Armed with a heightened sense of smell and taste, and discovering that I had severe physical reactions to the chemicals being sprayed, it became my involuntary assignment to learn everything I could about the—obviously artificial—materials in the air that were making my life daily torture.I be...

Often take part in chemical reactions to form predictable products.TYPES OF PURE SUBSTANCESA pure substance can either be an element or a compound.ELEMENTSAll living and nonliving matter are made up of elements. This type of matter is made up of only one kind of atom. Thus, they cannot be...
The 10 Best Hubble Telescope Images and What They Revealed What Are Hypergiant Stars? Is a Brown Dwarf a Planet or a Star? Can We See and Picture the Surfaces of Other Stars?
Decreasing the oxidation rate or reducing half-reactions of corrosion occurring on material surface. Improving the electrical resistance at the material electrolyte interface. Posing as a physical barrier against O2,H2O and corrosion ions, such as Cl- and SO4-2....
The combustion of a fuel or the rerouting of a fluid to produce mechanical work makes them work. As a result, there is a lot of crossover between thermal engines and chemical propulsion systems. There are two types of machines: those that require an external oxidizer and those that don’t...
Although it’s not clear how SSRIstreat depression, these drugs are known to inhibit the uptake ofserotonin(a kind of chemical messenger called a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood). This means they prevent the body from breaking down serotonin, which in turn helps increase levels of this...
When meat is cooked at high temperatures, certain chemical compounds called heterocyclic amines can be created that may have carcinogenic effects. Research published in 2021 has pointed to a link between consumption of highly processed meat products and higher risk for cancer. The higher the cooking...
Replacing water as a coolant with liquid molten salt could tap more of the energy available in radioactive materials and reduce the risk of a meltdown by slowing the nuclear reactions automatically if they get too hot. The higher operating temperatures of coolants like helium, liquid metals, an...
