1,440,982 | It is recommended that discs be cleaned before—and after—each playback, carbon-fibre brushes are quite effective.

581,993 | Moreover, such methods are completely blind to molecules that have no dipole. For example, by far the most common molecule in the universe is H (hydrogen gas), but it does not have a dipole moment, so it is invisible to radio telescopes. Moreover, such methods cannot detect species that are not in the gas-phase. Since ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=71268 | 581,695 |
650,948 | Electrical fields can be represented mathematically in many different ways. In the Huygens–Fresnel or Stratton-Chu viewpoints, the electric field is represented as a superposition of point sources, each one of which gives rise to a Green's function field.

This led ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=1408929 | 992,876 |
1,304,452 | The primary ethical dilemma that is brought up in stem cell research is concerning the source of embryonic stem cells (hESCs). As the name states, hESCs come from embryos. To be more specific, they come from the inner cell mass of a blastophere, which is the beginning stage of an embryo. However, that mass of cells cou... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=703002 | 1,303,736 |
