THE work of Oldham and Ubbelohde 1 suggested that the melting point of mixtures of dipolar compounds may be much lower than predicted by the Le Chatelier–Schröder (or Hildebrand) equation 2 if one ...
Researchers at Tokai University have created materials obtained by bringing n-alkanes into contact with graphite which are capable of conducting electricity with almost no energy loss at room ...
The melting point range of a substance is the temperature range from which the first crystal starts to melt, to the temperature at which the last crystal finishes melting. Key fact An impure substance ...
Beneath the ocean, massive tectonic plates collide and grind against one another, which drives one below the other. This powerful collision, called subduction, is responsible for forming volcanic arcs ...
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., April 20 (UPI) --What controls cocoa butter's melting point? A single genetic trait. And researchers at Penn State say they've found it. Scientists say their discovery will allow ...
A new study using simulations identified two tipping points for the Greenland Ice Sheet: releasing 1000 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere will cause the southern portion of the ice sheet to melt; ...
A new study changes our understanding of how volcanic arc lavas are formed, and may have implications for the study of earthquakes and the risks of volcanic eruption. Beneath the ocean, massive ...
