Hmmmmm

Fellow Scientists @ jonnydon, Teempakguy and other learned scientists, which area of Science and Technology should the Minister of Science and Technology give more attention to? considering the current state of the economy.



to me, I would want him to check how our space station can help in security issues, also, he should focus on how the ministry can use nuclear science to improve our power supply and prepare for war too. thirdly, he should, improve the current state of our Energy centres.

I can't say it all. over to you guys

Good for democrazy

Brb

bye till we meet to part no more

Very simple. check my analysis .
1 million seconds ago = 12 days ago

1 billion seconds ago = 32 years ago .
can you see the difference?

DREAM WORLD

The possible practical applications for graphene have received much attention. So far, most of them exist only in our fantasies, but many are already being tested, also by Geim and Novoselov themselves. Graphene’s conducting ability has spurred a great deal of interest. Graphene transistors are predicted to be substantially faster than those made out of silicon today. In order for computer chips to become faster and more energy efficient they have to be smaller. Silicon hits a size boundary where the material ceases to function. The limit for graphene is even lower, so graphene components could be packed on a chip more tightly than today. One milestone was passed a few years ago when its key component, a graphene transistor, was presented that was as fast as its silicon counterpart. Maybe we are on the verge of yet another miniaturization of electronics that will lead to computers becoming even more efficient in the future. So far, graphene computers are nothing but a distant dream, although paper-thin transparent computer monitors that can be rolled up and carried in a hand bag have already appeared in commercials for tomorrow’s consumer electronics. In the meantime we can only speculate about some of the more and some of the less realistic applications, all still requiring significant initiatives with their outcomes still being uncertain. Since graphene is practically transparent (up to nearly 98%) while simultaneously being able to conduct electricity, it would be suitable for the production of transparent touch screens, light panels and maybe even solar cells. Also plastics could be made into electronic conductors if only 1% of graphene were mixed into them. Likewise by mixing in just a fraction of a per mill of graphene, the heat resistance of plastics would increase by 30 ˚C while at the same time making them more mechanically robust. This resilience could be utilised in new super strong materials, which are also thin, elastic and lightweight. In the future, satellites, airplanes, and cars could be manufactured out of the new composite materials. The perfect structure of graphene also makes it suitable for the production of extremely sensitive sensors that could register even the smallest levels of pollution. Even a single molecule adsorbed to the graphene surface would be discovered.

AWAITING DISCOVERY

Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov could only obtain micro flakes of the new material. Despite the miniscule size they could now begin to investigate the two most remarkable traits of graphene, which both influence its electrical properties. The first is the nearly perfect composition of graphene. The error-free ordering is due to the strong bonding of the carbon atoms. At the same time, the bonds are flexible enough to allow the web to stretch by up to 20% of its original size. The lattice also enables electrons to travel long distances in graphene without disturbance. In normal conductors, electrons often bounce like the ball in a pinball machine. This bouncing weakens the performance of the conductor. The other unique trait of graphene is that its electrons behave like particles of light, the massless photons, that in a vacuum relentlessly move ahead at a speed of 300 million meters per second. Similarly, electrons travelling in graphene behave as if they did not have any mass and move ahead at a constant speed of one million meters per second. This opens up the possibility of studying certain phenomena more easily on a smaller scale, i.e. without the use of a large particle accelerator. Graphene also allows scientists to test for some of the more ghost-like quantum effects that so far only have been discussed theoretically. One such phenomenon is a variant of Klein tunelling, which was formulated by the Swedish physicist Oskar Klein in 1929. The tunnel effect in quantum physics describes how particles can sometimes pass through a barrier that would normally block them. The larger the barrier the smaller the chance of quantum particles passing through. However, this does not apply to electrons travelling in graphene – in some circumstances they move ahead as if the barrier did not even exist.

What exactly is graphene

Graphene is a form of carbon. As a material it is completely new – not only the thinnest ever but also the strongest. As a conductor of electricity it performs as well as copper. As a conductor of heat it outperforms all other known materials. It is almost completely transparent, yet so dense that not even helium, the smallest gas atom, can pass through it. Carbon, the basis of all known life on earth, has surprised us once again. Graphene consists of carbon atoms joined together in a flat lattice – similar to a honeycomb structure but just one atom thick. One millimeter of graphite actually consists of three million layers of graphene stacked on top of one another. The layers are weakly held together and are therefore fairly simple to tear off and separate. Anyone who has written something with an ordinary pencil has experienced this, and it is possible, when they did, that only a single layer of atoms, graphene, happened to end up on the paper. This is what happened when Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov used adhesive tape to rip off thin flakes from a larger piece of graphite in a more methodical manner. In the beginning they got flakes consisting of many layers of graphene, but when they repeated the tape-trick ten to twenty times the flakes got thinner and thinner. The next step was to find the miniscule fragments of graphene among the thicker layers of graphite and other carbon scraps. This is when they got their second brilliant idea: in order to be able to see the results of their meticulous work, the scientists from Manchester decided to attach the flakes to a plate of oxidized silicon, the standard working material in the semiconductor industry. Graphene has of course always existed; the crucial thing was to be able to spot it. Similarly, other naturally occurring forms of carbon have appeared before scientists when they viewed them in the right way: first nanotubes and then hollow balls of carbon, fullerenes (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1996). Trapped inside graphite, graphene was waiting to be released. No-one really thought that it was possible. Many scientists thought that it would be impossible to isolate such thin materials: they would become crinkled or roll up at room temperature, or even simply completely vanish. In spite of this, some people still tried even though previous attempts to obtain graphene had failed. Formerly, it had been possible to obtain films with a thickness of less than 100 atoms – indeed, some had even been so thin that they were transparent. One way of obtaining graphene from graphite is to introduce chemical substances between the layers of atoms in order to weaken the bond between them and then subsequently separate the layers. Another method is to simply scratch away the layers of graphite. It was also tried, successfully, to “burn off” the silicon from silicon carbide crystals. At very high temperatures thin layers of carbon were left behind. Different techniques of epitaxial growth, used to create various semiconductor materials, are the most promising as regards producing graphene for use in the electronics industry. Rolls of 70 centimeter wide sheets of graphene are the largest produced so far..........

this is exactly the difference between pure sciences and social science.

A physicist like Teempakguy believes everything has a unique definition, things are not subjective. An atom is an atom anywhere. A newton remains the same everywhere.

Now, a social scientists believes that no one is actually wrong. A definition is relative and depends on the frame of reference of the speaker. they believe everything both definition is subjective.


you guys should both tolerate each other. @ Teempakguy, please always meet the issue and not the posters. using socially accepted words of communication in a public forum as this.

Nice write up @ Teempakguy. Marie curie was a great woman. she died due to the large amount of radiation in her body. she kept working and today we all have benefited from her work.

just like someone mentioned, they are many Nigerian female scientists that should make that list. one that am very sure is Prof.F.N.Okeke a laureate. she won a prize in 2014 as one of the five world best female scientists, which her work on ionosphere got her. mayhaps the topic isn't general but anyone in atmospheric physics should know about the ionosphere and her works.

Also, in the area of bioenergy, Dr. Mrs Ezekoye is doing great, her research has been published in a high impact journals.

thanks anyway.

gud for democrazy

gud for democracy

not a reliable source

okay

Men of integrity were born today. what a great day it is.

make I book space. seun girlfriend is here. vivianlies

Enjoyment season 1

gudluck to her.

God forbid

Space well booked

gud news to saraki

not interested

the last one "biafra"

we he is finally sacked, we will then visit his cupboard at the ministry of Education and very certain, we must see some cockroach

I have carefully followed this post till this last page for now. I made several observations and learnt many things too. some of the things I observed about the op are:

His basis or background is denominationally influenced. He has NEVER allowed the Holy spirit to talk or direct him.


He has a fixed answer, anyone who does not tell him what he wants to hear irrespective of the Bible passages quoted has not said anything.

His 27 yrs of Christianity to say is questionable in the light of what he has said.

He has no life of his own. the Word of God has not become flesh to him. I saw the efforts made by learned gentlemen here to which he the op thinks he knows them all.


He will never learn.

seeing his level of understanding, people wouldn't mind to bother him with bible passages, he is only here to argue the Bible to his own destruction. I personally have many Bible passages to lay a foundation for the op. if he is interested, let him add me on watsapp tru my public line.

Every Christian must study the word of God so as not to be deceived by this little write up of the op. I was once like him and I have met many Christ embass member like him. we have looked at the bible word to word, but because they have a fixed answer, they only live to their destruction.

op please add me so we can lay a firm foundation and understanding of the Scripture. so many persons here do not have the time and energy to start typing and uploading bible verses to prove you wrong.

to those who stood strongly for the undiluted doctrine, just like Jude 3 and 4, I urge you to continue . and may God keep rewarding you all.

so many persons do not know what the law as used in the old testament is. so many persons don't understand the writings of Paul, St peter in the conclusion of his letter stated it that Paul wrote in words that is very hard for people to understand to which they have interpreted to their own destruction.

God bless the church of Christ.
