  • following on from an earlier comment in anothe thread, nitrated organic compounds come to mind, Toluene or Glycine.

    The story I shared (or maybe some other online chat) may have got me on a watch list post the events of September 2001, so use at your own discretion.

  • Mine, nitrated organic compounds will act on fingers that are too close...

    It all started, as a teenager, with my mates and I making black powder pipe bombs to let off on the back of a farm. With time these increased in size, and then the chemistry also stepped - to the point that we unplanted a sizable pine tree. This resulted in the local constabulary paying us a visit (for the first time). Thankfully it was a quite visit, no lights, no parents involved, just a stern watch out you could really heart yourselves. As we move on in our endeavors escalated we learnt a few things.

    Timing is everything, get the timing wrong and you may need stitches at best. I think one of my mates was very lucky that day and only split the skin of a finger, it could have gone much worse.

    Of cause that didn't stop us - and that lead to the cops and AOS being called on another occasion - when the AOS is involved it tends to make the local papers, and parents somehow become involved as well.

    All good life lessons.

  • While refrigerators and air conditioners still rely on gases that can leak, a Cambridge startup raises $10 million to create refrigeration with plastic crystals that cool when squeezed.

    Jump

  • I note that the article states the following: "When the pressure is removed, the process reverses, and the solid can absorb heat from the nearby environment." That would appear to be the opposite of the headline

  • me too...

    from the other post it looks like they are using water to carry the heat away. I guess water and some deforming crystals are better that most of the refrigerants that we currently use

  • I cant be bothered to read 'yet another pie in the sky' 'this will solve every thing', but my two cents:

    They still have to move the heat somewhere some how with something or else relaxing the crystals will add the heat back to the system + the work that was done. No work is free

  • People who are blind from birth never develop schizophrenia

    Jump

  • This is because, as a simple calculation demonstrates, a case of congenital blindness and schizophrenia would be extremely rare even if there was no protective effect of blindness: if schizophrenia occurs at a rate of 0.72% in the population (McGrath et al., 2008) and congenital blindness occurs at an estimated rate of 0.03% in people born in the 1970s and 1980s (based on Robinson et al., 1987), then the joint probability of a person having both conditions, if the two are independent, would be 0.0002% or 2 out of every 1 million people. Although this is a low prevalence rate, it is equal to or higher than the rates for several other well-known conditions (e.g., Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, hereditary spastic paraplegia, Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome). Based on this estimated prevalence rate, in the United States alone (with a population of 311, 591, 917, as of July 2011, according the US census), there should be approximately 620 congenitally blind people with schizophrenia. When cases of blindness with an onset in the first year of life (i.e., early blindness) are taken into account, the percentage would be larger. Therefore, it is remarkable that in over 60 years, and with several investigations [including several before DSM-III (1980) when criteria for schizophrenia were broader than at present], not a single case of a C/E blind schizophrenia patient has been reported.
