Carbon is a marvel of nature. This element is absolutely impressive. First of all Carbon is the main reason why life on Earth exist. And second because carbon is capable of forming the most compounds , way much more than all the other elements in Periodic Table combined. Not only that but Carbon is even... 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 →
Understanding Liquid Properties: Viscosity, Surface Tension, and More
A liquid lacks both the strong spatial order of a solid, though it can have the high density of solids (a liquid has volume but doesn't have shape) and the absence of total disorder of a gas that results from the low density of gases i.e., gas molecules are relatively free of each other’s influence...

HOW CAN WE MAKE ANTIMATTER?
Antimatter is by far the most expensive and difficult stuff to get. The efficiency of antimatter production and storage is extremely low. Just to for context reference, about 1 billion times more energy is required to make antimatter than is finally contained in its mass. Using E = mc2, it was found that 1 gram... Continue Reading →
STATE OF MATTER – How atoms combine and create matter?
Matter is made of atoms and the way how they combine to create structures is fundamental knowledge for our understanding of everything in the universe. Well, just to generalize a little bit, because practically speaking this is a bit of overstatement. We are still far to understand "everything", for example we know almost nothing about...

What is Antimatter? Exploring Its Mysteries and Significance
Antimatter is not the stuff you interact with, the same as you do with matter. It was for long time and still is a hot topic for science fiction stories. However this stuff is experimantally confirmed to be real and it definitely worth to learn more about it. So what is it?. I will try... Continue Reading →
