Discovery of a type of material has been found from the 1940s but nobody knows, looks a lot like kryptonite

The first thing many people think when they see this material for the first time is: "it's identical to the Kryptonite".

The deep mine in Siberia, the researchers figured out the new material not seen on the ground. They have similarities with some type of material created in the room and no one thinks they will survive beyond nature, until the discovery in deep mines.
In the past few decades, the American chemist has created more new material in the laboratory, known as metal-organic framework (MOF-metal-organic framework). The material is the "molecular sponge", capable of sucking the gases such as hydrogen or carbon dioxide, might even be used to store the gas thing. The science report said, not only what kind of material are found in nature, that we already have them in hand for more than 70 years.
I just don't know what the reality is.


Two specimens of the material named stepanovite and zhenchuzhnikovite are classified from the 1940s, when they are found in the mines in Siberia. With the limitations of the technology, the characteristics of this material often researchers overlook.
But time passed, everything must grow. In 2010, Professor of chemistry at McGill University's Friščić Tomislav found an old journal article about this matter. He was extremely surprised to discover them in many respects very similar to the MOF material created in the lab today.
Do not use the prototype of this material in Russia, scholar Igor Huskic also at the University of McGill has created a synthetic version of the material above, from these details have been from old newspaper he found. He was successful with a synthetic version of the same material with the MOF.
"This is in contrast with what we do. Often a type of material to be detected in the environment and then we proceed into the analysis, after which new creation is a similar material in the laboratory, "said Friščić said.





Specimens found in the mine and the molecular structure of its similar with the material created in the laboratory.

The application of matter created in the lab do scientists not from elated. A lot of technology that can be used for this type of material, most notably the isolated energy carbon dioxide that we emit environment or can use them to create the extremely energy-efficient batteries. All these things are currently being researched, makes people posed the question: we will have developed to the extent that would recognize those as if this sooner?
Friščić researchers say that if the 1940s that have structural analysis technology as it is today, the entire construction industry organic metal frames will come soon 50 years.
Where to find the material model is also quite strange. The mine in Siberia 250 meters deep beneath the permafrost is melting. So only very small amounts are collected nursery rhymes. Despite this, researchers Friščić still very optimistic about a source of this material is still somewhere out there, more and more exploited.
The next step, in addition to search a source tapped out, we have to continue to explore what we can do with this type of material to be found in both the natural and the "brother" of them are created in the laboratory.

Modern robots planned to drill Saigon underground from 26/5

As planned, on May 26, the robot tunneling will officially operate, construction of the 781 m long underground. According to a statement issued by the contractor directly operating underground metro drilling robot, the staff of this unit consists of 17 foreign experts, 5 engineers and 25 Vietnamese workers will operate TBM tunnel drilling machine. From Ba Son Station to Ho Chi Minh City Theater Station. Install underground tunnel drilling robot. As planned, on May 26, this tunnel robot will be officially operated, construction of the 781 m long underground section.  This is the item of package 1b of the metro line 1 (Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien) contractor contractor Shimizu - Meada (Japan).  Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien will be the first metro line in Vietnam to excavate tunnels underground TBM machine with a tunnel diameter up to 6.79 m.  The modern TBM submersible robot from Japan has a total length of 70 m, weighs 300 tons, is being assembled by the unit to exc...

Meteorites fall velocity 2400 kilometers / h to cities in Argentina, causing huge explosions

People initially thought it was terrorism. A series of earth-shattering explosions have caused people south of the country was Argentina where her worry that the cottages, buildings shaking with tremors. But fortunately because there is nothing so dangerous cases happened: it was caused by a meteorite falling to Earth. On the last 20/7 would be a normal Wednesday afternoon in the city of General Roca 85,000 people , and suddenly the afternoon turned into unusual was that a series of large explosions rocked buildings and many glass doors in the city. Police, firefighters and other rescue team members were quick soon to be determined where the blast but were surprised, they did not find any evidence of a bomb explosion, the consequences of an earthquake or other natural disaster. Ultimately, the scientists have found the reason: a meteor has entered the Earth's atmosphere at an altitude of 10,000 meters, moving at a speed of 2,400 km / h. "This meteorite fell to Ea...

Today is the 25th anniversary of the world are connected to each other thanks to the advent of the Web page

You know today, August 23 is on the 25th anniversary of the birth of the Web? Quiz you know today, August 23 is the day? Around the 1980s, Tim Berners-Lee, a software engineer working at the CERN laboratories in Geneva, Switzerland was rekindled in his idea of a global information system. The original purpose for which he is aiming to create the environment for scientists to share research, his experience with colleagues. Sample models that he first outline named "Enrique". Tim Berners-Lee. Tim Berners-Lee. In 1989, Tim launched the article entitled "Information Management: A Proposal"-suggestions on information management, in which he insisted that his ambition is directed to global networks, all over the world the same connections over public networks. The name that the heart set for kids are her pregnancy is "World Wide Web"-or the WWW today that everyone must type before accessing a site. In the meantime, however, the World Wide Web is still a concept ...
