And that's still not what doping means...

Lots of hits from google on various doping methods and results.
Now to find the specific so the reputation of third rock drops to 10th rock

Again, with just power generation alone, how do you acheive this Xeno?

Sprinkling is the words they used, but their effort is designed to identify a difference, and difference includes random test standards.
Flint, I already pointed out that doped graphene has some interesting electrical properties (topological insulation). However, nowhere in that article does it suggest that the insulative properties would make graphene even a possible material for space colony construction.
I don't think you understand topological insulation...
Flint, these are topological insulation, which is to do with insulating from electrical charges if I am not mistaken (all the articles I found talked about electrical insulation).
"A topological insulator is a material that behaves as an insulator in its interior or bulk while permitting the movement of charges (metallic) on its surface."

Best I can do with internet speeds here.
Various 'variations' of graphene and carbon nanotubes have been found to be able to prevent heat from moving to another side, and visa versa cold. There was talk (albiet only theoretical as at as much as $100 a centimeter for graphene...) of a refrigerator using the new variaton to make a perfect refrigerator which would only lose cooling when the door was opened (and thus only need activation of the cooling system at that time).
I am someone who studies reports of graphene with an interest bordering on the extreme.
When I am done campaigning, win or lose, I plan to goto college, then a University. I plan to get a doctorate in math where the thesis will be on monopolies. Additionally I plan to study materials science, specifically graphene, as a masters or possibly as my second doctorate. Additional studies will include high energy physics and magnetic theory.
This is my hobby stuff. I am even contemplating setting up an investment in a company which can create pure graphene or pure carbon nanotubes of size, as I feel that is the future of our society.
The costs of 2012 are not important. My example of James Cameron was to show what is happening in the develoment of technologies for sciences with difficult financing. It took 50 years that another human dived so deep. No state was able to do this, private financing and a "race" for new private submarines/reaching the deepest point on earth did it. It is the same with space. Today we see just the basics, but in a few decades things will have changed.

There are plenty of ways, and not one way should be utilised by one spacecraft, but, rather, as many ways as possible should be used by each craft. When in close proximity to a star, solar-energy collection should be used. The craft should also be capable of mining asteroids and comets for radio-isotopes, hydrogen, etc., and be capable of producing its own thruster fuel.
In deep space, radio-isotopes from space-dust via collectors built into the space-craft's design would be sufficient to power nuclear reactors, especially if the craft were traveling at near-light speed.
i wonder if electronics work near the light of speed, aswell when apreaching this speed, light should still be traveling around you at the same speed in reference to you, which means for this to happen time must slow down. but as an EEt major we are taught that electricity travels at 2/3s the speed of light when in a conductive material. would the electricity be able to perform in these conditions? and then would light build up in front of the ship, adding to the mass or would it break a rule of science that says light only travels at an exact speed?
doping is commonly used in electronics, diodes are probably the most popular, or LEDs as most would probably know is a diode. it would be interesting to see an insulator or at least a outer layer that was able to absorb light or elecricity, though with the difference in voltage potential i would think there would be many dangers to people or any sensative equipment stored inside.
this would be a possible way to have circuitry built into a wall that even ran solely on solar power, it is interesting to know that emitting a frequency (AC) onto a flat surface can change a voltage difference even more creating the chance to collect or dissipate a power source such as light.
Going into space creates CO2. CO2 is going to kill us all. You're discussing the genocide of the human species! ![]()
knowing that light travels at a constant speed, because it must, otherwise we would be capable of creating slow moving light, another law must bend to create this constant. time ^^ otherwise our scientists fail and we need slow light now! haha
nice troll v.kemp but they dont use typical feul in space shuttles, http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/technology/sts-newsref/et.html they are better on emissions than my car!
NO carbon dioxide is produced? You pwnt me. ![]()
BUT I bet a bunch of other nasty stuff is produced! FALLBACK POSITION!
Yeah, space travel produces conspiracy theorists...
theres a ton of space trash, some of which has radioactive material that can fall to earth, but very little. i don't know what kind of conspiracy theories are inspired from space, though theres a conspiracy for everything
Kemp you are right on your fall back position.
Water molecules are formed in our upper atmosphere with shuttle launches. Water molecules are MUCH MORE HEAT TRAPPING than mere carbon dioxide ever could dream to be.
You are a WinRar after all!
[Play nice]
Feel free to link us infomation on this anti-gravity, magnetic field propulsion system the Nazis were working on and the UFOs you claim they were responsible for. "theorized on" doesn't mean "researched" to any meaningful degree and is about .00000001% of "had" or "developed."
You then take your wild speculation and extrapolate. Because who doesn't want to know [bara thinks] the Nazis would be living on Mars if they'd won!
Woo queue tin foil hats...
"The Third Reich was pioneering, inventing, and researching technologies almost a century ahead of any other nation in the world at the end of the war. Just because a bunch of stupid Americans cannot fathom a nation that was, and would have been, far more technologically advanced does not preclude the fact."
So by the 2040s we'll have catch up their their what? Jet engine technology?
What technology are you referring to? Please provide examples that we may be enlightened.
I repeat my request that you tell us more of Nazi anti-gravy, magnetic propulsion systems. Please helps us to become more enlightened. Your vague references do not satisfy our thirst for knowledge. How do you know these things? Where can we learn more?
I'll leave dealing with your jealousy of Americans alone. You're not paying me enough to even joke about that monumental task.
bara perharps you should have a history lesson and realize that america stole germanys top minds, que operation paperclip i beleive it was called. there was discovery of anti-gravity, but nothing to the degree of propultion. america continues to be a haven for top minds and uses educational as well as free visas to promote the migration of intelligence. thank you for proving intelligence, or the lack there of has nothing to do with where you live ![]()
germans did have the first inter-continental bomber under way in the attempts to attack america, but that never seen the light of day, aswell a vast majority of thier advances can be chalked up to thier wicked choice on expirimenting with millions of poor helpless victims.
