Atmospheric electricity describes the electrical charges in the Earth's atmosphere (or that of another planet ). The movement of charge between the Earth's surface, the atmosphere, and the ionosphere is known as the global atmospheric electrical circuit. Atmospheric electricity is an interdisciplinary topic with a long history, involving ...
The adenylate energy charge is an index used to measure the energy status of biological cells . ATP or Mg-ATP is the principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in the cell : it is used for biosynthetic pathways, maintenance of transmembrane gradients, movement, cell division, etc... More than 90% of the ATP is produced by ...
Free energy suppression (or new energy suppression) is a conspiracy theory that technologically viable, pollution-free, no-cost energy sources are being suppressed by governments, corporations, or advocacy groups. [1] [2] Devices allegedly suppressed include perpetual motion machines, cold fusion generators, torus -based generators, reverse ...
In particle physics, every type of particle of "ordinary" matter (as opposed to antimatter) is associated with an antiparticle with the same mass but with opposite physical charges (such as electric charge ). For example, the antiparticle of the electron is the positron (also known as an antielectron). While the electron has a negative electric ...
A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon: An unnamed disease that causes the affected individual to change color/pattern when names of patterns are used. Cured and/or prevented by being yourself, or not hiding a part of yourself. (The girl in the story loves lima beans, but won't admit it for fear of being "weird".) Super-smallpox
Electromagnetism. Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it can move away by an electric current or electrical discharge. The word "static" is used to differentiate it from current electricity, where an electric charge flows through an electrical conductor.
Photoinduced charge separation. Photoinduced charge separation is the process of an electron in an atom or molecule, being excited to a higher energy level by the absorption of a photon and then leaving the atom or molecule to free space, or to a nearby electron acceptor .
The growth rates of solar and wind energy may have taken to the sky, but renewables alone won't stop climate change. Source: NASA. Renewable energy installations have soared in recent years. Wind ...
