What is antigravity? From the hoverboards of Back to the Future to the gravity guns of Half-Life 2, science fiction is peppered with antigravity technology. In the real world of peer-reviewed studies, corporate-funded labs and general relativity, however, antigravity is a dirty word. Gravity, you undoubtedly remember, is the attractive force between objects. It holds you to the planet and keeps the planet orbiting around the sun.

- Photosensitivity (or sun sensitivity) is inflammation of the skin induced by the combination of sunlight and certain medications or substances.This causes redness (erythema) of the skin and may look similar to sunburn.un-sensitizing drugs (photosensitivity) facts. 1  Many common medications may cause a reaction in some individuals that is similar to sunburn. 2  Symptoms of sun sensitivity are similar to those of sunburn. 3  The phototoxic reactions may happen within hours of exposure to sun.

- Corrosion has been the subject of scientific study for more than 150 years. It is a. naturally occurring phenomenon commonly defined as the deterioration of a. material (usually a metal) or its properties because of a reaction with its. environment. Like other natural hazards such as earthquakes or severe weather.

What is emissivity and why is it important? (FAQ - Thermal) Emissivity is defined as the ratio of the energy radiated from a material's surface to that radiated from a blackbody (a perfect emitter) at the same temperature and wavelength and under the same viewing conditions. It is a dimensionless number between 0 (for a perfect reflector) and 1 (for a perfect emitter).

Photosensitivity Photosensitivity is an extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun and other light sources. Most people are at risk of developing sunburn during long exposure to sunlight. Exposure to UV rays from the sun can also lead to skin damage and skin cancer.

How to Prevent Rust Rust is a form of iron oxide. It occurs when iron combines with the oxygen in the air causing it to corrode. Rust can affect iron and its alloys, including steel. The main catalyst for rust to occur is water. Although iron and steel structures seem solid to the eye, water molecules are able to penetrate microscopic gaps in the metal. This starts the process of corrosion.

Definition of 'corrosion' Corrosion is the damage that is caused when something is corroded. 1  Zinc is used to protect other metals from corrosion. 2  Rust or ferric oxide is a product of corrosion. 3  When metals are exposed to atmospheric conditions, they react with air or water in the environment to form undesirable compounds.

Corrosion Corrosion is a natural process, which converts refined metal to their more stable oxide. It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metals) by chemical reaction with their environment.

Corrosion Many structural alloys corrode merely from exposure to moisture in air, but the process can be strongly affected by exposure to certain substances. Corrosion can be concentrated locally to form a pit or crack, or it can extend across a wide area more or less uniformly corroding the surface.orrosion can also occur in materials other than metals, such as ceramics or polymers, although in this context, the term degradation is more common.

Nautical & Sailing Terms & Nomenclature When two different metals, such as aluminum and steel, are in contact within concrete, corrosion can occur because each metal has a unique electrochemical potential. A familiar type of dissimilar metal corrosion occurs in an ordinary flashlight battery.he zinc case and carbon rod are the two metals, and the moist paste acts as the electrolyte. When the carbon and zinc are connected by a wire, current flows. In reinforced concrete, dissimilar metal corrosion can occur in balconies where embedded aluminum railings are in contact with the reinforcing steel.

DEFINITION of 'Privity' DEFINITION of 'Privity'. A legal interpretation in contract law where contracts are only binding on the parties signing the contract. The idea is that, contracts are private agreements among the signatory parties which should have no bearing on others who are not involved in making the contract.

What is the sole difference between Corrosion and Tarnish in reference to metals? Many structural alloys corrode merely from exposure to moisture in air, but the process can be strongly affected by exposure to certain substances. Corrosion can be concentrated locally to form a pit or crack, or it can extend across a wide area more or less uniformly corroding the surface.

Typewriter The first typewriter to be commercially successful was invented in 1868 by Americans Christopher Latham Sholes, Carlos Glidden and Samuel W. Soule in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, although Sholes soon disowned the machine and refused to use, or even to recommend it.n 1865, Rev. Rasmus Malling-Hansen of Denmark invented the Hansen Writing Ball, which went into commercial production in 1870 and was the first commercially sold typewriter. It was a success in Europe and was reported as being used in offices in London as late as 1909.

EPA May Expand RCRA Classification of Corrosives As defined in RCRA, corrosivity is a measure of how quickly and severely an aqueous (liquid) material will destroy human skin. Exposure to corrosive waste can cause skin damage, including chemical burns, hardening of tissue, and even complete destruction.2 Corrosivity is measured two ways under RCRA:

Privity of Contract Law and Legal Definition Privity of Contract refers to relationship between the parties to a contract which allows them to sue each other but prevents a third party from doing so. It is a doctrine of contract law that prevents any person from seeking the enforcement of a contract, or suing on its terms, unless they are a party to that contract.As a general rule, a contract cannot confer rights or impose obligations arising under it on any person except the parties to it.rivity of Contract refers to relationship between the parties to a contract which allows them to sue each other but prevents a third party from doing so.

- Like gold, it is a prized metal, both for its beauty and usefulness. Silver (atomic number 47) is sometimes found in the Earth as the mineral native silver. Its chemical symbol is Ag, after the Latin word Argentum. Silver has a bright, metallic luster, and when untarnished, has a white color.Silver is found combined with a number of different elements to form a variety of minerals and ores.he most important ore mineral of silver is argentite (Ag2S, silver sulfide). In the United States, Nevada is the leading producer of silver where it is a by-product of gold mining. Other significant world producers of silver are Mexico, Peru, Chile, and Canada.

What is corrosion? Corrosion is a chemical reaction in which molecules break down due  to a chemical reaction with its surroundings. Most often, corrosion  is the electro-chemical oxidation of… a metal (such as iron  corroding to form iron oxide, a.k.a. rust).    Corrosion is deterioration of a substance, usually metal.
