"Then arose new architects who after the manner of their barbarous nations erected buildings in that style which we call Gothic (dei Gotthi)." Florentine historiographer Giorgio Vasari (15111574) was the first to label the architecture of preceding centuries "Gothic," in reference to the Nordic tribes that overran the ...
Ducks and geese follow ancient pathways from their breeding grounds to wintering areas, an epic journey that has amazed mankind for millennia. Each fall, millions of waterfowl migrate south to warmer regions in search of food and habitat. We don’t know for certain how ducks and geese navigate during migration, but scie...
Lightning struck the Sahara desert about 15,000 years ago, and left a sign of its presence behind. The heat from the lightning reached a little over 1,800C and melted certain elements in the soil until they fused together. This solid form, called a fulgurite, most often shows up in sandy soil, or soil with a lot of qua...
An Introduction to Hummingbirds The hummingbird family, Trochilidae, occurs only in the Western Hemisphere, where it is second only to the tyrant flycatchers in number of species.

Bryophytes are small, low‐growing plants of mostly moist environments in the temperate and tropical zones where they grow on the ground and as epiphytes on the trees and undergrowth. In the alpine and boreal zones, bryophytes often are the dominant life form. Some bryophytes are desert dwellers, and a few are aquatic; ...
Superfluidity is a scientific term for when a liquid is made so cold that it loses its usual molecular patterns. When a liquid becomes superfluid its atoms become so well-ordered that they behave, in effect, like a single atom and disobey the rules of classical physics. This allows them to flow without losing any energ...
Flip a Sun's pole for more dust Astronomers once thought they understood how the Sun worked. A large ball of gas, generating energy by nuclear fusion, it also created a magnetic field enclosing Earth and the other planets in a gigantic magnetic bubble. This bubble protected us from the dusty cosmic debris that shoots t...

Wild fires today affect warm, forested regions of the world on several continents, but they once took place in Britain too. A wild fire, bush fire or forest fire is an uncontrolled fire in a wild habitat. When a heat wave or drought dries out the plants in an area, a fire can start and spread quickly. Fires can be acci...
Like stars, planets form from massive clouds of dust and gas. But why these dust clouds tend to converge into one body is a question that the astronomical community has struggled to answer. The process of tiny grains of dust aggregating into pebble-sized pieces is well-understood, as is the process of asteroid-sized "p...

In 1638, Sweden was a world power. One of the ways it showed this was by planting a Swedish colony between the rival claims of the New Netherland colony on the Hudson River, and of England’s Lord Baltimore’s claim to Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. The New Sweden colony in America was built on the Delaware River with s...
The fear is that with the higher latitudes of the planet warming extremely rapidly, that heat itself, and some of its consequences — such as raging wildfires in northern forests — could unleash a climate disaster. Perennially frozen northern soils, known as permafrost, contain enormous amounts of carbon because the slo...
We all remember the dreaded science fair projects from our own childhood, right? But for most of us, the science fair was part of a traditional public school experience.
