Scientists reveal that the climate change phenomenon can be accelerated by our own refrigerators, air conditioners and other items around our households. All these indispensable products rely on hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), organic compounds that contain only one or a few fluorine atoms contributing a great deal to env... |

A team of particle physicists announces the creation of a refrigerator, in a quantum system made up of three individual qubits, or quantum bits. These are the basic components of such a system, and they all respect the entanglement principle. This basically states that any change affecting one of the qubits will affe... |

When refrigerators first started making their way into the homes of average people, around the first third of the 20th century, they created a true revolution. Food could then be kept frozen for a long time, and people no longer had to rely on ice suppliers to get their cooling sources. With these devices, along with... |

Venus, along with Mars, is Earth's 'sister planet', but there's a big difference between the two. While temperature on Mars is -65 degrees Celsius on average, Venus has a temperature of about 450 degrees, due to an out of control greenhouse effect, hot enough to melt lead. The URSS and the US have... |
