The very first life on earth is thought to have developed from 'protocells' -- liquid mixtures of many different types of molecules. Researchers have now shown that in such mixtures, small imbalances ...

The mechanism of the formation of BrO and ClO in the flash photolysis of halogen + oxygen mixtures was investigated. It was found that the predominant mechanism for the production of BrO (about 90% in ...

Students learn to identify various methods for separating mixtures to define density. Matter: Separation of Mixtures: Students learn to identify various methods for separating mixtures, to define ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 103, Section 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (1994), pp. 1020-1029 (10 pages) This study is concerned with development of a new type of diesel engine using the fuel jet impingement ...

Hydrocarbon mixtures are extremely abundant in the Universe, and diamond formation from them can play a crucial role in shaping the interior structure and evolution of planets. With first-principles ...

The liquid crystals used in displays nowadays are usually in a nematic phase, i.e. a liquid-like state of almost parallel oriented molecules. However, there is another liquid crystal phase which has a ...
