    Carbon fibre-reinforced carbon (aka carboncarbon‚ abbreviated C/C) is a composite material consisting of carbon fibre reinforcement in a matrix of graphite. It was developed for the nose cones of intercontinental ballistic missiles‚ and is most widely known as the material for the nose cone and wing leading edges of the Space Shuttle orbiter. It has been used in the brake systems of Formula One racing cars since 1976; carboncarbon brake discs and pads are a standard component of Formula One brake

Deoxyribose-containing nucleotides are the monomers of DNA RNA Nucleotide [pic] The left picture shows the nucleotide unit of RNA. Nucleotides differ from nucleosides in that they have phosphate groups. Nucleotides can exist in the mono-‚ di-‚ or tri-phosphorylated forms. The most common site of phosphorylation of nucleotides found in cells is the hydroxyl group attached to the 5’-carbon of the

    Carbon is a part of your daily life Alice Cui E10M Carbon plays an essential role in people’s daily life. The cosmetics we use‚ the food additives we consume in snacks‚ the diamond we wear on our ring‚ the oil we use to fuel our cars‚ and even the DNA in our body are made up of carbon. The reason carbon exist in so many substances is its electron configuration. Carbon has 4 valence electrons and that means it can lose or gain electron to form stable structure easily. In this essay‚ I am going to

    Speech I. The history of molecular gastronomy Molecular gastronomy is a new discipline about food science. This science investigates‚ explains and makes practical use of the physical and chemical transformations of ingredients that take place while cooking. But the truth is‚ using this science in cooking is not new. Pioneer Professors Evelyn G. Halliday and Isabel T. Noble:  they said in their book “The main purpose of this book is to give an understanding of the chemical principles upon

    Molecular modelling is the general term used to describe the use of computers to construct molecules and perform a variety of calculations on these molecules in order to predict their chemical characteristics and behaviour. The term molecular modelling is often used synonymously with the term computational chemistry. Computational chemistry is a broader term‚ referring to any use of computers to study chemical systems. Some chemists use the term computational quantum chemistry to refer to the use
