Scientists have found the proof for a liquid-to-liquid transition in sulfur and of a new kind of critical point ending this transition. Scientists from the ESRF, together with teams from CEA and ...

The Romantic poet John Keats once defined a state of mind wherein a person "is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason." He called it ...

Reid vapor pressure (RVP) and true vapor pressure (TVP) of crude oil should be tested when dealing with both its production and storage. The vapor pressure reflects the level of performance of the ...
