...getting into the pipe or a yet undiscovered water main break. He said the main concern was that asbestos was released into the air and that tests were being conducted. Police were wearing gas masks in the street. Bloomberg noted, however, that the enormous amount of steam and water vapor released had probably washed the asbestos out of the air. A clean-up was being planned. [On Thursday morning, city officials said there was no evidence of asbestos in the air but the substance had been found on the ground...
Although astronomers have been expecting to detect the presence of water vapor in the atmospheres of nearly all of the known extrasolar planets, most of these 200 or so planets orbit too closely to their parent star for observations to be made easily...
...findings show strong evidence for water’s presence in HD209458b’s atmosphere,” Barman said. “Now that we know that water vapor exists in the atmosphere of one extrasolar planet, it’s probably safe to say that other extrasolar planets also contain water vapor...
Still, creating a diamond semiconductor is no easy feat. Rather than trying to mimic the conditions under which diamond is generated deep in the earth, Apollo, Element Six and most of the other leading diamondmakers are relying on a process called chemical vapor deposition (CVD). It's a low-pressure, high-temperature method that uses heat energy from plasma and a combination of gases to rain carbon atoms on a starter seed of the gem, which gradually grows into a larger single-crystal diamond. CVD produces a more uniform, consistent diamond in sizes large enough to make an effective transistor...
...former Vice President dismissed people who doubt the science of global warming by likening them to "people who believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona." I believe the earth is warming, but Gore is unfair. Almost everyone ignores the fact that water vapor is the greatest contributor to greenhouse-gas warming. Maybe if Gore would recognize that we cannot control global warming as much as we think, we could set aside such relatively unimportant issues and move genocide and starvation to the top of the political agenda.
