Transportation means propelled by an engine (cars, planes, boats etc.), refrigerators, machine building industry and comfortable homes. How did humanity ended up being depended of all these? Well… the answer is already there since the Earth exist. It is given by Mother Nature and it comes from the clouds. It took a long time until... Continue Reading →
Have you ever looked up at the sky, noticed dark clouds, and predicted that rain was on the way, yet it never came? Why doesn’t rain when it should? Looking closely there is something interesting with rainwater, namely: it is not just water. When you collect rainwater, you will notice that it generally contains sediment; ... Continue Reading →
Until just about a century ago, except those with high interest to explore the world, regular people didn't use to travel on long distance far away from their homes. But in the last 100 years things have changed exponentially. Today everyone has the possibility to travel the world easily. We can use various ways to... Continue Reading →
Usually, matter is viewed as existing in one of the 4 main state forms — solid, liquid, gas, or plasma—depending on the conditions under which it is studied. In the solid state, substances are very orderly, with their particles (molecules, atoms, or ions) arranged in highly organized ways. Therefore in a solid, the atoms or... Continue Reading →
Glue is an adhesive substance used for sticking objects made of the same or different materials together. Nowadays there are various types of glues used in a large diversity of applications, the most frequently used types are known as PSA ( Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives). Yet the intellectual journey of glue discovery starts with rubber. This belongs... Continue Reading →
One of the most iconic engineering marvel ever build by humans is the thing that makes us fly: the plane. For some people flying is not really a comfortable experience, for others it’s an interesting adventure, usually a pleasant one. However as humans we all know that we cannot fly naturally like birds do. We... Continue Reading →
Adhesive bonding is one of the oldest method by which materials can be joined to generate assemblies. Besides this, it continues to be used is an alternative to more traditional mechanical methods of joining materials, such as nails, rivets, screws, etc. Use of adhesives is described in ancient Egypt and in the Bible, the early...

The Periodic Table currently contains 118 elements. Individually these elements have unique properties and structures. Yet in most cases single elements are rarely used, some of them are artificially created in so tiny quantities that many of their characteristics are still unknown. Usually most elements combine between them to create new materials with new properties... Continue Reading →
When we eat things such fruits and vegetables, except that sometimes we cook them before eating, we usually consume these things without much technical preparation. Especially fruits, we just wash them a little bit before eating and that's it, we consume them in their natural raw state. The food we cook the most is meat... Continue Reading →
Chocolate is not food. Chocolate is a material. You can create things out of chocolate exactly like you do with any other material such as plastic, metal, glass, wood, ceramics or concrete. Except that chocolate is the only one material which is delicious. It is a soft material with good enough mechanical strength, is quite... Continue Reading →
