Depleted uranium

Two benefits of nuclear fission technology for society are that significantly fewer amounts of greenhouses gases are being released into the atmosphere, compared to fossil fuels. This results in a slowed rate of pollution and global warming. Another benefit is that power created through nuclear fission is immense and is able to meet the demands of large and industrial cities as well as the suburban towns too. Also the energy is quick to create too, which means that immense amount of energy can…

Potassium is everywhere. It races through the bloodstream, drifts in the air, swims through the water, and rises up roots of plants. Furthermore, it is vital for life to exist on earth, from the grass lions, bears, and humans trample on every day, to the fish and plankton in the ocean. Without potassium, the ninetieth element on the periodic table with chemical symbol “K,” life would be immensely different today, notwithstanding any in the first place. Potassium functions a significant role in…

Manhattan Project may have ended WWII, it caused mass destruction, gave other countries the desire to create more powerful weapons of mass destruction, and was morally wrong. In 1938, three chemists in Berlin had made a huge discovery: they split the Uranium atom. The tremendous amount of energy released, or fission, was enough to power a highly destructive bomb (¨Nuclear Arms Race¨). This was the basis for the research and creation of the atomic bomb. In the race for the atomic…

The first woman to win a noble prize for not just Physics but Chemistry too, would have a dramatic impact on the world as we know it today. Marie Salomea Sklodowska was a polish scientist, born on November 7, 1867 in Warsaw, Congress Kingdom of Poland, Russia. Marie’s mother, Bronislawa, and father, Wladyslaw, were both teachers and wanted Marie to have an education. During school when Marie became fascinated with the art of science Marie’s parents were extremely encouraging and supportive.…

Nuclear energy is the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion. Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which a heavy nucleus splits spontaneously or on impact with another particle, with the release of energy. Nuclear fusion on the contrary is the exact opposite; it gathers energy from the heavy nucleus combining with the shot particle. These two combined produce a lot of energy that is used all over the world on a daily basis. Nuclear power has proved to serve a huge part of our…

In our time and age, many inventions depend on the use of static electricity such as printers, photocopiers , pollutant removers and even spray painting. Now imagine how our world would differ if we did not have the implementation of static electricity in inventions such as photo copiers or printers. These simple inventions solve big problems. What is static electricity? How do printers work? Why do we need Printers? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the use of printers? These factors…

Abstract: My research paper is covering the different theories covering the origins of life. Primordial Soup: The primordial soup theory says that life began in a lake or ocean as a combination of chemicals created amino acids, and from there life evolved. A Russian chemist named A.I. oprin and an English geneticist named J.B.S. Haldane came up with this theory in 1920. to test this theory they collected and mixed elements thought to be on earth at the time and sparked the mixture with…

Uranium Paetyn Blockhus Why do you think people thought when they first discovered uranium? The warfare has changed when uranium was introduced. The discovery of radioactivity and other things in uranium has been discovered over the years. The size and weight of uranium is one of its many characteristics. The world had changed when they started using and mining uranium. The fun facts of uranium are truly surprising. Uranium is an…

The Life of Ashton Stamper Due: November 7 4 odd Definition of honor High respect. My definition people who have honor are respected well and known. Benjamin Thompson was a physicist and inventor who was a founder of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. While in the military Thompson noted that during the process of boring cannons, the metal turned red hot and even boiled the water used to keep it cool. The explanation was that if the metal broke into pieces the caloric is liberated…

“I'm not trying to be pro-nuclear, I'm just pro-arithmetic” said David MacKay, while trying to explain that this was the only option at this point whether anyone liked it or not. The United States is on their toes trying to figure out the best routes to go to create energy: solar and wind, coal, or nuclear. Solar and wind are found to soon die out and have nothing left to support the United States. Coal is a resource which we are running low on and soon will not be able to find, then we have…
