Sentences with phrase «keep water molecules»

They showed that there is a slight preference to keep water molecules intact.

A spin wave can be thought of as similar to an ocean wave, which keeps water molecules in essentially the same place while the energy is carried through the water, as opposed to an electric current, which can be envisioned as water flowing through a pipe, said principal investigator Kang L. Wang, UCLA's Raytheon Professor of Electrical Engineering and director of the Western Institute of Nanoelectronics (WIN).

A surfactant is the scientific name for an emulsifier, a.k.a. something that binds water and oil molecules together and keeps them from separating like an cheap vinaigrette.

Galactose oxidase achieves this configuration by forcing the copper atom to bind to five compounds — four amino acids and one water molecule — in a pyramid - shaped arrangement that keeps it a bit unsatisfied, looking for more action.

Fortunately Kappler has an answer in development: a breathable material with micropores small enough to keep out dangerous molecules, but just large enough to let out water molecules, so that I can stay comfortable for hours while I'm wading through pools of glowing green goo.

Two features make this polymer ultrastrong, Sachleben told Live Science: Its molecules, or «beads,» are strongly attracted to one another; and hydrogen bonds — the same bonds found in DNA, as well as water molecules — keep the «beaded strings» tightly interlocked with their neighboring beaded strings, Sachleben said.

In the first design, the phosphonate groups were so strongly bound to the metal that they were preventing the water molecule from binding to the catalyst early enough to keep the process running smoothly.

Remember how water is passively diffused and relies on the bloodstream to keep those molecules flowing away from the gut?

This keeps the water in liquid form at a slightly higher temperature than normal which improves the speed at which the heat transfer through the food occurs via water molecules.

Lecithin is an emulsifier (used to keep fats / oils dispersed and in suspension): phospholipid molecules (such as lecithin) contain hydrophobic and hydrophilic elements; the hydrophobic portion has an affinity for fats and oils, and the hydrophilic portion has an affinity for water.

They hold onto water molecules that keep cartilage flexible, and they stimulate the chondrocytes to remove debris and to form new cells.

just a small example: rain washes CO2 from the air into the sea - > water turns CO2 into carbonic acid - > coral absorbs that compound — > keeps the carbon for itself - > releases the oxygen from the CO2 molecule, to replenish the seawater with oxygen.

But if more glowing H20 enter the surface as compared to those exiting, one should add heat to surface [and keep in mind gas molecules do pass thru the water skin surface].

The fact that air movements are mainly near horizontal rather than vertical slows down the adiabatic lapse rate considerably thus keeping the air molecules closer together for longer — It is also likely that temperatures would be cooler without Water Vapour.

The end result is there's virtually no heating beyond the first few micrometers and the molecules near the surface just keep picking up more and more energy as latent heat until they have enough energy to vaporize and then they leave the surface and quickly convect upwards because water vapor is lighter than air.

Dave Springer says: ``... the molecules near the surface just keep picking up more and more energy as latent heat until they have enough energy to vaporize and then they leave the surface and quickly convect upwards because water vapor is lighter than air.
