Hi, Is there any elements or compounds other than cobalt, which raise martensite start temperature during solidification of steel.

Do macro amounts of elements form when atoms of a certain type (e..g. gold) bond together to form a substantial mass? Or do atoms of mixed types bond together and then together take on the properties we ascribe to each element? The reason I ask is that it seems improbable to me that a few...

Hey everyone, I've been going thru a linear alg textbook and there's this one theorem I can't quite follow. It proves that the elements of A(adj A) are |A| if on the diagonal and are 0 if not. Therefore, A(adj A) = |A|I. The first part shows that along the diagonal of this product A(adj...

A massive star collapses when it begins to create iron in the normal fusion sequence. Iron absorbs energy. The collapse then produces all the heavier elements. When the heavier elements are created is energy absorbed or released?

what is basic principle followed by atoms to arrange in basic structure?

Is there a way of calculating the field of elements in a system using the base? I expect that's the main way, I am just unlearned. For Example base phi: (1+√5)/2 has the FoE Q[√5] = Q + [√5]Q Is it just any non-rational elements are added to the field? what would base: (√2 / √7) be?

Replacing specific array elements in IDL - solved! Hi I was just wondering if there was any way, other than using FOR loops, to replace specified elements of an array? For example, say A is a 1D array of 50 elements, each equal to 1.0. Is it possible to change say elements 0-9 and 30-49...

in line integrals we always need a vector element of distance. I can't understand the difference between ds and dr. is ds for all kinds of paths (even curly ones) and dr only for straight lines, or theyre the same? I am confused, or maybe dr is just the magnitude of ds, and the vector here is...
