MALE PROFESSOR: OK, I want to go over the different types of meteorites…and what we've learned from them about the formation of Earth and the solar system.Uh, the thing is, what's especially interesting about meteorites is that they come from interplanetary space, but they consist of the...
Dutch astronomer Jan Oort proposed that a giant cloud of matter left over from the formation of the solar system surrounds the Sun and extends out to about 50,000 astronomical units.This cloud contains large chunks of matter like the nuclei of comets.The gravitational influence of a passing sta...
long-dead star. Published Dec. 22 in theAstrophysical Journal, the study addresses a nagging cosmic mystery about the abundance of two elements in our solar system compared to the rest of the galaxy.
Battery is used as a device in which electrochemical cells are used. In battery, electrons are being transferred by means of electric circuit. Movement of electrons confirm the formation of electrical energy. Answer and Explanation:1 Battery consist of three main components, cathode, anode and elec...
The enhancement of carbon-14 in tree rings around AD 774/775 has generated wide interest in solar activity at that time. The historical auroral records hav
Choice of a computational procedure, however, depends upon the level of the needed accuracy, size of the molecular system, and the available computational facility. Often, semi-empirical calculations at the AM1 and PM3 level provide the geometry; however, they may or may not predict the ...
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have observed the formation of holes that move by themselves in droplets of ionic liquids (IL) sitting inside water-ethanol mixtures. This complex phenomenon is driven by an interplay between how ionic liquids dissolve, and how the boundary around the dr...

A possible explanation for this behavior is that prolonged heating in the presence of moisture favors reactions that result in the formation of dark compounds, such as the Maillard reaction and oxidation of vitamin C. Franco et al. [23] observed the same behavior during the drying of the ...
The nonlinear interaction of the solar wind with the Earth’s magnetic field results in the formation of currents in the ionosphere, which can ultimately lead to a strong disturbance of the magnetic field, and bring damage to the power distribution networks, and other long-distance pipelines too...
