The surfactant chemicals found in samples of fracking fluid collected in five states were no more toxic than substances commonly found in homes, according to a first-of-its-kind analysis by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. —Thurman et al. The authors caution that their results may not be applicable to all wells.

We start with a Bose-Einstein condensate, 1 million sodium atoms that share one and the same quantum-mechanical wave function”, says Martin Zwierlein , a professor of physics at MIT. The same thing would happen to a drop of water if I were to spin it up in the same way—the drop would elongate while spinning.”. Rick Duffy/Wikipedia.

Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan have developed a new system combining hydrodynamic cavitation with sodium percarbonate (SP) (an environmentally benign oxidation reagent) for the efficient pre-treatment of biomass. Focusing on this effect, researchers have tried to apply US to the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass.

And that’s the electrical part of the electrochemical nervous impulse. It’s basically the reason they say you’re 66 percent water or whatever. This is like sieve water. It’s got sodium, potassium, calcium, etc., It doesn’t really like sodium so much. Adee: Well, so Michael Levin is a professor at Tufts University.
