Gas solubility in water decreases pretty strongly due to the gaseous phase being more entropic (in governing thermodynamic potentials the entropic term is -T•∆S). Unfortunately this is unavoidable with rising temperatures.

Oxygen has very low solubility in water, which decreases with temperature. Haemoglobin binds iron atoms, which bind oxygen molecules, allowing storage of oxygen by the protein. IIRC, this increases the oxygen carrying capacity of blood appr

I spend the vast majority of my computer time reading text. System 76's Cosmic DE will finally have good subpixel font rendering. That is one thing that will convert me from Windows.

Thanks for sharing various projects. Any tools for materials science that can create summary tables of things like material, application, performance would be really valuable.
