With climate change, US ecosystems have shifted hundreds of miles north.

As climate change continues, we’ll likely see animal habitats adjust and shift around the country. Right now scientists think the animal movement will be more pronounced in northern areas of the world.

The jet stream is a strong wind current flowing about 10 miles above the ground. In the Northern Hemisphere, it almost always blows from west to east and always in a fairly straight line. The jet stream is extremely important to weather systems – it drives the weather patterns throughout the year.

It seems as if Neanderthals were not as dumb as scientists thought. Archaeologists rummaging around in a cave in Italy found some of the oldest known evidence of the Neanderthals using glue on their stone tools. The process is called “hafting” and it wasn’t believed the slope-headed cousins of Homo sapiens knew how to do…

The Dunhuang molten salt solar power plant will provide 390 million kWh of clean power each year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 3500 tons. And it can run 24-hours a day, even when the sun does not shine. It does this by storing energy in a molten salt solution for later use.

Buzz Aldrin and the U.S. Flag on the moon

We’ve all seen the pictures of astronauts triumphantly placing an American flag on the surface of the moon, evidence of mankind’s excursion to a heavenly body far from home. But flag planting wasn’t as easy as the astronauts made it seem.

Electrolytically refined pure (99.989 %) superficially oxidized lead nodules and a high purity

The only way to tell if paint contains dangerous lead is to test it. Here is a well-known oxidation-reduction reaction that can be used to test for the presence of lead.

Haliaeetus leucocephalus or as more commonly called... Bald Eagle

Eagles are regal, powerful animals. At the top of the bird food chain, they can grow up to 7-foot wide and weigh up to 15 lbs. They can carry their weight (15 pounds) while flying (about the weight of a baby mule deer). Their eyes are extremely powerful, about 3-times more powerful than a human’s…

No, these golden beauties are not fine jewelry or decorative trinkets. Although they look metallic, they are actually made of chitin, the material that gives some insects their shiny look. And inside these chitin containers, are baby butterflies!

It’s true. Mosquitoes prefer biting some people over others and now scientists know why. As it turns out, about 20% of people are especially yummy to mosquitoes. Here’s why.

We know that planets revolve around the Sun but did you know the entire solar system is moving through space? The Sun and the entire solar system orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy at a speed of about 500,00 MPH. If we take into account the movement of the solar system, the…

How does global warming change our weather patterns?

Neanderthals weren’t as stupid as dumb scientists thought – they could make fire and used resin ‘glue’ to craft their stone tools and stuff.

Solar power scientists are now using molten salt to store the sun’s energy. Here’s the science of how it works.

Are the American flags on the Moon still standing? If so, what do the flags on the Moon look like today?

An eagle has amazing eyes – it can even see UV light which lets it track an animal by its urine trail.

The shiny cocoons of the orange-spotted tiger clearwing butterfly look like beautiful gold jewels.

Here’s why mosquitoes bite some people more than others.
