Re: INTERESTING FACT OF THE DAY
Ok, so we're all aware of runing out of oil and coal.
But helium, another important and non-renewable resource, is also running out. Implications? No more MRI machines in hospitals (the superconducting magnets need liquid helium to work), the electronics industry who use helium when making pure silicon chips would need to find another resource (shouldnt be too hard, just use argon?!), no more NMR instruments in chemistry departments (same reason as the MRI instruments), no more helium filled balloons (back to hydrogen then  ) and a whole host of other applications requiring overhaul to adapt to using something other than helium......although, this wont happen for a while. Yet. Matt |

My interesting fact: the meniscus (surface layer)  of pure water is acidic; where as the main body is pH = 7 (neutral), the meniscus has been found to have a pH = 4.8Something nobody wanted to know Matt |

Related note. Wikipedia. Hot water has a lower pH than cold water but this does not mean it is more acidic. |
