Researchers have created a gas of light particles that can be extremely compressed. Their results confirm the predictions of central theories of quantum physics. The findings could also point the way ...

Management of compressed gas cylinders is very dangerous because of the unusual characteristics some of them posses: storage under pressure, flammability, and many lack a distinguishable odor or color ...

Researchers from Purdue University found that gas stoves released nano-sized particles that leave people with an increased risk of asthma and other respiratory illnesses. “These super tiny ...

Research personnel must become familiar with the properties and inherent hazards of the compressed gases used in the laboratory. Compressed gas cylinders contain varying pressures of inert, toxic, ...

A gas made of particles of light, or photons, becomes easier to compress the more you squash it. This strange property could prove useful in making highly sensitive sensors. While gases are normally ...

Cooking on your gas stove can emit more nano-sized particles into the air than vehicles that run on gas or diesel, possibly increasing your risk of developing asthma or other respiratory illnesses, a ...

Cryogenic liquids are materials with a boiling point of less than – 100 °F (-73 °C); common examples include liquid nitrogen, helium, and argon, and dry ice/alcohol slurries. Cryogenic liquids undergo ...

Compressed gas cylinders of all shapes and sizes are used all over campus for everything from welding to research. Compressed gas cylinders pose two types of risks when used, stored, or handled. The ...

It comes as no surprise that safety should always be a top concern when using compressed gases. What may be most surprising to learn, however, is that almost all accidents involving compressed gases ...

Air may be invisible, but it’s full of energy! Dr. Rob and the Crew ignite cotton with a torch tube, test syringes and squishy softies, and even launch rockets with compressed air. From bouncy bags to ...

Clinical personnel must become familiar with the properties and inherent hazards of the compressed gases used in patient care areas. Compressed gas cylinders contain varying pressures of inert, toxic, ...
