Laser light of a suitable wavelength lifts an electron in the fermiumatomto a higher-lying orbital, and then removes it from the atom altogether, forming a fermium ion, which can be detected efficiently. The exact energy required for this stepwise ion-formation process varies with neutron numb...
What does an atom consist of?Bonding:Bonding occurs between atoms. There are two types of bonding - in covalent bonding both atoms make use of the same electrons (two per bond), and in ionic bonding one atom steals electrons from another, creating positive and negative ions which are ...
Okay, we've figured how to get energy from an atom, but the energy we've got isn't that helpful: it's just a huge amount of heat! How do we turn that into something much more useful, namely electricity? A nuclear power plant works pretty much like a conventional power plant, but ...

NORAD keeps an eye on more than just potential attacks, however, as they have tracked Santa's movements for more than 50 years. The tradition began in 1955 when NORAD's predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD), received several calls from children hoping to speak with Santa ...
This is often desirable because several catalysts may contain transition metals (e.g. iron, nickel, platinum, palladium etc.) and often also complex ligands bearing, for example, phosphorus. Additionally, even if the catalysts are derived from more eco-friendly elements, they are always a source...
Here's a look at when daylight saving time starts and ends during the year, so you know when to change your clock and not miss an important engagement. You'll also learn about the history of daylight saving time, why we have it now and some myths and interesting facts about the time ...
Micro-XRF is an energy-dispersive method which uses a polycapillary optic to guide the excitation X-rays into a micrometer-sized spot on the sample. Thus, it cannot only tell you what elements are in a sample and how much of them, but also where exactly they are. Especially when combine...
An array-valued argument is required in this context. So I just used if loop and logical operator /= and ==. But I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly. If-loop 4 is wrong, assign/store the elements of the array to a variable except for a...
