Three hundred million years ago, in Carboniferous times, dragonflies grew as big as seagulls, with wingspans of nearly a metre. Engineering researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute made a sheet of paper from the world's thinnest material, graphene, and then zapped the paper with a laser or camera flash to blemish it with countless cracks, pores, and other imperfections. Three hundred million years ago, dragonflies grew as big as seagulls, with wingspans nearly a yard across. Oxygen Molecules in the Orion Nebula Astronomers have at last identified the distinct signatures of oxygen molecules in space, using observations made with the Herschel Space Observatory. NGC is putting a unique twist on history by retracing the extraordinary journey of a single molecule of oxygen an adventure that takes place over millions of years. Oxygen has had extraordinary effects on life. After World War II, new technologies brought significant improvements to the air separation process used to produce oxygen. Astronomers are finding more and more of life's key ingredients in deep space, from amino acids to a huge water reservoir, and now molecular oxygen. Oxygen is usually found as a molecule made up of two atoms. Production volumes and purity levels increased while costs decreased. Oxygen: The Molecule that Made the World. The story begins with the birth of oxygen, moves Feel free to post any comments about Naked Science S10E01 The Molecule that Made the World HDTV XviD-FQM, including links to downloads, samples, screenshots, information, or any other relevant information. Truth is I haven't even got a copy of that book yet, so this blog will be devoted to a review of his first, somewhat drier sounding book, Oxygen: the molecule that made the world, published in 2002. The result is a In both instances, the heat from the laser or photoflash literally caused mini-explosions throughout the paper, as the oxygen atoms in graphene oxide were violently expelled from the structure. ( Symbol O ) A nonmetallic element constituting 21 percent of the atmosphere by volume that occurs as a diatomic gas, O 2 , and in many compounds. Second, I read to be amazed and gain an appreciation for the wider world.
