The Science of Forensic Investigation

The science of forensic investigation has been around for hundreds of years. In the past hundred years however, Forensic investigation has developed and the progress that has been made is astounding. The art of forensic investigation is used every day on crime scenes throughout the world. A forensic investigation refers to the investigation of a crime scene. A crime scene investigator reconstructs the crime scene, analyzing evidence and carefully documenting each one of their findings....

Energy Conservation

Our world is in a period of great change. We are experiencing global warming at a rate never seen before. The change is in redirecting our energy sources that will hopefully reverse this trend. Our fossil fuel supplies are slowly being depleted and likewise gradually being augmented with pollution free energy sources that do not need replacement.The technologies involved in renewable energy resources have advanced greatly in recent years and have now become part of individual nation energy...

Methane and Potential Impacts on Global Warming

Methane is a gas found on most planets with atmospheres. In limited amounts, it isn't a particularly problematic gas. In larger amounts, however, it can become a regulator of atmosphere temperatures.Methane and Potential Impacts on Global WarmingMethane is fairly common gas found in nature. It is produced from both natural elements of the biomass cycle and artificial industrial sources. Methane is classified as a greenhouse gas and is believed to contribute to global warming.Methane (CH4)...

Should We Allow Religious Doctrine to Cloud Science?

Should we allow religion and religious doctrine to cloud science? Didn't we already do that and it took years to prove the Earth was round? Recently in an online think tank conversation a religious researcher claiming to be correct on every account claimed that man was different than animals and refused to consider the recent finding that the DNA of humans and chimpanzees was 99% similar. One think tank member challenged her on this but she shot back;"I don't quite understand why you feel...

Is Evolution An Outdated Theory?

The question used to be, "Can evolution be proven?" Today, a more appropriate question is, "Is evolution science?"(The following is a condensed version of the chapter entitled "Genetics" of the book "Evolution: A Science Breakdown," available free at EvolutionDead.com.)To most people, science is seen as "today," modern, up-to- date, and perhaps even the promise of futuristic wonders. A generation which possesses supersonic jets, Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM's), space shuttles...

Do It Yourself DNA Testing

DNA testing was popularized only in recent years mainly due to having it extremely handy when it comes to high-profile criminal investigations as well as in paternity cases. DNA, otherwise known as deoxyribonucleic acid, is most commonly used in trying to prove the relationship of an individual to another person, that linking is aimed at trying to determine whether or not those two people are related or not.1. New Testing MethodsThere are also various new tests that have been created in...

Big Bang Booming - Back to the Future

Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. This ancient description of the creation of the universe found in the Book of Genesis may be accurate after all. The big bang theory describes the beginning of the universe as having been precipitated from an infinitesimally small point. In this small volume, all matter and energy was concentrated until its contents exploded in either a smooth expansion or an incredibly violent energetic explosion that formed the planets, stars...

Using the Sun for Power - How It Works

With massive rebate programs and tax credits being issued by state and federal governments, using the sun to generate electricity is very popular. So, how does it work?Generating electricity from the sun is all about converting sunlight into power. Importantly, the process has nothing to do with converting the heat produced by sunlight into energy. This common misconception leads to a lot of confusion regarding solar systems.The technology behind solar systems is known as photovoltaic technology....

What Do You Need to Know About Stem Cells?

Researches in medical science have been in development since the early existence of mankind. Since ancient times medical treatments have undergone huge advancement in the type of remedial options practiced for the cure of existing ailments in human body. The latest development in medical science is the use of stem cells for restoration of health. Stem cells in general term refers to the fertilized human embryo that has an ability to develop into any other 220 types of cells present in an...

Critical Density is Critically Crucial and Carefully Considered

Have you ever heard the term critical density? Have you ever carefully considered its implications? Critical Density can mean many things and at times it can be something that is critically crucial. Have you ever noticed the Fire Marshall "Maximum Density" signs near the entrances of dance halls, stadiums or community centers? Wouldn't you say that was indeed a very critical density and an important number to know? After all if something goes terribly wrong everyone might not be able to...

The Difference between Types I and II Supernovae

Type I and Type II supernovae have some characteristics in common while others are vastly different.Type I supernovae consist of explosions of white dwarf stars composed primarily of oxygen and carbon. The white dwarf absorbs the mass of a colliding nearby neutron star to increase to a mass of 1.4 times our sun. Ensuing density and temperature conditions result in the carbon beginning to burn explosively. Within one second, a nuclear fireball is created and the entire star is blown to...

Newton's Castle- Filled with Captivating Converging 2-12 Content Connections

Just like the scientific genius of Newton which is accessible to a multiplicity of ages and learners, so too, the Newton's Castle web resource provides a vast array of differentiated multidisciplinary curricula projects and investigative chambers within its pages.EARLY CHILDHOODLanguage ArtsA child in grade 2 or 3 can experience an online think aloud and read aloud using the animation/picture walk technique of balanced literacy as the child considers how and why light is refracted through...

UAV Carrier Launch with Landing Gear Up

Landing Gear on aircraft create one hell of a lot of drag, which if you are trying to slow down to land can be a very good thing. But if you are trying to get to flying speed and climb or maintain take off weight off a carrier, well it might be good to not have that drag hanging out there. In fact if we could get rid of the landing gear on take off then we maybe able to launch several Large UAVs at once. If we could launch three UAVs on each of three catapults then we could send up set...

Military Aircraft Inspection Benefits of Carbon Nano Tube Construction

The United States Military is almost completed with its special invisible aircraft bodies. This will help with preflight inspections, the required safety inspections and routine maintenance to our birds up and running. We have the most prepared military in the world and these carbon nano tubes with their transparent properties make it that much better.It is hard to inspect all parts of the aircraft, for instance the engine compartment, as it is covered up the cowling, it would be wise to...
