The control of fire

The chemical equation resulting from the butane gas combustion is C4H10 + 132O2 è 4CO2 + 5H2O The Combustion is an exothermic chemical reaction between a substance (fuel) and a gas (combustion), usually oxygen, creating, in this particular case, the formation of carbon dioxide and water.

The science and engineering of materials and ceramics - Sustainable approaches. A game as a stimulus.

The importance of materials science and engineering is not always well understood by the general public. The classification of materials in metals, alloys, ceramics, glass, polymers and composites based on their composition and chemical bonding does not allow the importance of materials in technological development to be recognized. Functional classification is much more appealing, but it refers to the role of science and engineering of materials in the background.

The Aurora Named Steve

For the first time, scientists have ground and satellite views of STEVE (short for Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement), a thin purple ribbon of light. Scientists have now learned, despite its ordinary name, that STEVE may be an extraordinary puzzle piece in painting a better picture of how Earth's magnetic fields function and interact with charged particles in space.

Bottleflip Challenge

When the bottle moves in the air, the liquid inside it begins to walk up the sides. This action rises up the moment of water inertia and reduces its rotation speed. This phenomenon is similar to what happens to a diver when he jumps from the top of a board to the swimming-pool.
