Quantum entanglement is a property of quantum mechanics in which two or more objects in a system that are linked together can no longer be described singularly. In other words, if the two objects are somehow linked, even when separated by tremendous distances, one cannot be analyzed and described without paying the same attention to the other one. Quantum entanglement, while not known as that name, appeared around 1935 when Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen commented on it in their EPR paradox. The theory suggests that two objects that are not Read More

Stomata are a special type of pore opening on leaves of plants. They are designed to absorb water from sources such as rain while also removing excess water in the plant through transpiration. The way that the stomata work is still a mystery as we truly do not understand what causes their functioning and how. The Role of Transpiration and Stomata Plants need carbon to grow and be healthy. One way they do this is by absorbing CO2 from the air. This is the process of transpiration or gas exchange. The CO2 is taken, broken Read More

The most common type of insulation that is thought of is thermal insulation. This is the type of insulation you would find in most buildings and homes. It is designed to lower the transfer of heat between the inside of a building and the outside environment. It allows a building to retain its heat during the winter months while still keeping it relatively cool inside during the hot summer months. While there is no substance that can totally stop the transfer of heat between one area and another, there are Read More

Lasers have revolutionized the way that many devices and machinery work. From CD players to machines that cut metal, lasers play an important part in many daily activities, right under the noses of unaware consumers. Lasers are used in dental drills, tattoo removal, hair replacement, eye surgery, and there is now even a method of using laser beams to create rain. While some lasers are harmless, others are extremely dangerous and not all lasers are the same. However, all lasers work in pretty much the same way. This article will Read More

Alternating current is a large part of modern society and is great for sending electricity over long distances as well as providing higher voltages to certain appliances. The problem is that batteries can only store direct current which means that some electrical sources, such as automobiles, can only support low-end, low-voltage appliances. To correct this problem, a device that is capable of converting direct current to alternating current, the inverter, was invented. This article will explore what inverters are and how they work. What is an Inverter An inverter is Read More

Liquid armor is a new development in the body armor field. It is a material that makes lightweight, flexible and tough body armors possible. Body Armor Body armor is a protective clothing designed to stop bullets or bomb fragments and shrapnel from penetrating the human body. They are descended from leather or metal armor designed to stop projectile weapons (arrows or spears) as well as knives or swords. Whether silk or Kevlar, typical body armor is designed to trap the bullet fired at the wearer and distribute the force propelling Read More

Adding radicals can only be accomplished if there are like terms within the radical. That means that the number inside the radical (square root) has the be the same as the number inside the other radical. If that is not the case, the two cannot be added together. If it is the case, though, the two can be added together. Adding Radicals For the sake of this guide, we’ll use the equation: 2*sq(20x) + 3*sq(5x) Now, as can be seen from this equation, the numbers inside the radicals are different. Read More

Magnetic wire is a copper or aluminum wire that produces an electromagnetic field when wrapped into a coil and connected to a power supply. It is used in a number of applications and is a vital component in many different devices. Magnetic wire can be used in electrical to electrical, electrical to mechanical, and mechanical to electrical systems, each of which derives its own specific function from magnetic wire. How Magnetic Wire Works Magnetic wire is generally made of either copper or aluminum, although copper produces much better results with Read More

Natural gas cars are special cars that run using natural gas instead of conventional liquid petroleum fuel like gasoline and diesel. These cars are fitted with special engine modifications or simple add-ons that make the use of natural gas possible. Some conventional cars with internal combustion engines could also be converted into Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) cars by using special conversions and fittings. Natural Gas Natural gas is a fossil fuel which is obtained from petroleum reservoirs usually in a form of a multi-component gas. The gas is normally composed Read More

Unlike what some people imagine with laser tattoo removals and the myth of the skin being burned, it is actually a simple process of the laser making short pulses of intense light which passes through the top layers of the skin. This passing is basically absorbed by the tattoo pigments. The energy fragments the pigments into small pieces, which are later, naturally removed by the body’s immune system. Intense research in laser tattoo removing has been done to find the ideal frequency to remove the skin’s pigments, so that the Read More
