Time to update all those science textbooks across the globe.
Chemistry is referred to as central science because it provides a foundation for understanding both basic and applied scientific disciplines at a fundamental level. The most primary and fascinating part of chemistry are chrmicals. Here are some of the substances I find particularly peculiar and interesting: First on the list are Ferrofluids. It is a …
Researchers have discovered a new interference mechanism in ultracold chemical reactions, one which has important technological applications in precision measurements, sensing and quantum computing.
"Remarkable progress in cooling and trapping molecules in recent years has opened up an entirely new energy regime for studying chemical reactivity at temperatures below one micro-Kelvin," said Brian Kendrick, of the Los Alamos National Laboratory's Theoretical Division. "Ultracold chemistry exhibits unique quantum properties, which provides a switch for effectively turning the reaction on or off."
Lexus Australia has collaborated with creative agency M&C Saatchi to create a heart-racing demonstration of a vehicle that can display a driver's heartbeat on its exterior. In the demo, professional drivers raced at night with their heart rates "connected" to the cars they drove.
Ingredients that went into this show included the Lexus special RC F show car, a driver's heart-rate monitor and, for the car exterior, a special electroluminescent coating. Lexus billed it as the world's first car with a heartbeat. Lexus Australia referred to the "biometric paintwork."
