Porous mediumIn materials science, a porous medium or a porous material is a material containing pores (voids). The skeletal portion of the material is often called the "matrix" or "frame". The pores are typically filled with a fluid (liquid or gas). The skeletal material is usually a solid, but structures like foams are often also usefully analyzed using concept of porous media. A porous medium is most often characterised by its porosity. Other properties of the medium (e.g.
Greenhouse gas emissionsGreenhouse gas emissions (abbreviated as GHG emissions) from human activities strengthen the greenhouse effect, contributing to climate change. Carbon dioxide (), from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, is one of the most important factors in causing climate change. The largest emitters are China followed by the US, although the United States has higher emissions per capita. The main producers fueling the emissions globally are large oil and gas companies.
KryptonLe krypton est l'élément chimique de numéro atomique 36, de symbole Kr. C'est un gaz noble, inodore et incolore, découvert par William Ramsay et Morris Travers le en réalisant une distillation de l'air liquide. Étymologiquement, le nom de « krypton » dérive du grec ancien κρυπτός (kryptos) signifiant « caché. » L'une de ses propriétés physiques, la longueur d'onde de la raie spectrale orange de l'isotope Kr, a servi à définir le mètre de 1960 jusqu'en 1983 comme valant cette longueur d'onde dans le vide.
