  2. Van der Waals force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_force

    For individual atoms, the equilibrium distance is between 0.3 nm and 0.5 nm, depending on the atomic-specific diameter. [7] When the interatomic distance is greater than 1.0 nm the force is not strong enough to be easily observed as it decreases as a function of distance r approximately with the 7th power (~ r −7 ).

  3. Climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change

    The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (2021) included projections that by 2100 global warming is very likely to reach 1.0–1.8 °C under a scenario with very low emissions of greenhouse gases, 2.1–3.5 °C under an intermediate emissions scenario, or 3.3–5.7 °C under a very high emissions scenario.

  4. Hydrogen production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_production

    Producing one tonne of hydrogen through this process emits 6.6–9.3 tonnes of carbon dioxide. [4] When carbon capture and storage is used to remove a large fraction of these emissions, the product is known as blue hydrogen. [5] Green hydrogen is usually understood to be produced from renewable electricity via electrolysis of water.

  5. List of possible dwarf planets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_possible_dwarf_planets

    The number of dwarf planets in the Solar System is unknown. Estimates have run as high as 200 in the Kuiper belt [1] and over 10,000 in the region beyond. [2] However, consideration of the surprisingly low densities of many large trans-Neptunian objects, as well as spectroscopic analysis of their surfaces, suggests that the number of dwarf planets may be much lower, perhaps only nine among ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the...

    [3] [4] [5] Race and ethnicity are considered separate and distinct identities, with a person's origins considered in the census. Thus, in addition to their race or races, all respondents are categorized by membership in one of two ethnic categories, which are "Hispanic or Latino" and "Not Hispanic or Latino."

  7. Gamma ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_ray

    For example, gamma rays that require 1 cm (0.4 inch) of lead to reduce their intensity by 50% will also have their intensity reduced in half by 4.1 cm of granite rock, 6 cm (2.5 inches) of concrete, or 9 cm (3.5 inches) of packed soil. However, the mass of this much concrete or soil is only 20–30% greater than that of lead with the same ...
