Interesting Topic

The topic that still interest me the most is metal rubber. I think it is the most interesting because we have finally found something that is malleable but at the same time it is indestructible. I think that by creating this new material, we could use it to cover space shuttles or airplanes so that if they crash, their exterior will not be damaged and everyone will be safe. Or, metal rubber could be used for many other countless things. Using this new material, we could make things a lot safer for everyone, and we could build things that last longer and that are not easily damaged. This is why I think that metal rubber is the most interesting topic that I could write on.

I visited these blogs

Going through the different blogs, I found many interesting topics that ranged from many different branches of chemistry. Some of the most interesting ones were about how fireworks are made up and how their colors are made, how heating plastic bottles can affect one's health, how mood rings work, how many different things we could change through time travel, and many others. The ones that really intrigued me were that fireworks take up a lot of work to make and how they have changed since they were first made. The other topic that intrigued me was that by heating up plastic bottles, our health was actually in danger. I did not know of this until I saw it on Nick's blog and it sort of took me by surprise because something that we use everyday that we did not think to be so harmful was actually endangering our very lives. 

I visited Nick's blog, Kate's blog, Reiss' blog, and Ben's blog.

Interesting Chemistry Topics

Surfing through the web, I found some very cool things that scientist do that involves chemistry. One of them was the invention of a particle accelerator. The particle accelerator is based on the string theory that every particle can be described as a string and that it suggests the idea that there are six or seven more dimensions in addition to the ones we already know.

Another cool thing I found was a material invented that is called metal rubber. It is indestructible, and it can be frozen, heated, stretched, washed, and it is an electricity conductor. 

Something else that is cool is what are called T-rays. T-rays are pulses of terahertz radiation that are used to find old paintings or murals that have been hidden beneath plaster or other stuff. 

Another thing that is cool is that a group of chemists have found a use for the deadly carbon monoxide. If this compound is given in small doses that are dissolved in water, it could help patients who have undergone any organ surgeries or people who have high blood pressure because it is able to reduce inflammation, widen blood vessels, and increase blood flow.

Finally, a team of chemists have found a way to store or catch gases and to make the process of catching, storing, and transporting gases safer and more efficient.

I think the coolest thing I found was the metal rubber because something that is both indestructible but flexible can be used in society for a lot of purposes. One of the purposes it can be used for would be to add it to portable technology because something may happen to it, but if it has metal rubber, it can fall on the ground and nothing would happen to it. Also it could be used to make cars or airplanes so if they crashed they would just bounce back up again and there would be no damage.
