The Chemistry between Matter and Communication

[Opinion - 5 min read] In this article, I use communication and language; matter and material interchangeably. Basically, both are related in this way – without matter, there is no communication, meaning that matter is the object of communication. The aim of this write-up is for us to appreciate the fact that communication is a key factor in our daily living and hence we must pay critical attention thereof. Let's understand some underlying terms herein as we move on.

The Miracle Metal: Steel!

Steel pipes. PC: qswownews.com BRIEF HISTORY OF STEEL Steel has been widely regarded as the ' miracle metal ', especially of the modern era. This is because of its diversity in property and widespread applications in many different areas. One of the earliest forms of steel, blister steel, began production in Germany and England in the 17th century and was produced by increasing the carbon content in molten pig iron using a process known as cementation. In this process, bars of wrought iron were layered with powdered charcoal in stone boxes and heated. Steel is all around us. It is used in major constructions such as skyscrapers, stadiums, roads and railways , as well as smaller product designs such as bolts, nails and screws. Steel in also used in vehicles, kitchenware, electronic equipment, and a whole lot more. WHAT IS STEEL? Steel is an alloy of Iron (Fe) and Carbon C in which the carbon composition is less than two percent (2%). The 'counter-material' of...

The Quality of Locally-manufactured Cornmill Grinding Plates

Corn mill A KNUST research has revealed people who consume corn-related foods risk contracting all kinds of cancers According to the research, the locally manufactured machine used to grind the corn into dough food wears off faster into the dry maize, thus contaminating it. A study by two lead researchers at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has revealed that consumers of corn-related foods risk contracting all kinds of cancers. The research was undertaken by Prof. Kwofie, who is the Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering (former) of the College of Engineering, and Dr. Anthony Andrews (now Professor) , the Head of Department (former)  for Materials Engineering . The study found that the metals used for the milling plates usually wear off when the food products are being grinded. This, the study said, opens consumers to the risk of contracting cancer, since the metals contain 'iron overloads' which are poisonous. ...
