the University of Georgia, Athens, has discovered at the site a previously unreported chemical mechanism for the production of nitrous oxide, an important greenhouse gas. Antarctic nitrous oxide provides key clue Quantitative description of the fermentation pro...
To describe the atomic makeup of compounds, chemists use systematic methods for naming compounds and writing chemical formulas. In this chapter, you will be introduced to some of the rules used to identify simple chemical compounds. MAIN IDEA Formulas tell the number and kinds of atoms in a ...
The softness and flexibility of soft robots would be greatly enhanced with more soft parts in their makeup. This paper presents an entirely soft valve that leverages the snap-through instability of an elastomeric dome for flow control. The geometric instability enables the dome to snap upward or...
In the altitude region between 50 and 65 km, NO is transformed into NO2 and then returned to NO by reaction of NO2 with O and by NO2 photodissociation. These reactions determine the isotopic makeup of NO. Above 65 km, nitric oxide is produced by local ionization processes and gas phase...
