Surface area is a measure of the entire area that the surface of a specific object occupies. While simple geometric formulae for calculating the surface area of ideal three-dimensional shapes are ...

Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis is a widely used technique for measuring the specific surface area and porosity of materials, particularly in the field of nanotechnology. It is based on the ...

The net of a 3D shape is what a shape looks like when opened into a 2D shape. The net can help to show the areas of each face that make up the surface area of a shape. The same units are needed for ...

Magnesium stearate, a waxy, lamellar (platy) solid, is a widely used excipient in pharmaceutical technology. Primarily, magnesium stearate is added to a formulation in order to modify compaction ...

New simulations suggest that a 9-mile-thick layer of solid diamonds may lurk deep below the surface of Mercury. The gems almost certainly can't be mined for bling — but they may help solve some of the ...
