Icosahedron

conjecture on the stability of C60 was established by Osawa and Yoshida where the aromatic characteristic of C60 was described further. The stability was further better-explained when the Hückel’s calculation method was applied and introduced to the icosahedron structure of C60 by Bochvar and Gal’pern [2]. The prediction of fullerene structure was discussed based on graphite balloon speculation made by David Jones using pseudonym of Daedalus in a journal, The Scientist [3]. This speculation was essentially

The word “philosophy”, comes from the Ancient Greek word (Phileo), meaning “to love” or “to befriend” and (Sophia), meaning “wisdom”; making philosophy stand for “the love of wisdom”. Philosophy is about understanding the fundamental truths about ourselves, the world in which we live in, and our relationships to the world and amongst each other. It is the study of general problems connected with existence, values, language, and mind. Those who study philosophy (philosophers), engage in asking, answering

Leonardo da Vinci and the Mona Lisa, both influential and intriguing, for the world. Leonardo da Vinci and The Mona Lisa relate to the history we learn today because it occurred in the Renaissance period. The Renaissance period occurred from 1300 to 1700 C.E. Important to realize, that the Renaissance was the “rebirth” of Classical Culture that occurred in Italy and Flanders. During this time period, many aspects were favored such as patrons. Patrons in this era were financial supporters of the arts

There are eight herpes viruses that infect humans. Many of the herpes viruses are neurotropic meaning that they infect the nervous tissue. These viruses are termed alpha-herpes viruses. All herpes viruses have similar structure. They all have icosahedron envelope, the matrix and the capsid. The virus seems to replicate the immune defense of its host to insure successful replication. All the herpes viruses share common features like replication strategies. Each herpes viruses is different but we

The foundation of modern physics, mechanics, acoustics, and planetary astronomy were all established in the seventeenth century. A number of the most important and influential scientists in the Renaissance were deeply interested in music and the physics of sound. These included Galileo Galilei, Marin Mersenne, Rene Descartes, Isaac Beeckman, Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, John Wallis, and Christiaan Huygens. Since music was considered one of the four disciplines in the quadrivium, and a branch of

I lifted my closed hand. In front of me was a grand wooden door, a barrier which stood between me and my best friend. All I would have to do was knock and it would be answered. However, glancing down at my black rubbery glove, I hesitated. Over the phone, I could tell from Sylvia 's voice that something had been wrong. She wanted to talk to me about something, something that soundly horribly, horribly broken, but had refused to inform me of what it was. It was said through hopeless tears, pathetic

Johannes Kepler: A Man of Math Johannes Kepler was born in a small town in Germany during the late sixteenth century. His discoveries helped change the world and influence people such as Isaac Newton who actually derived his universal law of gravitation from Kepler’s Laws. Kepler learned many things such as what causes the oceans tides and had his own version of Fermat’s Last Theorem called Kepler’s Last Theorem. Kepler even proved logarithms and developed volumes of solids by revolution which contributed

In general, the Buckminster Fullerene is the third allotropic form of Carbon, with the other two being Graphite and Diamond. The more proper term used to describe these compounds in regards to Carbon compounds would be Graphenes. (22) The Buckminster Fullerene was first discovered in 1985 by scientists Harold Kroto, Rickard Smalley and Robert Curl. (1) They were able to discover that when Graphite is vaporized by a laser, a variety of large Carbon cluster compounds were formed, the C60 compound

Plato wrote nearly 30 dialogues, most of which focused on his predecessor, Socrates. His earlier works focused on Socrates Theories, or the Socratic method, while his later works focused on his own laws and Xenophon 's Hiero. Some of Plato 's dialogues include the Meno, Symposium, Republic, and the Phaedo. The Socratic method is a form of inquiry and discussion between individuals based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to generate ideas. This paper is going to

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a contemporary astrophysicist, cosmologist, author, and television host. He is best known for starring in numerous television shows explaining the universe in terms of physics. He states, “During our brief stay on planet Earth, we owe ourselves and our descendants the opportunity to explore — in part because it 's fun to do. But there 's a far nobler reason. The day our knowledge of the cosmos ceases to expand, we risk regressing to the childish view that the universe figuratively
