Sentences with phrase «highly reactive chemicals»

The «Fuels of Freedom» are non-toxic, chemically inert but readily react with oxygen, halogens and several other highly reactive chemicals such as ozone, noncorrosive, highly portable, and can be stored indefinitely in sealed containers (e.g., steel drums) and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in large tanks.

Genetic damage can occur because of thermal changes, radiation, viruses or the presence of highly reactive chemicals.

Previous research has also shown that short - term fasting can produce molecules called free radicals, which are highly reactive chemicals that can cause damage to the body at a cellular and may be associated with impaired organ function, cancer risk and accelerated aging.

Even more surprising, they generate their weapons — highly reactive chemicals — by oxidizing, or burning, water.

That's the conclusion of two independent studies that indirectly tracked concentrations of hydroxyl, a highly reactive chemical that rips methane molecules apart.

Not exact matches

In this case, he was testing the idea that a buildup of cellular damage caused by oxidation — technically, the chemical removal of electrons from a molecule by highly reactive compounds, such as free radicals — is the main mechanism behind aging.

What industrial chemists did know was that by tinkering with a highly reactive molecule called a phenol they were able to devise countless synthetic chemicals for use in new materials.

These double bonds are inherently unstable, which makes the triglycerides highly reactive with other chemicals.

Iron is highly reactive so it probably subjects neurons to chemical stress, says team member Scott Ayton.

Through a series of models and experiments, she has demonstrated that ultraviolet radiation can break chemical bonds and split molecules into highly reactive fragments called radicals.

Typically, molecules like these are highly reactive with other chemicals, meaning they quickly break down in planetary atmospheres.

«Some imaging studies using mouse models of Alzheimer's disease had revealed the presence in these mice's brains of tiny, mysterious black dots that could signal the presence of iron, an element that shows up dark under MRI and, in certain chemical forms, can be highly reactive and inflammation - inducing,» Rutt said.

O2 is highly reactive and attaches itself to other chemicals like hydrogen (creating water) and carbon (creating carbon dioxide) very quickly.

Platinum is a highly reactive and in - demand catalyst across the chemical and energy industries, but a team of University of Wisconsin — Madison and Georgia Institute of Technology scientists could reduce the world's dependence on this scarce and expensive metal.

Free radicals are highly reactive compounds produced in response to normal metabolic functions as well as in response to air pollutants, tobacco smoke, sunlight, damaged fats, noise, chemical exposure and other environmental stressors.

The chemical structure of polyunsaturated oils is such that there are unpaired electrons for every carbon - carbon double bond which are highly reactive if heated or processed in any way.

That cooling leads to cloud formation inside the vortex and the ensuing chemical reactions that produce highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons.

For example, early global chemical modelling results argued that global tropospheric ozone, a greenhouse gas, was controlled by emissions of the highly reactive gases nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC, also known as volatile organic compounds, VOC).
