  2. Zinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc

    In most single-tablet, over-the-counter, daily vitamin and mineral supplements, zinc is included in such forms as zinc oxide, zinc acetate, zinc gluconate, or zinc amino acid chelate. [ 172 ] [ 173 ] Generally, zinc supplement is recommended where there is high risk of zinc deficiency (such as low and middle income countries) as a preventive ...

  3. Corrosion in space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrosion_in_space

    Corrosion in space is the corrosion of materials occurring in outer space.Instead of moisture and oxygen acting as the primary corrosion causes, the materials exposed to outer space are subjected to vacuum, bombardment by ultraviolet and X-rays, solar energetic particles (mostly electrons and protons from solar wind), and electromagnetic radiation. [1]

  4. Space travel under constant acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_travel_under...

    This plot shows a ship capable of 1-g (10 m/s 2 or about 1.0 ly/y 2) "felt" or proper acceleration [6] can travel vast distances, although is limited by the mass of any propellant it carries. A spaceship using significant constant acceleration will approach the speed of light over interstellar distances, so special relativity effects including ...

  5. Spacecraft electric propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_electric_propulsion

    6 kW Hall thruster in operation at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory 3D sketch of an electromagnetic propulsion fusion plasma thruster. Spacecraft electric propulsion (or just electric propulsion) is a type of spacecraft propulsion technique that uses electrostatic or electromagnetic fields to accelerate mass to high speed and thus generating thrust to modify the velocity of a spacecraft in ...

  6. Speed of electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_electricity

    The electric field starts at the conductor, and propagates through space at the velocity of light, which depends on the material it is traveling through. [4] The electromagnetic fields do not move through space. It is the electromagnetic energy that moves.

    The “Chandler Wobble” – a natural shifting of the Earth’s axis due to the planet not being perfectly spherical – could be linked to the spinning speeds, timeanddate.com reported.

  8. Alcubierre drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive

    The Alcubierre drive ([alkuˈβjere]) is a speculative warp drive idea according to which a spacecraft could achieve apparent faster-than-light travel by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it, under the assumption that a configurable energy-density field lower than that of vacuum (that is, negative mass) could be created.
