How Helium-3 Fusion Powers Spacecraft Generators

Helium is an inert gas, is super light, is the second most abundant element in the universe (after hydrogen), yet on Earth, Helium is scarce, is a non-renewable resource and is very expensive to produce.One of its isotopes even more rare an precious is Helium-3. If we could somehow get more Helium-3, our dream about... Continue Reading →

Why scientists are worried about running out of Helium?

Helium is something of a bizarre contradiction here on Earth. Although it’s the 2nd most abundant element in the universe as a whole, combining with hydrogen (the most abundant) to form an estimated 99% of all known matter that’s out there… helium is becoming increasingly rare on Earth. The main reason for that is because... Continue Reading →

Do Airplanes Really Affect Global Warming?

At least in the last  2 decades we often see damages created after heavy rains worldwide. Extreme weather seems to make the headlines almost every week, as disasters increasingly strike out of season, break records, and hit places they never have before. Decades of scientific research has proven that human-caused climate change is making some... Continue Reading →

How Cloud Seeding Affects Rainfall and Weather Patterns.

Human life depends on rain. Rain is the source of freshwater for many cultures where rivers, lakes, or aquifers are not easily accessible. Rain makes modern life possible by providing water for agriculture, industry, hygiene, and electrical energy. Governments, groups, and individuals collect rain for personal and public use. Rain is in general a natural phenomenon and occurs on Earth regularly. Yet for rain... Continue Reading →

How Entropy Shapes Our Understanding of Rain

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 →

How Cloud Seeding Works to Induce Rainfall?

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 →

Are Planes Safe During Lightning Strikes?

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 →

What Are Liquid Crystals? Insights into a Unique State of Matter.

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 →
