Szent-Győrgi called water the "matrix of life" and claimed that there was no life without it. This statement is true, as far we know, on our planet, but it not clear whether must hold throughout cosmos. To evaluate question requires a close consideration many varied subtle roles plays in living cells-a be free both an assumed essentialism gives almost mystical life-giving agency traditional tendency to see merely passive solvent. Water participant "life cell," here I describe some features...
The concept of “water structure” has been invoked to explain all manner aqueous phenomena.
Abstract: Breakup and sea-floor spreading between Greenland Eurasia established a series of new plate boundaries in the North Atlantic region since Late Palaeocene. A conventional kinematic model from pre-breakup to present day assumes that moved apart as two-plate system. However, regional geophysical datasets quantitative parameters indicate this system underwent several adjustments its inception suggest additional short-lived existed NE Atlantic. Among consequences numerous boundary...
The idea of nature as engineer is an old one, but the realization that this metaphor can be extended (should we say retracted?) to molecular scale has become common currency only over past two decades or so. Two reasons for are perhaps paramount. First, picture cell been transformed from a 'wet chemical' melange—'a vessel, filled with homogeneous solution, in which all chemical processes take place', Franz Hofmeister put it 1901—into image sort fluid factory, production plant machinery works...
* All human cultures seem to make music - today and through history. But why they do so, can excite deep passions, how we sense of musical sound at all are questions that have, until recently, remained profoundly mysterious. Now in The Music Instinct Philip Ball provides the first comprehensive, accessible survey what is known still unknown about works its magic, why, as much eating sleeping, it seems indispensable humanity. Even with appear be simplest tunes, brain performing some...
Abstract The global number of megacities is projected to increase from 33 43 by 2030. Megacities are critical for the world’s economy; however, their resource management particularly challenging. energy demand, in parallel population growth and climate change, requires urgent investment sustainable energies. We examine Bogotá, Los Angeles, Jakarta reveal that potential geothermal base enough cover residential electricity demand 1.14, 4.25, 1.84 times, respectively. Geothermal energy, a clean...
One of the four elements classical antiquity, water is central to environment our planet. In Life's Matrix, Philip Ball writes water's origins, history, and unique physical character. As a geological agent, shapes mountains, canyons, coastlines, when unleashed in hurricanes floods its destructive power awesome. Ball's provocative exploration on other planets highlights possibilities life beyond Earth. Matrix also examines grim realities depletion natural resources effects availability...
A re‐evaluation of existing onshore and offshore gravity, magnetic, seismic reflection, well data from the Australo‐Antarctic margins suggests that magmatism along‐strike lithospheric heterogeneities have influenced localization initial rifting. The 3‐D crustal architecture Australian Antarctic margins, which formed during multiple rifting episodes spanning ∼80 Myr, reveal local asymmetries along strike. Rift structures broad, late Jurassic (165–145 Ma) rift zone are partially overprinted by...
