How likely is ethylene oxide to cause cancer
Ethylene oxide is an organic compound with the chemical formula of C2H4O, which is an artificial combustible gas. When its concentration is very high, it will emit some sweet taste. Ethylene oxide is easily soluble in water, and a small amount of ethylene oxide will be produced when burning tobac...Read more -
Why is it time to invest in helium
Today we think of liquid helium as the coldest substance on the earth. Now is the time to reexamine him? The coming helium shortage Helium is the second most common element in the universe, so how can there be a shortage? You can say the same thing about hydrogen, which is even more common. There...Read more -
Exoplanets may have helium rich atmospheres
