(b) Gold foil activation gold foil is susceptible to activation by neutrons.

Now, think about your interactions with aluminum foil.

This is what you can do with some household tinfoil.

This is some aluminum foil, right? You use it in the kitchen.

Okay, well, it's what I can do with some household tinfoil.

We had a teacher once who was a real dandy..

And it will say in gold letters,

It is understood that the first lawsuit concerning graphene will be released next week. This has sounded the alarm for China s graphene products trademark brands.

The diamond structure is a three dimensional crystal while the graphite form consists of stacks of two dimensional sheets.

I created a little oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

If placed in close proximity to an object emitting neutrons, or its container, the foil may be activated sufficiently that radio spectroscopy of resulting activation products in the foil could yield low fidelity information on the nature of the neutron flux.

If you go to the Gulf and you look around, you do see a lot of oil.

On the top line, this is the BP oil spill billions of barrels of oil gushing in the Gulf of Mexico.

65. Carbon has long been considered to exist in only two fundamental forms exemplified by diamond and graphite.

If you go to the Gulf and you look around, you do see a lot of oil.

This is the target site, the world's deepest hydrothermal spring at Cenote Zacaton in northern Mexico.

There are also old wells that have stopped producing but that could be made productive again with modern technologies. And there are potential gas and oil fields that can be tapped only with the new technologies of fracking and horizontal drilling.

This is a terrible thing, that the oil is going to hurt the people in the Gulf.

They were all on the Gulf in May, while oil was starting to come ashore in certain places.

It would not take an awful lot to anticipate that after making 30,000 holes in the sea floor of the Gulf of Mexico looking for oil, oil might start coming out of one of them.

There are a lot of rocks on one side of the beach, and when it's low tide, you can go there and watch the anemones and the ink squids.

305. The move of the offshore oil and gas industry to deeper waters farther from the coast gave rise to an important delimitation issue between the United States and Mexico with regard to their continental shelves in the Gulf of Mexico.

VIENNA On April 20, an explosion on Deepwater Horizon, a British Petroleum (BP) operated oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, led to the most publicized oil spill in decades. Another blowout in the same waters 31 years ago, farther south on the Mexican side of the Gulf, turned into the largest peacetime oil spill ever.

The platform where that accident happened, called Ixtoc 1, was operated by Pemex, the state owned Mexican oil company. The two accidents and the spills they caused have a number of similar features, although marine oil spills in general have profoundly changed in character in the three decades between the two events.

Energy reform opens up electricity generation and oil exploration, extraction, and refining to private foreign or domestic investment through licenses, concessions, production sharing, or profit sharing. The oil workers union has been banished from the board of directors of Pemex, the national oil company, and new contracts for shale oil and gas, together with deep water prospecting and drilling, will be signed with a government agency, not with Pemex.

Privatizing Pemex and the national electric company will also allow trained, professional managers to replace state bureaucrats and bring an end to trade unions current major role in the management process. Furthermore, privatization will remove the constraints on investment that the government budget has imposed on Pemex and the electric company.

Having end results things that come back from the printer well, like this little business card for an animation company called Sideshow on lenticular foils.

Now what's happened in the Gulf of Mexico as you can see, this is the Minerals Management diagram of wells for gas and oil.

Now I'm not a scientist, but I was accompanying a remarkable scientific team from the University of South Florida who have been tracking the travels of BP's oil in the Gulf of Mexico.

By 1945 it was clear that the exploitation of the mineral resources of the continental shelf under the high seas particularly petroleum resources was not feasible on a significant scale, and in particular the United States was actively interested in offshore oil exploitation in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere.

Mexico City (Mexican pesos)

The price of gas in the US and Canada is only about half the current price in Mexico (and less than half the price in Europe and Asia). Mexican access to cheaper gas will boost Mexican petrochemical industries and lower energy costs for manufacturing.

Shape retaining is common in metal you bend a piece of aluminum foil, and it holds its place. Contrast that with a plastic garbage can and you can push in the sides and it always bounces back.

OK, now, these are my sprinting legs, made of carbon graphite, like I said, and I've got to make sure I've got the right socket.

Because it was built with a sense of purpose, stone by stone, like the pyramids in Egypt or like the Aztec towers in Mexico.

Yes, you're beautiful. What kind of earring will match with this kind of clothes?

Cuttlefish. I love cuttlefish. This is a Giant Australian Cuttlefish.

Ink. Nothing but plain, ordinary blueblack ink.

The outliers were Venezuela, despite high oil prices, and the Caribbean Basin Mexico, Central America, and the islands. These countries export manufactured goods to the US, on which they also rely for tourism and remittances they lack either the geography or the geology to become great commodity exporters (or, like Mexico, they export all of their oil to the US).

Until the government adopted the necessary constitutional amendment and enacted the associated enabling legislation, Mexico s energy sector was entirely state owned. The sector s most important component, Pemex, owned all of Mexico s oil and gas reserves, and was exclusively responsible for exploration, production, and retail distribution.

Here are rubies, sapphires, emeralds.

I was born in Mexico, I grew up in Mexico and along the way, I learned to love Mexico.
