considerable attention in efforts to keep fruits and veggies fresher longer due to its action killing bacteria that cause produce to rot by spraying green bananas with chitosan aerogel‚ we can keep bananas fresh for up to 12 days. This is the way to keep bananas green for a longer time to inhibit the rapid ripening that occurs. Aerogel chitosan coating could be used at home by consumers‚ in supermarkets or during the shipment of bananas.

The Final Frontier: The benefits of space exploration to provide a better life on Earth. Man once dreamt of flying‚ of touching the night sky and trampling the dirt on the surface of the moon. And for a long time we kept thinking it was only a dream. But on the 4th October 1957‚ Russia launched Sputnik 1‚ the first satellite into the depth of space‚ officially starting off the space age for us. And then on the 20th of July 1963‚ Neil Armstrong steps off onto the moon’s surface with the now famous

Europa: Potential for life? In 1610‚ the famous scientist‚ Galileo Galilei‚ looked upon a tiny moon of Jupiter later named Europa. A tiny nondescript moon of Jupiter‚ it did not seem like an attractive place for life. Europa is known to be covered in ice and slightly smaller than the Earth’s moon. At first glance this tiny moon seems like an inhospitable place where life cannot exist. However lately the theory that life may be present in Europa has gained momentum. Despite the physical discrepancies

The process of naming compounds allows chemists to communicate formulae in words rather than in chemical symbols. There are‚ however‚ a few rules about naming compounds which need to be known in order to write a formula in word form or translate a compound in word form into chemical symbols. Ionic compounds If the compound is ionic‚ then the name of the cation (usually metal) comes first‚ followed by the ’compound’ name of the anion. To find the compound name of an anion‚ replace the end of the
