Computer Aided Design & The 118 Elements

In this article Iet's talk about the most common type of solids: THE METALLIC SOLIDS. These are the ones which we use on daily basis. Just look around you and you'll notice that most man-made objects are either made of a metals or at least contain 1 metallic component. For example, your watch has metal... Continue Reading →
During the wintertime when it snows, if you are like most school kids, you get pretty excited about snowy days. On your day off, you might go outside and play in the snow as you watch the snowflakes fall. When a snowflake lands on your gloved hands, you can see the shape of the snowflake... Continue Reading →
The category of solids you'll read about next has very much to do with our food, simply because eat them. These are THE IONIC SOLIDS. Let just start with an example. Have you ever used Epsom salt to help with muscle soreness and stress? If you do, then let me tell you that Epsom salt... Continue Reading →
Solid is the 1st state of matter and also the most studied and used. Anyone entering into materials science engineering the 1st stage of study starts with learning and understanding solids. In my previous article I was briefly introducing the concept of SOLID, what is it, how does it occur and what are it main... Continue Reading →
The Periodic Table of Elements contains 118 elements we currently have knowledge about. 92 of them occur naturally on Earth , all the rest are artificially made. Most of the 118 elements at normal temperature (20°C) and pressure (1atm), occur in solid state, a few are gases and just 2 are liquid (mercury Hg and... Continue Reading →
When we travel by plane the cruising altitude is always above the clouds (at around 12.000 meters high). If your flight is on a full sunny day and you look downwards though the window at that height you either see the ground below or a white blanket of clouds. But that will quickly becomes boring,...

After, Water and Tea, the 3rd one most consumed refreshment drink must be the COFFEE. At some point I am tempted to put coffee in the same position with tea as both being the 2nd most consumed drinks on the planet, but I guess Tea better deserves the 2nd place. Like Tea, making a good... Continue Reading →
I am sure most people will say, what's so much of science to make a good tea? Should not be a big deal, simply take a bag of tea or tea leafs and put it in a cup with boiled water, then add some sweetener and done. The tea is ready. Right? Well... things are... Continue Reading →
Air-conditioning systems are essentially refrigerators for air. In your car, for instance, the air-conditioning system passes the cabin air over copper tubes containing refrigerant, thus cooling the air. Cool air can’t maintain a high concentration of water, which is why water droplets form on air conditioners (this is also why clouds form as air rises... Continue Reading →
There is no better example to start a topic about cooling fluids than aircrafts. We all have today the option to travel by plane anytime and anywhere in the world. When you do that, of course maybe the only inconvenient you might have is that you must sit and keep the seat belt tighten during... Continue Reading →
