The current special issue of Science Fiction Studies is entirely devoted to exploring Chinese science fiction. Few western readers are familiar with Chinese contributions to the genre, though SF has been popular in China since the early twentieth century.

This also contributed to the revival of Chinese sf, which has developed steadily in the past two decades, although it has not been without its challenges. In 2000, for instance, J.K.

Sulfuric acid dehydrates sugar. That sounds pretty tame, until you see that dehydration means that a huge, black, sugary pillar crawls up out of the beaker and comes after you. How much damage can sulfuric acid really do That depends primarily on stanley isolierkanne what it comes in contact with. While it can do a lot of damage to metal and of course to human skin one big no-no for anyone working with sulfuric acid is putting it in contact with water. Yes, water is used to dilute acids, but the practice is to always add a little acid to a lot of water, and not water to the acid. The sulfuric acid will jam an extra proton on the water, making the water into H3O, and giving it a positive charge while the acid has a negative charge. This process gives off a lot of heat, which can cause the entire liquid to boil violently. People who add a little water to acid will often get splattered with concentrated acid as the liquid boils. No problem, right How hard is it to keep water away from acid More things have water in them than you think. Cotton has water, or at least hydrogen and oxygen, as part of its structure.
