Controlling the chemical properties to achieve absolute zero
Scientist in labs have been testing experiments on different chemical compounds to achieve around the coldest temperature, absolute zero. I will talk about what is happening now and the new discovery. I will explain what is absolute zero and who named it. Lastly I will talk about were the scientist studying this should go from there. The Institutes to credit this to are the Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering.

Controlling all aspects of reactions is very hard until this invention. All aspects that are taking place in a chemical reaction and they are crucial for understanding what happens in that reaction and if any of the factors has an effect on it. A team lead by Andreas Osterwalder from the EPFL Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering that also has been working with a theorist from the University of Toronto, created an apparatus that creates an environment that is suitable to create a chemical reaction that is close to absolute zero. According to Science Daily, “...built an apparatus that allows them to control the orientation and energies of reacting atoms, down to nearly absolute zero”. So the apparatus allows the operators to control all factors that play into the chemical reaction.

I will talk about what is absolute zero, were it came from, and who named it and were the name came from. The first person to discover that the coldest temperature is absolute zero was William Thomson also known as Lord Kelvin. William was a british inventor and scientist. In 1848 the Kelvin scale was the known basis of a absolute temperature. Absolute zero in the kelvin scale was zero and celsius would be -273, for fahrenheit it would be -459. Kelvin was used a lot because it had no negative numbers. Absolute zero was named after the lowest point in the scale of kelvin (zero).

The future uses of the discovery of making chemical reactions that are close to absolute zero will be explained by the following. It can created new technology in space because in space it can get pretty cold pretty fast so the suits astronauts would have to wear would be cooled down so temperatures in space could be neutralized. It can be used in construction to cold down metals so the metals could combine into one like how construction workers are using liquid nitrogen to cool down metals. It can also be used to make refrigerators more cold and can keep foods edible. The uses of the chemical reactions are endless there are some of the uses of the new discovery.

Force and Motion in Concerts

Force and Motion Blog  By Amadi Clemens INTRODUCTION: Do you listen to Travis Scott? If so, you know of his most recent album AstroWorld has been on tour. One of his recent shows (in Oakland, California) he performed with a roller coaster. Crazy, right? It wasn’t like a full roller coaster that you see Six Flags. It’s like the Ring of Fire at Clementon Park. His ring ties into his theme park theme! PROS AND CONS: There are pros and cons that follow this event. A pro is that it was a fresh idea. I’ve seen amusement parks and rides in music videos but never live in concert. Another pro is that it was eye-catching and entertaining.. The main idea of a concert is that it is entertaining, this is going back to the idea of fresh. A con is that it’s very dangerous. Although thrilling, what if something goes wrong? What if it breaks? What if it stops mid-way in the year and he can’t rap anymore? Mechanical service would have to come and get him and that can ruin the concert. Another con, ...

Chemical complexities that causes Saturn's rings to change planet’s atmosphere

Ayad Alhazmi 10/19/2018 Chemical complexities that causes Saturn's rings to change planet’s atmosphere New discoveries are made today on Saturn's rings by the Cassini space probe. Based on data from the final orbits of NASA's Cassini space probe shows the rings of Saturn. Some of the most amazing celestial objects in the universe are far more chemically complicated than was previously understood by scientist. When the Cassini space probe first gathered the information from 2017 and the signals of Cassini took scientist a long time to retrieve the information. Also knowing the astrophysicists are still studying it is beyond my reach. I will show you a quote by a professor of physics and astronomy Thomas Cravens. "Two things surprised me. One is the chemical complexity of what was coming off the rings -- we thought it would be almost entirely water based on what we saw in the past. The second thing is the sheer quantity of it -- a lot more than we originally expected. ...

The Earth is a very big Magnet Its North and South Poles are Highly Magnetic

The Earth is a very big Magnet     Its North and South Poles are Highly Magnetic   By: Alzahraa Alrubaiey Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. Earth has two geographic poles: the North Pole and the South Pole. They are the places on Earth's surface that Earth's imaginary spin axis passes through. Our planet also has two magnetic poles: the North Magnetic Pole and the South Magnetic Pole. The magnetic poles are near, but not quite in the same place as the geographic poles.   The Earth is a magnet that can interact with other magnets in this way, so the north end of a compass magnet is drawn to align with the Earth's magnetic field. Because the Earth's magnetic North Pole attracts the north ends of other magnets, it is technically the South Pole of our planet's magnetic field. A compass point north because all magnets have two poles, a north pole...
