Graphene
The publication of a groundbreaking experiment on two-dimensional graphene, as well as the description of a surprisingly easy method of obtaining it, triggered a real “graphene gold rush.”
Research has expanded and divided into many different subfields, examining various unique properties of graphene-quantum mechanics, electrical, chemical, mechanical, optical, magnetic, etc.
Aurora
There are two types of auroras: northern - Aurora Borealis, and southern - Aurora Australis.
Fungi
All fungi are heterotrophic organisms and can only occur in habitats containing organic compounds.
Many species require small amounts of them to survive. They can be saprophytes feeding on dead organic matter, or parasites developing at the expense of other living organisms.
Titan
So far, more than 80 lakes have been discovered on its surface.
The seas and lakes of Titan are filled with liquid hydrocarbons.
Graphene
Graphene has unique “heating” properties.
This property is used in an innovative method of pain treatment (local heating of tissues to a tempe ...
Snow
Snow accumulates in areas cold enough to remain there seasonally or all the time.

Enceladus
It is the sixth-largest moon of Saturn.
Moon
The Moon's magnetic field is over 100 times weaker than the Earth's and ranges from 1 to 100 nanotesla.
It is not dipolar, so it is assumed that its source is not the nucleus but the crust.
Amber
Heated amber emits a pine-tree fragrance.
