...really hard situation to avoid because we work with such potentially hazardous materials," Evans says. "Part of the blame lies in the oversight of the manufacturer of the chemical, who neglected to note that the chemical needed to be stored at zero degrees Celsius. The accident resulted from a lack of understanding, both on the part of the supplier and the student...
Kohl's experiments initially focused on the electron, a relatively light subatomic particle, determining its temperature to be about 1 million degrees Celsius...
...alternative energy source that will not become practical for a long time, if it ever does, is nuclear fusion, which can use ordinary water as fuel. The difficulty is that fusion requires temperatures as high as hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius, and scientists have been unable to develop reactors that can handle that. Reports that some researchers achieved "cold fusion" at room temperature now produce more chuckles than heat...
According to the most conservative of atmospheric models, our gaseous waste products may lead to an average rise of global temperature by 1 to 4 degrees Celsius during the next 50 to 100 years. Other models are in place in the United States, Great Britain, and Japan, each of which is overseen by a group of scientists working daily to reduce this uncertainty...
