Ultracold ChemistryThere is an ongoing revolution in techniques to produce gases of molecules with extremely low entropy (low temperature and high density). These methods can, increasingly, produce molecules in their absolute quantum ground states for all their many degrees of freedom, both internal (rotation, vibration, hyperfine, etc.) and external (center of ...
Teacher Workshop: Weather, Climate Change and Plate TectonicsDensity, temperature, and salinity of water throughout the oceans can cause major changes in weather, and over time cause climate change. Plate tectonics can also influence of the flow of atmosphere and hydrosphere, which can cause climate change. The rotation of the Earth also influence flow pattern (Coriolis effect). Complicated ...
Plan B: Taking the Carbon out of Fossil Fuels with Catalytic Reactive SeparationThere is no evidence that significant reductions in the carbon dioxide emissions associated with power generation will be cost effectively achieved using current commercial alternatives to abundant and inexpensive fossil fuels. The lowest cost process for producing hydrogen and/or dispatchable electricity without CO2 emissions in the U.S. utilizes pyrolysis of ...
Where is the best place to find living life beyond Earth? It may be that the small, ice-covered moons of Jupiter and Saturn harbor some of the most habitable real estate in our Solar System. Life loves liquid water and these moons have lots of it! Such oceans worlds have ...
