Abstract
This paper takes a look at nanotechnology and reviews the possibilities of nanotechnology possessing the properties to become the next revolution. This paper also discusses the speech "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" given by Nobel Prize winning physicist, Richard Feynman, disagreeing that the laws of physics do not control man's capacity to control single atoms and molecules.
From the Paper
"It has been said that with creation comes destruction. Technology has yet to perfect rational within nanotechnology. However, if a nanomachine with the capability of logical reasoning is developed, one must speculate whether or not nanotechnology can possess the properties to become the next revolution. Forming a new revolution can alter the way the society lives economically, scientifically, and in many other ways. In essence, nanotechnology with the capacity of logical reasoning can have the capability to become harmful instead of good, striving to bring out the destruction of its creator."

From the Paper
"Americans had longed dreamed of harnessing the power of Niagara Falls, but schemes for extracting power from the Falls never materialized. Tesla had dreamed since childhood of harnessing the power of Niagara and this dream came true when Westinghouse was awarded the contract for creating a powerhouse there. The Niagara Falls Power Project came as a result of a failed competition led by the Niagara Falls Commission, charged with planning the power project. They had solicited proposals from experts from around the world but rejected all ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer offers a definition of the process of osmosis. The writer answers specific questions on the effect on cells of osmotic pressure. The writer then discusses the transport of large molecules into cells. In this paper, the writer examines thermodynamics and enzymes. The writer alos presents technical information in this regard.
From the Paper
"Osmosis is the process of diffusion of water molecules across a membrane. The contents of cells are basically solutions of many different solutes and the more concentrated this solution is the more solute molecules there are in a given volume and the less water molecules. Water molecules can diffuse freely across a membrane but only down a concentration gradient so water always diffuses from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution. Osmosis can be quantified using water potential so it is possible to calculate ... "

The writer concludes by explaining why fire is not living.
From the Paper
"The scientific method is a method of analyzing a scientific problem in a systematic way. In this method the scientist does not make assumptions, leap to conclusions, or make decisions based on feeling. This method is strictly based on observable facts. The five basic steps to the scientific method are research problem hypothesis problem, experimentation and project conclusion. To initiate an investigation, the scientist first selects a project topic to investigate. Then he researches it by collecting information on it from a variety of sources ... "

Abstract
This paper explores the fate of the universe. The writer looks back to the origins of the universe to see how it all started and what has been happening since then. In this article the writer explores some of the predictions for the future, the main one of which is that the universe will go on expanding forever.
From the Paper
"Before one can speculate on the fate of the universe, one must first look back to how it began. The modern version of the 'Big Bang' theory is that a massive explosion created all the mass and energy in the universe and also the fabric of time-space, which inflated rapidly after the big bang but then slowed down and the universe cooled down. The temperature dropped within minutes and free-roaming quarks formed protons and neutrons, some of which coalesced into the nuclei of simple elements."

In this paper, the findings of various federal organizations are also included.
From the Paper
"The last minutes of Japan Airlines Flight 123 from Tokyo have been the subject of intense debate since the Boeing crashed on August 1985. It remains to date the worst single plane air crash in history. Twelve minutes into a domestic run from Haneda Airport Tokyo to Osaka Flight 123 experienced every pilot and passenger's nightmare: a total loss of hydraulic pressure, as well as tail control, surfaces which rendered the piloting controls useless. The plane was out of control ... "

Abstract
This paper studies the feasibility of hydrogen cars and explains the technology behind them. The paper discusses the benefits and drawbacks they present and how some of the problems could be overcome in the near future.
From the Paper
"Cars powered by hydrogen promise hope for our polluted planet in that hydrogen is the cleanest burning fuel possible, its only exhaust being water vapor. Hydrogen cells are not new; one was invented in by Welsh physicist Sir William Grove, but their potential use in cars has only recently been recognized. Fuel cells can convert hydrogen directly into electricity to power a car."

From the Paper
"Density can be used to identify a substance. It could be used to determine if a sample of gold-colored metal is in fact gold. Archimedes used the concept of density to identify substances. Density is a physical property of a substance which describes the degree of compactness of the substance, i.e., how close together the atoms are packed. The density of a substance is the ratio of an object's mass to its volume."

Abstract
This paper looks at the way Alan Lightman's novel, "Einstein' Dreams", handles Einstein's theory of the relativity of time, mainly the "elasticity" of time. The paper discusses this in terms of how it relates to adult cognitive development.
From the Paper
"Alan Lightman's book "Einstein's Dreams" is a novel that plays with Einstein's theory of the relativity of time. There is a proverb that says "a watched pot never boils". It requires some level of cognitive development to understand this proverb. It does not mean that the water in the pot will never boil. Depending on the level of heat applied to the pot, the water could boil in as quick a time as three minutes. However, for someone who stands over the pot and ..."
