Introduction: Quantum physics, also known as quantum mechanics, is the branch of physics that uses quantum theory to predict and describe the properties of a physical system. While chemistry is the science of composition, properties, structures, and reactions of matter; it is also known as the ‘central science’. While reading the book Alice in Quantumland by Robert Gilmore, one is able to link the two together, causing a curiosity to learn more. It is amazing to see how the two correlate and…
Albert Einstein designed his own laws of nature. He changed the way we use to see light, gravity, and time. Most scientists in our day in age agree with what Albert Einstein has declared, but some scientists seemed to not understand what he was saying. Albert Einstein gave scientists the ability to know that atoms and molecules exist through Brownian motion. Albert was one who experimented the photoelectric effect in which he established that light has both a wave and a particle. Light particles…
people in England. He was well educated and attended the best English schools but did not hold any type of formal degree. After college, Henry began following his father’s scientific footsteps. Being a follower of Newtonian philosophy and Newtonian mechanics, he began conducting experiments in gases, electricity and gravity. In 1766, Henry won the Royal Society’s Copley Medal for factitious airs with Hydrogen being the most notable of his discovery. Several years later, Cavendish…
Jeremy Hsu's article, “Scientists Create First Ever Trap for Rainbows” (2009), asserts that anyone can capture rainbows. Hsu makes this argument by explaining how scientists have manipulated lens and other materials, such as glass, varying in thickness, size, and optical coating, to capture a rainbow when a laser beam was shone through it. Hsu’s motive is to inform readers of this discovery, which involves a rainbow, an optical phenomenon that has amazed people for several generations, in order…
One of the most important scientific discoveries is that of the atom. The Atom is the smallest unit of matter. “Atoms are mostly empty space” (OI/ https://www.thoughtco.com/interesting-facts-about-atoms-603817). It makes up all the four elements. “There are over 100 different kinds of atoms ”(OI/https://www.thoughtco.com/interesting-facts-about-atoms-603817).Over time the theories about the atom have changed a lot, moving from simple to complex. Before 1900, scientists made several…
Asal Bahmani 12.20.16 Franey//Adams Chem P.6 Going back through history the experiments, discoveries, and works of past scientists such as Democritus, Dalton, Thomson, and Rutherford have afforded us the opportunity to draw from their ideas to formulate a modern view and accurate understanding of the atom. Thanks to the evolution of atomic models. In the beginning, Democritus viewed the atom as a tiny, solid, round sphere, that was unable to be cut. He created the first model of an atom, that…
“Steel plates are commonly attached to each other with rivets, which are slipped into holes in the plates and rounded over with hammers. The hotness of the rivets makes them easier to round over, but their hotness has another important advantage in providing a tight fit. What is it? Explain why.” This relates to one of the characteristics of heat, in that heated objects expand, then contract when the temperature decreases, since the molecules move faster in heat and slow in the cold. The hot…
The definition of honor is high respect or esteem, my definition of honor is a person that is highly respected for doing something to contribute to the community. Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 to April 18, 1955) did many things during his lifetime he had many accomplishments and awards. Albert Einstein is highly respected by many people. Albert Einstein was physicist and mathematician who developed the theory of relativity. In 1921 Einstein won a Nobel Prize for physics and the photoelectric…
Keep batteries stored in LiPo-safe bags. How will you flow between the activities? Start with a whole group safety briefing and watch the Droneology videos all together on the projector. Break into teams to build, then come back together in P2 to talk through flight dynamics and essential terminology. Split to individual computers to take the Lesson 2 Quiz in C1. Come back together to watch the next batch of videos in C2 and end with a review of safety procedures in the DP. What does FPV stand…
Luis Miramontes was a famous Mexican chemist who invented birth control. He was born in March 16, 1925 at Tepic, Nayarit. His full name is Luis E. Miramontes Cardenas. At the National Autonomous University of Mexico, he received his first degree in chemical engineering. He was a researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in the Institute of Chemistry. He also was the faculty of chemistry there. Not only that, but he was the director and professor at the Universidad…
