286: The Advantage Of Using Wind Energy
While some of these places are just starting up their wind farms and wind energy harnessing management, other countries have a fully molded plan to use this renewable resource to energy their homes and cities. With the price (and pollution levels) of traditional energy sources such as burning coal and other combustible resources being extremely hig
287: The Affects of Frozen Water And Dew
Do you know what the frost on your cars and the ground is? It is morning dew, which is water that comes in the morning when you wake up. It will be on your grass, trees, leaves, windows, and everywhere that you can see outside. The frost only comes when it is cold outside, so don't walk on it with your bare feet because your feet will feel so cold
288: The Beginning of the Telescope
One day hundreds of years ago, a man named Galileo Galilei had the idea that if he could fashion some sort of instrument to look into the night sky, he could see the stars and planets better. Thus, the telescope was born. Since then, telescopes have evolved into powerful instruments that allow us to research planets, stars, and explore the night
289: The End Of The Dinosaurs
The Jurassic and Cretaceous periods are known as the time of the dinosaurs. During these two vast eras of time the world was dominated by these giant reptiles. Some of the sauropod herbivores are the largest animals to have ever walked the planet, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex is the largest ever land predator. The periods also saw the development of f
290: The Importance Of Venus In The Solar System
The solar system consists of nine planets and the Venus planet is the second planet of the solar system. The Sun and the planet Mercury form the structure of the solar system and the solar system is 360 degree circular in shape.
The planet Venus is positioned the second from the Sun and it takes nearly 225 days for revolving around the Sun. Ven
291: The Importance Of Water Purification To The World
Water is the key to a person's survival because without water survival is simply not an option. However, water has to be purified in order to drink otherwise bacteria in the water can be harmful to your organs if drunk in normal consumption. This is highlighted especially in third world countries such as Ethiopia and Gambia where many people die
292: The Large Hadron ColliderMaking Physics Almost Interesting
You may be forgiven for thinking that LHC is a new type of drug designed to be smoked in a pipe, but It is in fact the a piece of scientific equipment which will hopefully explain how we got here today.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the biggest, most expensive science experiment the world has ever seen. Two years late and four times over b
293: The Next Generation of Space Telescopes
Originally dubbed the Next Generation Space Telescope, what is now known today as the James Webb Space Telescope is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. Scheduled to launch sometime in 2013, the Next Generation Space Telescope is being designed to be bigger and better than the Hubble with many more capabilities.
The James Webb Space Tel
294: The Potentials Of Wind In Energy Generation
While most of the Earth is still dependent on different types of fossil fuels (such as oil, natural gas and coal) for their energy supply, several countries are trying to come up with alternative ways of obtaining energy. To generate energy from wind, people must focus on an idea known as kinetic energy. A lot people see wind energy as the medium o
295: The Resistivity Meter%3B Applications In The Electrical And Mining Industries
Resistivity is the term used when describing the specific electrical resistance of a material. Put into lay mans terms it is a measurement of the resistance of any given material to electric current; it is normally measured using a resistivity meter. A material that has a high resistivity will impede the flow of electricity greatly while those with
296: The Science Behind the Optical Telescope
An optical telescope is a telescope that is used to gather and focus light mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The optical telescope allows the user to directly view a magnified image of something far away. The term is used especially for a monocular with static mounting for observing the sky.
There are three primary
297: The Science of Early Learning
Your baby is born with most of the brain cells she will ever have, but during her first 12 months in the world, her brain will become increasingly complex. By the time she reaches the age of two, her brain will already be 75 percent of its adult weight. By the age of three, it will have reached 90 percent of its adult weight.
Almost 50 percent o
298: The Science Of SmokingHow Smell Works
One of the worlds largest and most valuable jewel collections, the Imperial Crown Jewels of Persia, or Crown Jewels of Iran, consists of a mind-boggling number of treasures. On display at the Museum of The Treasury of National Iranian Jewels in Tehran, Iran, the collection ranges from breathtaking tiaras to jewel-studded swords to princely thrones,
299: The Second Planet from the Sun
Venus is the second planet from the Sun and is the sixth largest. It is the brightest object in the night sky except for the Moon. Venus orbits the Sun once every 224.7 Earth days and gets as close to the Sun as 107.476 million kilometers and as far away from the Sun as 108.942 million kilometers. This makes the orbit of Venus less elliptical and m
300: The Story Of The Sea Floor
On the sea floor, over 10,000 feet below us, lies a world very different from ours. The sheer depth of the sea floor ensures that few can unravel the mysteries it contains, as even catching a glimpse is no simple task! Nevertheless, man's desire to discover and explore our world is insatiable, and we have developed various ways to study and underst
