[ad_1] With the year drawing to a close, we’re running out of things to distract ourselves from the fact that 2020 is the strangest year ever. We have Thanksgiving and Christmas, but we need more. We watched all the shows, made all the recipes, did all the workouts at home. …

[ad_1] LLNL researchers used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study the polymerization of three different molecules of the same reactive group (acrylate) but containing different non-reactive components. Shown “snapshots” from an MD simulation of a liquid monomer as it polymerizes and gradually becomes a solid, revealing the emergence of a …

Today, scientists from the Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale (CNRS / Université Paris-Saclay) may have …

[ad_1] A new study has revealed that water on Mars formed billions of years ago. According to a team of Japanese researchers, water is believed to have originated on the red plant at least 4.4 billion years ago. The researchers said they came to this conclusion after analyzing meteorites from …

Furthermore, they were able to identify a parameter that will help find other structures with high refractive coefficients. This discovery will take us one step closer to developing compact and efficient elements for optical computers: …

[ad_1] Time change in monthly averages of the change ratio of atmospheric CO2 to CH4 in January, February and March observed on Hateruma Island since 1998. The thick gray line represents the smoothed trend curve and the shaded area represents the 95% range variations from the trend curve. The solid, …

[ad_1] The asteroid in question, named (101429) 1998 VF31, is part of a group of Trojan asteroids that share the orbit of Mars. Trojans are celestial bodies that fall into gravitationally balanced regions of space in proximity to other planets, located 60 degrees in front of and behind the planet. …
