All bodies lose and gain thermal energy by means of electromagnetic radiation. The rate of energy loss depends on the temperature of the body. Stefan's Law states that the power radiated by a body – it's luminosity - is proportional to the 4th power of the absolute temperature T. Thus whereis the emissivity of the surf...

The majority of plant matter we have available to produce biofuels comes in the form of cellulose, a long polymer of sugars. It's easiest to convert this material to ethanol, but that creates its own problems: ethanol is less energy dense than petroleum-based fuels, and most vehicles on the road can't burn more than a ...

Last week I wrote a post on how even books for children and travel books state (incorrectly) that Galileo proved that the Earth circles the sun, as Copernicus had said it did. This post tells a strange story about Galileo’s efforts to prove that the Earth circles the sun. In Galileo’s time, no telescopic observation wa...
Can you imagine oceans without sharks? We may soon have to, as new research suggests may already be 90% of the way there. Studying shark populations can be tricky.

So much has been written lately about the gene-editing system known as CRISPR/Cas9 and its potential to transform the field of biology that it’s easy to forget why the dynamic DNA/enzyme duo evolved in the first place —to protect bacteria from viral invaders known as bacteriophages by gathering chunks of their DNA into...
ICARDA is based in the heart of an area - the Fertile Crescent - which is the birthplace of agriculture. This is where settled farming first began to emerge as people started the process of clearance and modification of natural vegetation in order to grow newly domesticated plants as crops. The Fertile Crescent is an a...
Beavers- the largest North American rodents, recognized by their rich brown fur, webbed hind paws, and large, flat tails- were trapped almost to extinction in North Carolina as well as in much of eastern North America during the colonial period, their valuable pelts being an important item of trade in the colonies.

What are species? When looking at different animals, it’s pretty easy to tell the difference between a dog and a cow, between a bird and a fish. That’s because these animals are different species: a set of organisms that can interbreed and produce living and fertile offspring. This is called the biological species conc...

Based on a principle developed by Evangelista Torricelli in 1643, the Mercurial Barometer is an instrument used for measuring the change in atmospheric pressure. It uses a long glass tube, open at one end and closed at the other. Air pressure is measured by observing the height of the column of mercury in the tube. At ...
Temperature extremes can alter the chemical and biological characteristics of soils. Urban locations often have higher soil temperatures than rural areas because of the heat that is absorbed by and reflected from buildings, sidewalks, streets, and vehicles.

In an expanding Universe, light waves get stretched, increasing their wavelength and shifting them to become more and more red (“redshift”). This is equivalent to the Doppler shift of an object moving away from us, so we often describe this as the recessional velocity. The redshift can be measured by taking the light o...

One of the most promising approaches to curbing the flow of human-made greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is to capture these gases at major sources, such as fossil-fuel-burning power plants, and then inject them into deep, water-saturated rocks where they can remain stably trapped for centuries or millennia. This is...
One of the main reasons sharks are such effective predators is their keenly attuned senses. Initially, scientists thought of sharks as giant swimming noses. When researchers plugged the nasal openings in captive sharks, the sharks had trouble locating their prey. This seemed to demonstrate that the shark's other senses...
