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.

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?

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.

That story from the Sun in the OP is a hoax http://idiotforever.wordpress.com/2009/03/31/how-i-duped-the-sun/

Well, I think that's a crazy comparision. Car accidents are usually a random phenomenon, and not a result of a deliberate act by a trusted member of society. IMO, it's like saying that we shouldn't worry about incidents of terrorism when compared to accidental falls, because the number of...

I remember reading something where a circuit was evolved using FPGA's to distinguish between two signals of distinct frequencies, and the result was similar to what you described. Is it this article? http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/users/adrianth/cacm99/paper.html

Why is not true, in this instance? The police officer had no justification for his behaviour, irrespective of the behavior of the girl (who was a minor, and did not pose any physical threat). I think this officer deserves 100% of the blame. Why is that? I think that it's important to give...

Saw this and was disgusted. Placed??! :mad: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/401779_schene28.html
