Competitions Past and Present: A Short History of Science Fairs

Science fairs past and present have been and continue to be important to the scientific community.

Schwassmann Wachmann Comet 73P She Is Breaking Up

NASA says not to worry about the comet and yes it is breaking up as it heads on its way towards the sun. It will come very close to earth but the comet will not hit Earth NASA scientists say.

DOE and Advanced Energy Initiatives

Most Americans do not realize that the Department of Energy has been working on the advanced energy initiatives to help our nation through its energy crisis. The goal is simple to keep up with the increasing demands in the United States of America

Reversing Mother Nature-Part One

We talked to North America’s leading In Situ Leach (ISL) uranium mining engineers, and had them explain exactly how ISL worked. Most of the significant ISL operations in the United States were designed and/or constructed by these engineers. They explained how ISL mining is really just reversing the process of Mother Nature.

Chemical Safety

Handling chemicals can be very dangerous. All of these measures will help to keep you and those around you safe when dealing with chemicals.

Future Highways: Three Possible Futures for the Human Race

There are three primary highways our future can take and an infinite number of detours possible along each path. The greatest number of these possibilities are just a repetition of our past, with enumerable rises and falls along the way (the higher the rise the harder the fall), spanning into the distant future.

Could a Comet Hit the Earth and Trigger a Tsunami in the Atlantic?

Currently we have a Comet which has broken up and whose fragments will be flying by Earth. Do not worry no fragments of any large size are expected to hit the Earth so we are safe. But what if a similar scenario in the future occurred and one did? Well sure that could happen and we occasionally here about large asteroids, meteors and Comets...

Does Our DNA Have Memory?

It is widely accepted that characteristics which an organism acquires during one's life are not imprinted on the genetic material (DNA) and therefore are not transferred to the next generation. It might sound ridiculous but is there a chance that the above statement is not 100% true?

Stargazing With Someone Else's Telescope!

Do some remote stargazing by using telescopes based at a professional observatory in the Canary Islands. Watch along with people from over 60 countries or select the objects you'd like to point the telescopes to yourself. Now you can look deep into the night sky without needing your own telescope!

What Causes the Seasons?

The seasons of the year are integral to the survival of most life on earth, affecting migratory patterns, spawning and hibernation among many other factors, but what exactly causes these yearly climatic changes?

How Volcanoes Affect Our Climate

Scientists believe that large volcanic eruptions can have an effect on global climate, the gas and debris they expel actually able to cool the weather over most of the globe. Several instances of this circumstance have been studied over the years, with mixed results.

New York City Blizzard of 2006

This article summarizes the record-setting Blizzard of 2006 that buried New York City and much of the tri-state region in February 2006. It discusses this historic storm from start to finish.

Just What is Science?

Just what do we mean when we say science? It conjures up images of people in white lab coats carefully measuring colorful liquids in odd shaped flasks.
