The End of Pompeii and Herculaneum (August 24-25, A.D. 79) Part 1 of 3

This three-part series captures the final moments of Pompeii and Herculaneum, two Italian towns that were destroyed by Mt. Vesuvius' devastating eruption. It brings the reader back in time, chronologically piecing together the horrific events using many of the words and observations from the people of that time who were in the best position to know.

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!

Mars - Planets Taste Better With Chocolate

Is there life on Mars? If there is, they probably don't want uninvited guests. Hoping to find life shouldn't be a reason to ignore the lives in front of you.

Biotechnology Market

The biotechnology market is an ever-expanding, demanding, controversial and lucrative market. As long as the need for something better and the hunger for knowledge exist, biotechnology will be the crux for much crucial development and enhancement.

Sundials: Do they Really Tell Time?

Sundials have been around since the days of the Sumerians, some five thousand years ago, and were the earliest known means of keeping time. As to whether you can actually tell time by using a sundial, that's a bit trickier.

Sun Spot Activity and Earthquakes; Related?

It seems that as the Sun Spot activity increases and we get solar flares we often also seem to have Earth Events. Have you ever noticed that Hurricanes intensify during high peaks of Sun Spot or Solar Flare activity?

Chemistry Course Got You Down? Here's Hope

If you're struggling through high school or college chemistry, take heart. In 2003, a man who got a D in chemistry in high school won the Nobel Prize, the most prestigious award any chemist could ever receive.

Reversing Mother Nature-Part Three

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.

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

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.

Random Number Generators: True Randomness

A survey of various random number generating algorithms are studied and presented. Their applications are numerous; but of particular interest is the historical and mathematical value, and the uses of various random number generation algorithms in Cryptography. The presented algorithms are compared and contrasted for their various efforts to recreate the events of randomality. This brings into question, the essence of randomality and the feasibility of its pursuit by these and other algorithms.

Seismic Events, Cycle, Patterns and Proof

There are many theories floating around out there on how Earthquakes occur, in fact many believe that some cycles happen almost like clockwork and there is evidence, which actually seems to condone such areas of thought on seismic activity.
