The seriousness of the disease and the efforts to overcome it need sustained attention.   In 2014, videos of celebrities...

Schrödinger’s cat experiment illustrates the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, which led to the exploration of how observations affect physical reality. The experiment reveals a fundamental difference between classical physics and quantum mechanics, sparking debate among physicists and having important implications for modern physics.   ‘Steven Hawking’ said...

Oxygen is an essential resource not only for life support, but also for industry, medicine, space exploration, and many other applications. Oxygen permeation membrane technology selectively isolates oxygen from mixed gases, with invasive atoms and diffusion playing a key role in the process.   Oxygen is an essential substance for life. It is not only important for living organisms, but also...
