Retreating glaciers are proving to be good news for plant scientists. Underneath one such glacier on Ellesmere Island in Canada, researchers have found plants that they believe have regrown after being entombed in the glacier for more than 400 years, since a cold period called the Little Ice Age. These plants are calle...
When scientists discovered a few years ago that modern humans shared swaths of DNA with long-extinct Neanderthals, their best explanation was that at some point the two species must have interbred. Now a study by scientists at the University of Cambridge has questioned this conclusion, hypothesising instead that the DN...
Even as late as 1827, antislavery societies in the south outnumbered those in the north. Virginia had even considered a gradual emancipation plan in 1830s, though it was ultimately rejected. But as the nineteenth century progressed, such liberal sentiment began to ebb, with slavery becoming an increasingly integral par...
Bacteria are prokaryotes (unicellular organisms with no membrane-enclosed nucleus) with simple structures that typically range in size from about 0.5 to 20 micrometers. Bacteria are named according to the binomial (two-name) system of nomenclature first used by Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus in the eighteenth centur...
In the Arctic, competition within clouds is hot. The small amount of heat released when water vapor condenses on ice crystals in Arctic clouds, which contain both water and ice, determines the cloud's survival, according to scientists from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Environment Canada. This heat dries th...
Lyme Disease in Deer Deer often are implicated in the spread of Lyme disease. One of the tick species that harbors and spreads the disease is called the "deer tick" in some regions.

There is no need to recalculate, because the mass of the big black hole is already included when you measure the mass of a galaxy. A black hole is the same gravitational field as stars of the same mass, but its gravity is concentrated in a very small region by comparison. The mass distributions in galaxies are partly f...

Burning fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. Rather than contribute to global climate change, producers could convert carbon dioxide to a wide variety of hydrocarbons, but this makes sense to do only when using solar energy. "Recycling of ca...
We have looked at the basic elements of the short story: setting, character, conflict, point of view, plot, and theme. In addition to considering the elements of a short story we need to understand the various literary devices that an author may use. These literary devices guide our interpretation and help us to better...

The main value of compost is to replenish soil organic matter content, which is critical for plant growth. Without sufficient organic matter in soil, water can’t penetrate a dense mineral soil such as clay and runs right through a coarse soil such as sand. In either case, lacking organic matter, nutrients are carried a...
A tiny asteroid, having roughly the same orbit as the Earth, has been discovered. The companion asteroid is about 300 yards across. It leads the Earth as both the objects orbit the Sun. However, the asteroid has variable speed and a more eccentric orbit, often leading the Earth by as much as half-an-orbit. The finding ...

Personally, I've always thought that Venus gets a lot of bad press. Sure, it's wrapped in clouds so strongly acidic that they dissolved the first few probes we tried to land there, and it has a surface temperature high enough to melt lead - but just above the cloud decks of Venus, you'll find some of the most "Earth-li...
