Electric Strength of Aluminium Oxide Films - Nature
Nature· 20 hours agoRecent work with thin films of amorphous aluminium oxide shows that its electric strength also increases if the film thickness is less than 10−5 cm. The oxide was formed by ‘anodic oxidation ...
Relative Yields of Ions Produced by α- Particles in Air and Water Vapour - Nature
Nature· 19 hours agoA low collecting field (about 50 volts/cm.) is sufficient to produce complete saturation in both gases at pressures of 10–20 cm. of mercury, and several determinations of ...
Conductivity of Mercury - Nature
Nature· 5 days agoIT was shown in a previous article* that solar intensity cannot be accurately ascertained by the thermohelio-meter employed by Père Secchi, owing, among other causes, to the imperfect conductivity ...
A Simple Calculation of the Perihelion of Mercury from the Principle of Equivalence - Nature
Nature· 5 days agoIT is known that first-order phenomena described in the general theory of relativity can be deduced from the principle of equivalence. The present note serves as an illustration.
Raman Spectra of Crystals - Nature
Nature· 1 day agoI HAVE been investigating the Raman effect in a number of crystals, using the same method of excitation which proved to be particularly successful with gases.1 The primary source consists of ...
Separation of Mercury into Isotopes in a Steel Apparatus - Nature
Nature· 4 days agoIn this the mercury is heated by an insulated wire which lies in the bottom of the trough, the insulation being obtained by a coating of magnesium oxide, which is covered ...
The Transit of Mercury on November 7, 1914 - Nature
Nature· 5 days agoMERCURY is one of the two planets which revolves round the sun in an orbit smaller than that of our earth, and consequently at a time of inferior conjunction generally passes ...
UK weather maps reveal August forecast - and it's terrible news for Brits
Daily Express· 11 hours agoWe've had the first glimpses of what's predicted for next month after weeks of changeable weather...
The Band Spectrum of Mercury excited by a High Frequency Discharge - Nature
Nature· 5 days agoThe method consists of sending a high frequency current through a wire coiled around the tube in which the discharge is excited. While experimenting with a low voltage Tesla coil in which the ...
The Bakerian Lecture.—on the Mechanical Equivalent of Heat1 - Nature
Nature· 1 day agoOn the other hand, in this research the object has been to determine the mechanical equivalent of the total heat necessary to raise the temperature of water over the standard interval of temperature ...
