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...

Asphalt (bitumen) composites are the most common material used to surface roads, with 95% of EU roads paved with asphalt mixtures. Its success is due to a combination of factors that have been widely studied, such as: it creates a safe and robust road surface for driving when combined with stone aggregates and appropriate polymer...

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...

When we talk about how humans behave in relation with water, there are 2 categories of people: Those who love water, therefore they love to swim Those who are afraid of water, therefore in most cases they don’t know how to swim. Myself I am a swimmer since I was 9 year old. And by... Continue Reading →
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 →
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...

In a world where we say we value creativity and give out medals to reward its success, it’s odd that we still use gold, silver and bronze to do so. In a world where we have industrialized so many materials, including those we used to hold sacred, such as gold and diamond, I like to... Continue Reading →
The answer to the question in headline is: NO. What you'll read next is the reason why not. Basically it's quite simple to grasp why this is out of reach. First of all is because we don’t know much about it, and second we simply don’t quite understand how antimatter behaves really nor we could... Continue Reading →
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 →
Periodic Table of Elements represents our knowledge about matter. There is still a lot to learn about and new stuff to discover but in general we are quite familiar with matter. We know well that ordinary matter is the familiar stuff, which makes air, rocks, and living things. But the opposite as we call it... Continue Reading →
