ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my deepest appreciation and thanks to both of my advisors Dr. Gamini Sumanasekera, and Dr. Jacek Jasinski. I am grateful to Dr. Gamini for his great support and guidance throughout my entire PhD program. In science, he is exceptionally knowledgeable and has a great drive for developing homemade equipment and experimental setup as they become required in a project. I am also thankful to Dr. Jasinski whose invaluable mentoring and encouragement were vital to
published by Kenneth Chang. Within this article Kenneth Chang speaks about experiments being done at Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC. Which the researchers at Carnegie are compressing a numerous number of organic substances between diamond anvils allowing the researchers the ability to observe molecular changes, this research will allow scientists to analyze permutations of matter which are happening within the Earth's core and also within Jupiter and even other intensely pressurized environments
Material Synthesis: CS2 Catalyzed Ultrahard Fullerite Ultrahard materials is a broad category define by materials that are harder than diamond. Diamond, thought to be the hardest material for centuries hasn’t been the hardest material seen by scientists in a long time. Many materials have been developed or discovered recently that surpass the 150 GPa hardness of diamond by as much as 100%. There are many ways to measure the hardness of a material, from the classic scratch test to more complicated bulk
The Anasazi are the “ancestors of today’s Pueblo Indians” and they are from the four corners region, the corners of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah (Witze). They were able to produce a lot of crops even though they lived in an area of little rainfall. They learned to farm in barren lands. They were very artistic people. They are known for “their baskets and pottery and are highly admired by collectors” (“The Anasazi”). Most people know them because of their cliff dwellings. They built homes
