TiO2 (anatase) – based photocatalyst powders containing up to 1.00 wt% of magnesium(II) and copper(II) were synthesized using sol– gel method. The powders were characterized by UV–visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption–desorption (...

Although entropy change – the process described by Clausius and characterized as the second law of thermodynamics – involves only two terms, energy change and temperature, neither he nor distinguished scientists of the past century focused on that fact. The novel word “entropy”...

Magnesium isotope effect manifests itself in the enzymatic ATP synthesis at relatively high concentrations of Mg2+ ions. At low concentrations, there is no isotope effect at all so the nucleophylic mechanism of the ATP synthesis dominates. Concentration of Mg2+ ions exceeds intra...
