I expect the nanoparticle aggregate will simply precipitate out of solution when you mix them together if you use the same solution. If you're trying to structure a multi-layer of nanoparticles though, that can be done using the Layer-by-Layer technique, if you sequentially dip a substrate into...

It depends on the type of oil you're using. Once you know the composition, you should be able to look it up online, or in any materials handbook.

Nice to hear from everyone (and happy birthday Evo!). I might be able to participate more in the science/engineering forums now, so looking forward to that

Hey everybody! I used to visit physicsforums a long while ago when I was in high school/undergrad (if anyone remembers!) and grew to love it immediately. I have been away for a long while since then due to lots and lots of work, but things have worked out quite well so far and I'm now well...

'Undergrad course'? So is the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary an accredited university, which hands out degrees? I pity the students who're studying there.

I thought I had posted before, but I can't find it, so I'll mention Firefly again. Firefly was really special, and possibly the best TV show I've ever seen. There's also a movie based on the show called Serenity, which is pretty good.

Firefly is the best series I've ever seen. And Serenity was a very good sci-fi film.

Maybe using a natural process which is random, like the decay of an atom. If there's geiger counter connected to a computer, and tracks the delay between individual decays. There are also tests for randomness which may give a pretty good idea of how random a sequence of numbers generated by a...

Really? Why?

And what are the AHS actually trying to do? http://www.ahsstudents.org.uk/press/releases/3 Not so bad now, eh?

I think an important point to keep in mind was that there was little option to be non-religious during those times. Science was still in its infancy. For example, there wasn't a theory of evolution, or abiogenesis. Then, scientists/people who did not share the view of the church were likely to...

If this isn't your belief, why are you wasting time arguing it? The nonsensical aspect of it is determined by any standard of modern ethics. What you're arguing here is exactly analogous to cultural relativism. I gave you a clear example why it doesn't work (ie, the stoning example).

It's not a matter of pure opinion. Many of the claims put forward by those opposing gay marriage can be refuted objectively by empirical evidence. For example, where's the logic, or the empirical evidence, that gay marriage will lead to bestiality? It's a nonsense argument. I disagree. People...

Um... no. Not all opinions have equal value. Some are based on logical reasoning and rationality, and some are based on flawed reasoning, which are clearly incorrect.
