  2. Hypothetical types of biochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetical_types_of...

    Silicon is in the same group as carbon on the periodic table and, like carbon, it is tetravalent. Hypothetical alternatives to water include ammonia, which, like water, is a polar molecule, and cosmically abundant; and non-polar hydrocarbon solvents such as methane and ethane, which are known to exist in liquid form on the surface of Titan.

  3. Liquid crystal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal

    Liquid crystal color transitions are used on many aquarium and pool thermometers as well as on thermometers for infants or baths. [84] Other liquid crystal materials change color when stretched or stressed. Thus, liquid crystal sheets are often used in industry to look for hot spots, map heat flow, measure stress distribution patterns, and so on.

  4. Fluid ounce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_ounce

    In the U.K., the use of the fluid ounce as a measurement in trade, public health, and public administration was circumscribed to a few specific uses (the labelling of beer, cider, water, lemonade and fruit juice in returnable containers) in 1995, and abolished entirely in 2000, by The Units of Measurement Regulations 1994.

    “When you look at branding in the bottled water category, so much of it has revolved around themes like the purity of the water, superior levels of hydration, etc. Liquid Death took off in part ...

  6. List of viscosities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_viscosities

    For liquid, the dynamic viscosity is usually in the range of 0.001 to 1 Pascal-second, or 1 to 1000 centiPoise. The density is usually on the order of 1000 kg/m^3, i.e. that of water. Consequently, if a liquid has dynamic viscosity of n centiPoise, and its density is not too different from that of water, then its kinematic viscosity is around n ...

  7. Sodium silicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_silicate

    Sodium silicate is brushed on a section of the piece. After five minutes, the wall of the piece is stretched outward with a rib or hand. The result is a wrinkled or cracked look. It is also the main agent in "magic water", which is used when joining clay pieces, especially if the moisture level of the two differs. [25]

  8. Color of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_water

    The same water in a smaller bucket looks only slightly cyan, [1] and observing the water at close range makes it appear colorless to the naked eye. The intrinsic color of liquid water may be demonstrated by looking at a white light source through a long pipe that is filled with purified water and closed at both ends with a transparent window.

  9. Water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water

    The refractive index of liquid water (1.333 at 20 °C (68 °F)) is much higher than that of air (1.0), similar to those of alkanes and ethanol, but lower than those of glycerol (1.473), benzene (1.501), carbon disulfide (1.627), and common types of glass (1.4 to 1.6). The refraction index of ice (1.31) is lower than that of liquid water.
