  2. Europium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europium

    Europium is a chemical element; it has symbol Eu and atomic number 63. It is a silvery-white metal of the lanthanide series that reacts readily with air to form a dark oxide coating. Europium is the most chemically reactive, least dense, and softest of the lanthanides. It is soft enough to be cut with a knife.

  3. Europium anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europium_anomaly

    Rare-earth element abundances of basalts, of both terrestrial and lunar origins [1]. The europium anomaly is the phenomenon whereby the europium (Eu) concentration in a mineral is either enriched or depleted relative to some standard, commonly a chondrite or mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB).

  4. Despite this, a British panel show compiling interesting facts has been given the name Duck Quacks Don't Echo. The dodo was intelligent and inedible despite popular belief. Despite the saying "dumb as a dodo", the dodo's intelligence was above average for an avian, as it was a member of the family Columbidae (pigeons).

    2 S) host lattice doped with europium (III) cation (Eu 3+) phosphors. [15] [9] [i] The red color itself is emitted from the europium while the yttrium collects energy from the electron gun and passes it to the phosphor. [68] Yttrium compounds can serve as host lattices for doping with different lanthanide cations.

  6. Tellurium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tellurium

    Compounds containing promethium (Pm), europium (Eu), ytterbium (Yb), and lutetium (Lu) have not yet been observed. These materials have a two-dimensional character within an orthorhombic crystal structure, with slabs of R Te separated by sheets of pure tellurium.

  7. English Pronouncing Dictionary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Pronouncing_Dictionary

    The English Pronouncing Dictionary (EPD) was created by the British phonetician Daniel Jones and was first published in 1917. [1] It originally comprised over 50,000 headwords listed in their spelling form, each of which was given one or more pronunciations transcribed using a set of phonemic symbols based on a standard accent.

  8. Americium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americium

    Americium is a synthetic chemical element; it has symbol Am and atomic number 95. It is radioactive and a transuranic member of the actinide series in the periodic table, located under the lanthanide element europium and was thus named after the Americas by analogy.

  9. Science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science

    Science is a systematic discipline that builds and organises knowledge in the form of testable hypotheses and predictions about the universe. [1] [2] Modern science is typically divided into two or three major branches: [3] the natural sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry, and biology), which study the physical world; and the social sciences (e.g., economics, psychology, and sociology), which ...
