Sentences with phrase «immense volumes of gases»

An international collaboration of scientists led by Omar Yaghi, a chemist with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), has developed a technique they dubbed «gas adsorption crystallography» that provides a new way to study the process by which metal - organic frameworks (MOFs)-- 3D crystals with extraordinarily large internal surface areas — are able to store immense volumes of gases such a carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane.

Not exact matches

They called carbon dioxide, and oxygen and nitrogen, «ideal gases», and said they behave as per basic ideal gas description (pre Van der Waals), in other words, they have taken all the properties and process of real gases out of their «gases» and reduced them to hard dots with no mass, (no volume, weight or attraction and therefore nothing to be subject to gravity), and they say these travel at great speeds through empty space as per ideal gas, bouncing off each other in elastic collisions and so «thoroughly mixing» that they can't be unmixed (without an immense amount of work being done, so for all practical purposes can not be unmixed).
