Learn the basics about the principle of green chemistry that considers reducing derivatives, as a part of environmental chemistry. Functional groups are the sites in a molecule where a reaction occurs. Some molecules may have more than one functional group which may be a problem if you’re carrying
In the last few weeks I was busy working in my small forest. I removed some dead trees and then sawed and chopped the wood. Now I had to find out how moist the wood actually should be and how I can measure the so-called residual moisture. I decided to buy a small, handy device from Brennenstuhl for

Have you ever expected yourself to succeed in making life changes, however, you do not designate any time or mental space to accomplish them? This is an example of self sabotage. So, how to stop sabotaging ourselves? Let’s delve into the ways together, shall we? Disclaimer: The information in this
Our body is a pretty fantastic feat of engineering. But how does it work? How do all of the different components come together to keep us alive, keep us functioning and achieving our goals? In this video we are going to look at the levels of organisation in organisms, from smaller than cells to bigg
For life to develop, it needs amino acids, sugars, bases and fats. In addition, RNA, an acid and a kind of chemical Morse code - this is how chains with building blocks are created. But it is only a protective lipid shell that turns the chains into a cell. Author: ZDF/Terrax/R. Schlosshan/F. Hädeck
Anyone who wants to send and receive Bitcoins, a digital currency, needs a cryptocurrency wallet. Every wallet has a private key in the form of a numeric code that automatically signs transactions.

Solar eclipses result from the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Total solar eclipses — in which the Sun is completely blocked by the Moon — are a spectacular and rare sight to witness. In this animation adapted from NOVA, see why solar eclipses occur and observe a simulated total eclipse. This
