New, 'Exotic State of Matter' Found Far Below Freezing 
Arden Jansen 

The universal definition of atoms is “the building blocks of all matter.” You may know that matter cannot be created nor destroyed Since matter is made of atoms, they cannot be created nor destroyed either. Adding on to atoms, they are comprised of positive and negative charged atoms along with neutrally charged atoms. There is tons of space from where these subatomic particles orbit the nucleus. This has led to research by the Vienna University and Harvard University to discover the empty space filled with building blocks. 
These scientists were able to do further research on this topic some consisting on how far the subatomic particles orbit is from the nucleus. The current study had an multi step experiment along with the research. First, the scientist would have to cool a dilute gas of bosons to as a close as absolute zero as possible. They later transformed the atom into a Rydberg atom with a laser. This radius was almost double the radius of the normal distance of two atoms on the crystallization. This led to many major discussions about this topic. 
The first discussion between the scientist was a conclusion that the neutral charged atoms barely have an impression on this Rydberg atom due to its lack of charge. Additionally, the atom will not change into any other state of matter because of the scattered neutral atoms along its path. They think that this is very unusual because there is now an electron bonding neutral atoms. Finally, these Rydberg polarons can only happen at low temperatures because the heat tends to break the bonds. 
There is no doubt that this will still be explored. I say this because it is a very relevant topic and can help us in the future. This innovation and artificial quantum material can eventually be used in high efficiency computers. This is because the electrons can move at a millimeter-scale without using any of its energy. This will help the computer business because it will lead to a whole new world in energy efficiency and computation speed. Imagine yourself sitting at work and your computer wont load. With this your computer will never have this problem thanks to all this new cool research.

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 ...

Mahar-ullah Shahminah- Molecular Gastronomy

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 ...

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...
