Imperial College Boat Club
The Imperial College Boat Club was founded on 12 December 1919. The Gold medal winning GB 8+ at the 2000 Sydney Olympics had been based at Imperial College's recently refurbished boathouse and included 3 alumni of the college along with their coach Martin McElroy. The club has been highly successful, with many wins at Henley Royal Regatta including most recently in 2013 with victory in The Prince Albert Challenge Cup event. The club has been home to numerous National Squad oarsmen and women and is open to all rowers not just students of Imperial College London.

Imperial College TV
ICTV (formerly STOIC (Student Television of Imperial College)) is Imperial College Union's TV station, founded in 1969 and operated from a small TV studio in the Electrical Engineering block. The department had bought an early AMPEX Type A 1-inch videotape recorder and this was used to produce an occasional short news programme which was then played to students by simply moving the VTR and a monitor into a common room. A cable link to the Southside halls of residence was laid in a tunnel under Exhibition Road in 1972. Besides the news, early productions included a film of the Queen opening what was then called College Block and interview programmes with DJ Mike Raven, Richard O'Brian and Monty Python producer Ian MacNaughton. The society was renamed to ICTV for the start of the 2014/15 academic year.

Imperial College Union, il sindacato degli studenti dell' Imperial College, è gestito da cinque ufficiali sabbatici a tempo pieno eletti dal corpo studentesco per un mandato di un anno, e da un certo numero di membri permanenti del personale. L' Unione riceve dall' università una sovvenzione cospicua, che viene in gran parte destinata al mantenimento di circa 300 club, progetti e società. Esempi di gruppi studenteschi e progetti degni di nota sono il progetto Nepal che invia studenti dell' Imperial College a lavorare su programmi di sviluppo educativo in Nepal rurale e il progetto El Salvador, un progetto basato sulla costruzione in America centrale. L' Unione ospita anche club sportivi come l' Imperial College Boat Club e l' Imperial College Gliding Club.

The chemistry of zinc is dominated by the +2 oxidation state. When compounds in this oxidation state are formed the outer shell s electrons are lost, which yields a bare zinc ion with the electronic configuration [Ar]3d10. In aqueous solution an octahedral complex, [Zn(H
2O)6]2+ is the predominant species. The volatilization of zinc in combination with zinc chloride at temperatures above 285 °C indicates the formation of Zn
2Cl
2, a zinc compound with a +1 oxidation state. No compounds of zinc in oxidation states other than +1 or +2 are known. Calculations indicate that a zinc compound with the oxidation state of +4 is unlikely to exist.

Nel 2003 il Consiglio di Privy ha conferito all' Imperiale poteri di riconoscimento dei diplomi. Il London Centre for Nanotechnology è stato creato nello stesso anno come joint venture tra UCL e Imperial College London. Nel 2004 la Tanaka Business School (ora denominata Imperial College Business School) e la nuova Main Entrance on Exhibition Road sono state inaugurate da The Queen. Anche il Centro di ricerca per l' energia del Regno Unito è stato fondato nel 2004 e ha aperto la sua sede centrale presso l' Imperial College. Nel novembre 2005 le Facoltà di Scienze della Vita e delle Scienze Fisiche si sono fuse fino a diventare Facoltà di Scienze Naturali.

Compounds of hydrogen are often called hydrides, a term that is used fairly loosely. The term "hydride" suggests that the H atom has acquired a negative or anionic character, denoted H−, and is used when hydrogen forms a compound with a more electropositive element. The existence of the hydride anion, suggested by Gilbert N. Lewis in 1916 for group I and II salt-like hydrides, was demonstrated by Moers in 1920 by the electrolysis of molten lithium hydride (LiH), producing a stoichiometry quantity of hydrogen at the anode. For hydrides other than group I and II metals, the term is quite misleading, considering the low electronegativity of hydrogen. An exception in group II hydrides is BeH
2, which is polymeric. In lithium aluminium hydride, the AlH−
4 anion carries hydridic centers firmly attached to the Al(III).

The most common forms of uranium oxide are triuranium octoxide (U
3O
8) and UO
2. Both oxide forms are solids that have low solubility in water and are relatively stable over a wide range of environmental conditions. Triuranium octoxide is (depending on conditions) the most stable compound of uranium and is the form most commonly found in nature. Uranium dioxide is the form in which uranium is most commonly used as a nuclear reactor fuel. At ambient temperatures, UO
2 will gradually convert to U
3O
8. Because of their stability, uranium oxides are generally considered the preferred chemical form for storage or disposal.

The attainment of high efficiency in blue LEDs was quickly followed by the development of the first white LED. In this device a Y
3Al
5O
12:Ce (known as "YAG") phosphor coating on the emitter absorbs some of the blue emission and produces yellow light through fluorescence. The combination of that yellow with remaining blue light appears white to the eye. However using different phosphors (fluorescent materials) it also became possible to instead produce green and red light through fluorescence. The resulting mixture of red, green and blue is not only perceived by humans as white light but is superior for illumination in terms of color rendering, whereas one cannot appreciate the color of red or green objects illuminated only by the yellow (and remaining blue) wavelengths from the YAG phosphor.

Non è chiaro esattamente dove sia iniziata l' a cappella collegiale. La Rensselyrics dell' Istituto Politecnico Rensselaer (precedentemente noto come RPI Glee Club), fondato nel 1873, è forse il più antico gruppo collegiale noto a cappella. Citazione necessaria] Tuttavia il più lungo gruppo di canto continuo è probabilmente Il Whiffenpoofs della Yale University, che è stato formato nel 1909 e una volta incluso Cole Porter come membro. I gruppi di collegiate a cappella sono cresciuti durante tutto il XX secolo. Tra i gruppi storici di rilievo formatisi lungo il percorso si segnalano Tigertones dell' Università di Princeton (1946), The Colgate 13 dell' Università di Colgate (1942), Dartmouth College's Aires (1946), Cornell University's Cayuga's Waiters (1949) e The Hangovers (1968), l' Università del Maine Maine Steiners (1958), i re dell' Università di Columbia (1949), il Jabber. A breve seguirono i gruppi a cappella di tutte le donne, spesso come parodia dei gruppi maschili: gli Smiffenpoofs del Smith College (1936), gli Shwiffs del Connecticut College (The She-Whiffenpoofs, 1944) e i Chattertocks della Brown University (1951). A cappella gruppi esplose in popolarità a partire dagli anni' 90, alimentato in parte da un cambiamento di stile divulgato dalla Tufts University Beelzebubs e la Boston University Dear Abbeys. Il nuovo stile utilizzava le voci per emulare i moderni strumenti rock, comprese le percussioni vocali e le"beatboxing". Alcune università più grandi ora hanno più gruppi. Gruppi spesso si uniscono spesso in concerti on-campus, come il Massacro di Cherry Tree di Georgetown Chimes, un festival a cappella di 3 settimane che si tiene ogni febbraio dal 1975, dove sono comparsi oltre un centinaio di gruppi collegiali, così come l' International Quartet Champions The Boston Common e il gruppo commerciale contemporaneo a cappella Rockapella. Gruppi co-ed hanno prodotto molti artisti emergenti e importanti, tra cui John Legend, un alumno dei Controparti dell' Università della Pennsylvania, e Sara Bareilles, un' allumna di Awaken A Cappella presso l' Università della California, Los Angeles.

In the US, one kilowatt-hour (3.6 MJ) of electricity currently causes an average 1.34 pounds (610 g) of CO
2 emission. Assuming the average light bulb is on for 10 hours a day, a 40-watt bulb will cause 196 pounds (89 kg) of CO
2 emission per year. The 6-watt LED equivalent will only cause 30 pounds (14 kg) of CO
2 over the same time span. A building’s carbon footprint from lighting can therefore be reduced by 85% by exchanging all incandescent bulbs for new LEDs if a building previously used only incandescent bulbs.
