Know what your plants need before fertilizing
In a perfect world, garden plants would feed themselves. As it is, we’ve got to help them along sometimes.
A solar purifier creates its own disinfectant from water and sunlight
The system could one day be adapted into solar-powered water purification stations for use in developing regions where fresh water is a precious commodity.
Research team aims to develop salmonella vaccine
At the University of Saskatchewan, researchers have been working on a novel salmonella vaccine that holds promise for preventing this food-borne infection.
Even Phenomenally Dense Neutron Stars Fall Like a Feather
Einstein’s understanding of gravity, as outlined in his general theory of relativity, predicts that all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of their mass or composition. This theory has passed test after test here on Earth, but does it still hold true for some of the most massive and dense objects in the known universe, an aspect of nature known as the Strong Equivalence Principle? An international team of astronomers has given this lingering question its most stringent test ever. Their findings, published in the journal Nature, show that Einstein’s insights into gravity still hold sway, even in one of the most extreme scenarios the Universe can offer.
Infrared NASA Image Reveals Hurricane Fabio's Power
When NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Hurricane Fabio in the Eastern Pacific Ocean it had strengthened into a hurricane hours earlier. Infrared imagery showed that Fabio appeared more organized.
