Also especially British, sulphur. Chemistry. a nonmetallic element that exists in several forms, the ordinary one being a yellow rhombic crystalline solid, and that burns with a blue flame and a suffocating odor: used especially in making gunpowder and matches, in medicine, in vulcanizing rubber, etc. Symbol: S; atomic weight: 32.064; atomic number: 16; specific gravity: 2.07 at 20° C.
Instead they generate energy for their metabolism by chemically changing … sulfur that they ingest.
They combined a mixture of hydrogen, carbon, and sulfur then fired a laser at it to trigger a chemical reaction and create a crystal.
A laser was shined at the compound for several hours to break down bonds between the sulfur atoms, thus changing the chemistry of the system and the behavior of electrons in the sample.
The hydrogen, carbon and sulfur compound operates as a superconductor at up to 59 degrees Fahrenheit, the team reported today in Nature.
Dias and colleagues formed the superconductor by squeezing carbon, hydrogen and sulfur between the tips of two diamonds and hitting the material with laser light to induce chemical reactions.
One easy way to build them back up is to take a bath with Epsom salts, which contain sulfur.
Sulfur boosts glutathione because glutathione is, in part, made up of sulfur molecules, explains Hyman.
Pfifferling, like most natural wine producers, adds no sulfur dioxide aside from minimal amounts when he bottles the wine.
The initial cause was probably a Siberian mega-volcano that spewed highly reflective sulfur particles into the atmosphere.
After he inhaled sulfur hexafluoride, a compound that acts like helium, his voice got very deep.
