| Posted: 06 Oct 2017 01:37 AM PDT What kind of press would you need to make an ice cube like this? The Hydraulic Press channel can't make small crystals of Ice VI with their equipment, can they? I can't find much about this since the Roman numerals throw Google off and I just get results for regular ice. [link] [comments]  |

| Do Cells That Make Up The Brain Get Replaced? Posted: 05 Oct 2017 07:48 AM PDT Skin cells die and get replaced with new ones continuously. Does a similar process happen for cells that make up the human brain? [link] [comments]  |
| Is it possible that there is a net charge in the universe? Posted: 06 Oct 2017 01:50 AM PDT I was thinking that since we have more matter than anti matter, maybe there is also a possibility that there is either more positive or negative charge than the other. How easily would this be detectable? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2017 04:56 PM PDT I doubt a bunch of photons are bouncing around inside a leaf just waiting to be set free. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 06 Oct 2017 06:04 AM PDT To be more specific, why is there an emphasis on searching for a earth-sized exoplanet orbiting a star with similar mass/size/thermal output(?) to our Sun? Wouldn't searching for other things that could signify the possibility of life such as water, oxygen, or carbon be more effective? Searching for something similar to earth a bajillion light years away seems an odd condition to take into account. [link] [comments]  |

| [Physics] If 2 electrons collide, they may release a photon. Where does that energy come from? Posted: 05 Oct 2017 04:00 PM PDT Full disclosure: I know nothing, Jon Snow. If this question is nonsensical or too ambiguous, please let me know. I am currently reading "Hidden in Plain Sight". In one of its chapters, the author mentions that when 2 electrons collide, there is a chance that a photon is radiated. Now, as I understand it, energy cannot be created or destroyed. Photons most certainly contain energy -- so in this case, where does the energy (expressed "in" the photon) come from? My train of thought is as follows:
What am I missing? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Why is Cherenkov radiation constant but a sonic boom is not? Posted: 06 Oct 2017 01:31 AM PDT I read that they work the same way, but why does a sonic boom only produce one loud boom when Cherenkov radiation create a constant blue glow? Is it just because in Cherenkov radiation the 'boom' just happens over and over again? [link] [comments]  |

| Is gravity based on the size of an object? Or the mass/density of the object? Posted: 05 Oct 2017 07:07 PM PDT https://youtu.be/zHdJwBrT3WA?t=365 In the video above, its explained that object, when condensed (in this case, a star, example is a potato chip bag), creates a stronger gravitational pull when it is condensed. Is this true? I was always under the impression that its the size of the object that creates the gravity, not the mass/density of the object. Can someone help me understand? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2017 06:25 PM PDT On a phase diagram, I've learned that the coexistence curve at a phase boundary is where the chemical potential of the two phases are equal. This leads to the Clausius-Clayperon equation, which can be used to estimate vapor pressure at various temperatures. But say I was on the coexistence curve between liquid and vapor, and I increased the pressure (or decreased the temperature). I should now be solidly in the liquid region of the phase diagram, where the chemical potential of the liquid phase is lowest. Does that mean liquid is the only phase present? I've been told that vapor pressure exists for any liquid under any conditions. If there is vapor pressure despite the higher pressure, then aren't the two phases coexisting? Then why is the phase boundary called the "coexistence curve"? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| What happens to water when it becomes extremely compressed? Posted: 05 Oct 2017 11:55 AM PDT Google was no help since I couldn't find a video on it. Im thinking of a hydraulic press pressing into a large, metal cup of water, where water can't escape from, what will happen to it? [Apologies if this is the wrong tag, I made a guess between physics and Earth sciences] [link] [comments]  |
| Is crystallography a dead field? Posted: 05 Oct 2017 11:17 AM PDT With the rise of cryo-electron microscopy, is crystallography becoming redundant as a technique? [link] [comments]  |
| How do computer screens show color? Posted: 05 Oct 2017 06:02 PM PDT So from my understanding, computer screens actually use green, red and blue to display the color they do by activating our cones. I thought they flashed really fast so it kinda tricked our eyes. However my AP psychology teacher said it actually shows a color because of how condensed the pixels are so you can't actually see the individual colors.. So which one is actually correct? And if my teacher was correct wouldn't that mean you can't actually display a color on a single pixel? Sorry if this sounds stupid [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 05 Oct 2017 11:37 AM PDT As in, could you use plain old colored plastic filters to shift the color of a white or daylight LED light to wavelengths more friendly to plant growth? [link] [comments]  |
| [Engineering/Physics] How do thermonuclear warheads get decommissioned, without anything blowing up? Posted: 05 Oct 2017 11:33 AM PDT If it were opened by cutting action, wouldn't that trigger the conventional explosives inside (and the nuclear explosion too)? [link] [comments]  |
| How do fission and fusion both release energy? Posted: 05 Oct 2017 09:23 AM PDT Surely they're inverse operations? One should release and one should absorb? [link] [comments]  |
