Heralded as a revolution by people who need glasses to read, laser eye surgery can eternally change your vision by reshaping the cornea. After a hinged flap is cut a portion of the cornea is revealed and exposed to laser pulses that vaporise the cornea and correct the shape permanently. This procedure can help […]
A Dutch science teacher accidentally discovered what may be a new, astrological phenomenon. While Hanny van Artel was helping the Web site Galaxy Zoo identify galaxies, she spotted a greenish, gaseous object with a hole in it. Because it doesn’t have stars and thus can’t be a galaxy, astronomers think it is light from a […]
Kids are all reeling from the excitement of the Olympic Games these last few weeks, but can they relate any of that to science? Absolutely!
Aspiring athletes, or students struggling with a scientific concept, may find that the perfect demonstration is sports. Many kids love sports, and sports are science. Every skill, movement, victory, and loss […]
Pheromones are chemicals emitted by living organisms to send messages to individuals of the same species. The idea that chemical communication takes place between individuals of the same species was advanced as early as the late 17th century the first evidence in support of this was obtained in the 19th century by the French priest […]
A catastrophic event occurred in 1980 in the United States that created an incredible study opportunity for scientists:
The eruption of Mount Saint Helens in the state of Washington, and several associated events that followed.
Darwinian scientists holding to the belief that it took millions and even billions of years for Darwinian evolution to take place were […]
The Jurassic and Cretaceous periods are known as the time of the dinosaurs. During these two vast eras of time the world was dominated by these giant reptiles. Some of the sauropod herbivores are the largest animals to have ever walked the planet, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex is the largest ever land predator. The periods […]
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is actually a major cause of disability and death in the world. It is a leading killer of people who are beneath the age of 45. The major causes of TBI include violence, falls, sports injuries and motor vehicle accidents. People can often prevent accidents when the proper […]
Once photosynthesising cells present in the oceans had produced enough oxygen to form the ozone layer conditions on land were much more favourable to life than before. Without exposure to ultraviolet radiation cells were much more likely to survive being washed ashore. After a major extinction event 488 million years ago plants and fungi started […]
The United States military has a program to create an cat level artificial intelligence. This project is called systems of neuromorphic adaptive plastic scalable electronics (SyNAPSE). The term neuromorphic means the creation of digial neurons on a microchip that is able to mimic the functioning of real neurons. So its basically a […]
Appeasement, as the name itself suggests calms down, and puts you in peace. The use of pheromones is well known in agriculture to keep some insects away from plants. The so-called pheromonal communication is very strong in this Order. Social life and species recognition are triggered by the emission of the right pheromones. That is […]
