Liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons can be extracted from oil shale, but the rock must be heated and/or treated with solvents. This is usually much less efficient than drilling rocks that will yield oil or gas directly into a well. Extracting the hydrocarbons from oil shale produces emissions and ...
Bowl of liquid oxygen. Liquid oxygen is blue, beautiful sky blue (though the blue of the sky has nothing to do with the fact that oxygen in liquid form is blue). But it's not really quite this blue, except under certain viewing conditions. OK, I feel guilty, I admit it: The blue...
This "crystal nest" is formed by allowing a cup of the molten metal to half-solidify, then pouring the liquid center off. Different metals form surprisingly diverse types of crystals using this very simple technique. The size and shape of the crystals is very sensitive to the purity of the...
It would be really neat if there were a metal that was liquid at room temperature, didn't stick to skin, and was safe to play with, stick your fingers in, float on, etc. Up until a couple of decades ago there was: Mercury. Unfortunately it turned out that the "safe" part wasn't...
Personally, I really don't care one way or the other, I just want to know for sure! They are very attractive and interesting objects regardless of whether they are natural or man-made. In fact, despite not knowing their origin for sure, I've acquired a large quantity to use for tradin...
3 of 10Chris Weeks Europa A few of the moons circling our gas giant neighbors are highly suspected of harboring buried treasure -- specifically liquid oceans buried under layers of rock and ice. Among these, the most promising in terms of potential for life is Jupiter's satellite Europa. ...

The Earth is the first planet known to have liquid water on the surface and is the only place in the universe known to harbor life. The heat capacity of the oceans is also very important in keeping the Earth's temperature relatively stable....

liquid, coats the pieces it is brought into contact with, and is then allowed to cool. As the solder cools it hardens, and the two materials are joined. Soldering is a quick way to join many types of materials, from copper pipe to stained glass. It creates an electrically conductive ...
