energy transfernitrogenDielectric‐barrier discharges (DBDs) in Ar–N2 mixtures, with N2 fractions in 0.1–1% range, would be attractive alternatives to DBDs in pure N2 if energy‐transfer reactions between Ar(1s) atoms and N2 molecules were an efficient source of N atoms. Attempts to ...
Atomic energy has had a mixed history in the half-century or so since the world's first commercial nuclear power plant opened at Calder Hall (now Sellafield) in Cumbria, England in 1956. Huge amounts of world energy have been produced from atoms ever since, but amid enormous controversy. ...
What Impact Does mAh Have on Battery life? mAh plays a crucial role in your device’s battery life more than you expect. In a simple explanation, the mAh rating indicates the device’s energy capacity. A higher mAh implies that the battery is capable of storing more energy. Consequently, ...
It is now generally accepted that the expansion of the universe began accelerating about 4 billion years ago. The cause of this acceleration is dark energy. Scientists have no idea what dark energy is, and hence cannot predict what will happen to it in billions of years,...
And the alternative to not splitting those atoms on-site is to use tankers to transport hydrogen to the refuelling stations, like petrol is now. There’s a certain irony in a petrol truck moving ‘greener’ energy around the country.
Development of quantum theory, also calledquantum mechanics, began in 1900 when German physicist Max Planck introduced the idea that energy and matter exist in individual units. Further developments by other scientists in the 30 years that followed have led to the modern understanding of quantum theo...
Atoms that share electrons have what type of bonds? What are some physical properties of a malleable metal? How does lattice energy relate to ionic radii? The energy with which a metal binds an electron to its surface referred to as the metal's ___. What...
b. Hydrogen atoms approach each o What is fusion in states of matter? Does nuclear fusion have alpha radiation? What does the sun consume to produce energy and helium? Where does radioactive pollution occur? What nuclear decay emission consists of energy only? Where is synchrotron radiation ...
Steven Chu, America’s energy secretary, was reportedly shocked to find that the only source of information from the Deepwater Horizon’s blowout preventer was a single gauge. So he should have been. Sensor systems for getting information out of containment vessels, off sea floors and from all...
In order to meet cost targets set by the US Department of Energy [1], and the EU Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking [2], potential substitutes to incumbent perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA)-based proton exchange membranes (PEMs) and ionomers (e.g., Nafion®) have been extensively ...
