The interior molecules of a liquid are pushed and pulled by neighboring molecules in every direction, but those at the surface have only half as many neighbors to interact with. The resulting density change of molecules arranged near the surface causes a drop of water to form a sphere and prevents the insect from sinking even though its density is greater than the water’s.
Point Grey, a world-leading designer and manufacturer of innovative, high-performance digital cameras, today announced the addition of new 4.1 megapixel global shutter CMOS models to the Grasshopper3 family of high quality, high resolution USB 3.0 cameras.
Asynt has designed its range of products for parallel synthesis to share standard parts (inserts) for reaction tube, vial and round-bottom flask based reactions.
