Aniquilación

Annihilation (from the Latin «nihil» : nothing). Literally: transformation into nothing, annihilation; in physics , the process of transforming a particle and an antiparticle into other particles. The annihilation of the electron and positron – first observed in 1930 – whose collision produces photon emission is well studied . There is also the reverse process. The annihilation of the nucleon ( proton , neutron ) and of the antinucleon (antiproton, antineutron) of the hyperon is also known.and antihyperón. [one] The term “annihilation” is not exact, since when a … Read more

Thermal isolation

Thermal isolation. Thermal Insulation is defined as the ability of materials to oppose the passage of heat by conduction, which is evaluated by the thermal resistance of said materials. The measurement of thermal resistance or, what is the same, of the capacity to thermally insulate, is expressed, in the International System of Units (SI) in m².K / … Read more

Acoustic isolation

Acoustic isolation. Isolating means preventing a sound from entering or leaving a medium. Therefore, to insulate, both absorbent materials and insulating materials are used. When the acoustic wave impinges on a construction element, part of the energy is reflected, another is absorbed and another is transmitted to the other side as the vibration spreads to all the structural or construction … Read more
