Here’s a variety periodic tables in case you periodically need one. Remember, the keys to the mysteries of the universe all lie within the tables below.
As science enthusiasts ourselves, we understand the importance of staying up-to-date with the latest developments in science. That’s why we bring you the latest discoveries, innovations, and advancements in the world of science, keeping you informed and up-to-date on the latest trends and breakthroughs.
It’s a hauntingly beautiful phenomenon created by an unusually high concentration of Noctiluca scintillans (or Sea Sparkles), a single-celled bioluminescent algae of the dinoflagellate species that turns the water a brilliant, glowing, ethereal blue. Floating in swarms of millions and feeding on plankton and bacteria, it is believed that the Sea Sparkles generate their glow…
A professor at National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan has proposed a new model built from some of the most basic entities: time, space, mass, and length. In this new mind-bending model, time and space can be converted into each other and mass and length also convert in the same manner. Basically, as the universe…
Today the National Weather Service reported that the May 31, 2013 EF-5 tornado that struck El Reno, Oklahoma (25 miles west of Oklahoma City), was the widest tornado on record. Measuring 2.6 miles across, it beat the previous 2.4-mile wide twister that hit Hallam, Nebraska on May 22, 2004. The Friday tornado and its resulting…
We knew that some storm chasers had been killed in Oklahoma last week but were not aware that storied storm chaser, Tim Samaras, one of the highly-respected stars of Discovery Channel’s Storm Chasers television series, was one of the victims of the May 31, 2013 twister. The twister that formed Friday near El Reno, Okla.,…
Russian scientists announced this week that they have found the body of a well-preserved fully-grown female mammoth trapped in the ice in Siberia. The creature has extremely well-preserved muscle tissue (colored a natural, fresh meat color) and shockingly, well-preserved, flowing blood. The pools of blood were found in cavities underneath the belly of the beast.…
Harvard engineers created this tiny flower using a technique called “hierarchical microarchitectures”. The tiny but intricate plant shapes, such as vases, flowers, and leaves, begin with a glass plate dipped into a mixture of silicon and minerals (most importantly, barium chloride salts). As the solution solidifies, engineers make minor adjustments to the environment in order…
Scientists believe that they have finally solved the question of what caused the Irish potato famine which destroyed potato crops in Ireland causing the deaths of millions of people. A research team from Norwich, England, used dried leaf cuttings, some of which were nearly 170 years old, to reconstruct the spread of the HERB-1 strain…
