This is interesting. So how is quantum tunneling achieved; and what process must be undergone to make it possible?

Hi, I have heard that fusion can generate power and potentially make breeder reactors obsolete; but to even bring atoms close enough to fuse, wouldn't take a significant amount of energy in the first place? I feel like we are allotting high voltage toward fusion and getting a lesser...

Nope. I am trying to find out what the white crust is; and how to know what percentage of hydrogen peroxide my solution has.

Thanks!

Hi, I have just concentrated some H2O2 from a diluted 3% concentration. I used it on a copper scrubbing pad earlier to test how well it would oxidize; but now there is a white, crusty substance where the H2O2 used to be. I then tested it on different surfaces, but every time it dries I get the...

I'd have to admit, this process is very dangerous; and must be done under a fume hood, perhaps with a gas mask, and possibly behind a blast sheild. Thank you for your concern! I will continue to take precautions when preforming. I personally think the production of silane gas is the most...

Thanks everyone! The isolation recipe involves mixing silica with magnesium and heating it ( to separate it into layers: magnesium, magnesium oxide, magnesium silicide, and purified silicon at the bottom ), then dropping it in in a diluted form of muriatic acid ( to get everything but the...

It is at least what I have heard from a chemistry major. There is a chance it may not be the most efficient way; but I assume it is a working method. A more efficient way would be to use the anthraquinone process (you can buy anthraquinone here ); but it is very expensive.

I suppose this would be an experiment.

Let's say I have an amount of freshly-isolated silicon in the bottom of a jar of water. I have heard it is usable for water filtration; but how else could I use this element, and with it could I make silicone? I have searched google on making silicone, but all I have found are subjects about...

If I recall correctly, one technique used to make H2O2 is to bubble pure oxygen up through water while sending electricity through it; as to compound an equal amount of H and O together. You may be able to increase the percentage of H2O2 based on how long this technique is executed. Energy (...

Hi. I am a new member, enjoy physics and chemistry, and am glad to be here. As much as I am inquisitive, I hope to be of some help to others on the forum.
