    It's happening right now all around you. Although the “outrageous transformation” has yet to occur, more and more people every day are turning to their smartphones for shopping convenience and comparison. For a Christmas gift for his girlfriend in 2010, Tri Tang went shopping for a Garmin global positioning system (GPS). He found exactly what he wanted at a Best Buy store for $184.85. But instead of dropping it into his cart and proceeding to the cashier, Tri pulled out his smartphone and typed in the model number. He found the exact same Garmin GPS on Amazon's Web site for $106.75, with no shipping and no tax.…

    In everyday life, several reactions are encountered, but still knowledge on how fast these occur and the factors affecting it were still insufficient. This study aimed to determine the different factors affecting the rate of reaction and how these factors affected it. An experiment named iodine clock reaction was done to answer the questions raised. In this study the reaction of iodide ion and peroxodisulfate (VI) ion was analyzed with the help of thiocyanate ion. The experiment was divided into three parts. First, second, and third parts of the experiment were used to examine the effects of the reactant concentrations, temperature and the presence of catalyst to the rate of reaction, respectively. The time before the reaction proceeded was recorded and calculations were done to obtain necessary information. It was identified that increasing the reactant concentration would increase the rate of reaction. Likewise, higher temperature increased the rate. Finally, the presence of catalyst had enormous effect on the reaction rate. It increased as the catalyst was added. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that said factors could increase the rate of reaction by increasing the temperature or reactant concentration or by adding a catalyst on the mixture.…

    Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. The field of angiogenesis has grown enormously in the past 30 years, with only 40 papers published in 1980 and nearly 6000 in 2010. Why do you think angiogenesis research grew so fast? Studies show that angiogenic therapies provide a potential to conquer cancer, heart diseases, and more than 70 of life’s most threatening medical conditions. We all know that tumor can really be a serious thing for an embryo.…

    Coupled reactions are very essential in our daily lives. One example of a coupled reaction is the metabolism of glucose (C6H12O6) that converts adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the mitochondria of cells. Coupling reactions is also used when extracting metals from their respective ores. As we can see, this way of making a certain reaction be spontaneous is a critical factor that can affect us in every little way. There are three ways to obtain product from a non-spontaneous reaction (∆G > 0): First, modify the different reaction conditions (usually, temperature) to…
