Revolutionary Orange Goo
By:Gerry Atkinson

In 1999, a scientists named Richard Palmer was experimenting in his college dorm room and mixed a few ingredients together. The end result turned out to be an orange, soft, and flubber like substance that moved easily and freely until exposed to higher force. Palmer named the goo after the room it all started in, D30. Now D30 is mainly used for shock absorption and impact protection: the special ooze has the potential to save countless lives.

During the year of 2017, the NFL had 281 concussions alone, and D30 claims it can be part of the solution. When tackled to the ground or diving to catch a ball the material can absorb the majority of the impact and leave the user basically unharmed. The soft and flexible padding will turn stiff and protective in the few milliseconds of the play. D30 currently has 25 different products, ranging from smartphone cases to Military Gear and is a Non-Newtonian fluid, meaning it has properties different than standard Newtonian fluids. The company claims that the goo has "unlimited potential" with its wide range of uses and it does in fact seem that way.

The next step for D30 would be to get it out into the world to add more protection into the lives of those who need it. Thanks to recent deals with Under Armour and Schutt Sports, the company has stated that the profits will reach upwards of 50 million dollars by the end of 2017 and the numbers will just rise. The possibilities are seemingly endless for the miracle product, and hopefully it can be put to good use.

Molecular Gastronomy   By: Shahminah Mahar-ullah Date:3/22/19 Molecular Gastronomy is both a fusion of science and cooking. The scientific discipline gives the chef complete control of what the texture, taste, and physical appearance of the dish. Molecular Gastronomy is a modern unique style of cooking that some would say it could be considered art. There are three aspects of Molecular Gastronomy, as i said before it is texture,taste,and physical appearance. Molecular Gastronomy can have a very simple and familiar taste or a new and unique taste. Taste is often a aspect that is forgotten about in Molecular Gastronomy. Mostly because people who don't know much about the style of cooking kinda forget that its actually cooking ,not just some form a science. Taste is the main focus with cooking in general and with molecular cooking taste can be brought to a whole new level since you have complete control over each part of the dish. Same goes for physical appearance and ...

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions Maisy Chase Up until now only three classes of chemical reactions were known. Unimolecular reactions occur when one reactant undergoes bond breaking or forming to create different products. Bimolecular reactions are where two reactants collide and then undergo bond breaking or forming. Termolecular association reactions, where two reactants collide to form a whole with a new chemical bond between the two reactants. A third molecule, known as the bath gas, then removes some of the internal kinetic energy of that molecule to stabilize it. Researchers from Columbia University , led by Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Michael P. Burke, have discovered a fourth class of chemical reaction known as “chemically termolecular reactions.” This involves the breaking and bonding of three molecules. The team showed that these chemically termolecular reactions not only are major chemical pathways but also ...

Force and Motion

Zach Fluck Science blog Force and Motion Blog Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, born on December 25, 1642. He died on March 20, 1727, most likely from mercury poisoning or old age. However, during his life, he made several contributions to modern science and advanced our understanding of physics tremendously. Arguably his most famous discovery was gravity. However, he had to use his 3 laws of motion to make this accomplishment. Newton understood that an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by unbalanced forces. Therefore, if an object such as an apple is in a resting position there must be a force to make the apple fall to the ground. He discovered this invisible force to be gravity. At a young age Newton was removed from school to be a farmhand. Despite returning to school the turning point in his live was he left his hometown to attend Cambridge University. After attending Cambridge he returned to his hometown where his observat...
