Neutronium (sometimes shortened to neutrium, also referred to as neutrite) is a possible substance composed entirely of neutrons.
The word was coined by scientist Andreas von Antropoff in 1926 (before the discovery of the neutron) for the hypothetical "element of atomic number zero" (with zero protons in its nucleus) that he placed at the start of the periodic table (denoted by dash, no element symbol).
However, the meaning of the term has changed over time, and since the last half of the 20th century it has been also used to refer to extremely dense substances resembling the neutron-degenerate matter speculated to exist in the cores of neutron stars.
Science fiction and popular literature commonly use the term "neutronium" to refer to a very dense phase of matter composed mostly of neutrons.

The Hall–Héroult process is the major industrial process for smelting aluminium.
It involves dissolving aluminium oxide (alumina) (mainly gotten from bauxite, aluminium's chief ore, through the Bayer process) in molten cryolite, and electrolysing the molten salt bath, usually in a purpose-built cell.
The Hall–Héroult process applied at industrial scale happens at 940–980 °C and produces 99.5–99.8% pure aluminium.
Recycled aluminum requires no electrolysis, thus it does not end up in this process.
This process contributes to climate change through the emission of carbon dioxide in the electrolytic reaction.

In meteorology, an isobar is a line on a map that connects areas with the same atmospheric pressure.
Wind is generally perpendicular to isobars.
When looking at the difference in pressure, it is also possible to estimate wind direction and speed.
The first person to use isobars was Alexander Buchan (1829-1907).
In thermodynamics, an isobaric process is a process, where the pressure stays constant.
To get an ideal gas to a different temperature, more heat is needed, because some  heat will be used to expand the gas.
This is different in an isochoric process, where the volume of the gas does not change.
