What is Molecular Biology?
Molecular biology is the science of study of biology at the
molecular level.
William Astbury in Nature described molecular biology as:
"... not so much a technique as an approach, an approach
from the viewpoint of the so-called basic sciences with the
leading idea of searching below the large-scale
manifestations of classical biology for the...........
Growing Mushrooms at Home Using Straw and/or Manure
There are some species of mushrooms that will benefit from
using straw or manure as a bulk substrate to maximize
fruiting potential. If you would like to grow Portabellas,
all of the Oyster mushrooms, Shaggy Manes, the Paddy Straw
mushroom, or the King Stropharia mushroom you should use
your colonized substrates as spawn to inoculate...........
Tiwanaku Alien and Evolution
It was mentioned on a biology blog that archaeological
engravings from the Tiwanaku civilization in Bolivia are
unlikely to be depicting an ancient astronaut for the reason
that, even with an aquatic tail, the creature still looks
too much like a human. The underlying argument was that the
evolution of life forms is so diverse...........
Understanding Bacteria and Enzymes
The adaptable nature of bacteria makes it possible to
exploit particular strains for their beneficial qualities.
The natural biodegradation of organic waste can be greatly
enhanced by the introduction of naturally occurring, non
genetically engineered, non pathogenic bacteria.
Biodegrading "specialists" are scientifically selected for
their exceptional enzyme production and long term
stability.
In the natural environment, both bacteria,...........
Scientist's Study Of Brain Genes Sparks a Controversy
Last September in Chicago, Bruce Lahn a professor of human
genetics from the University of Chicago, attended a packed
lecture hall and produced reports of a new DNA analysis: He
had found signs of recent evolution in the brains of some
people, but not of others.
It was a very triumphant moment for the young...........
Understanding Telemetry
Will telemetry work for your industry? This is an amazing
way of measuring. You will find that it is used commonly as
a means of measuring things at a distance. Normally, it is
used by scientists and engineers who need to measure things
that are nowhere near them. The uses of telemetry are varied
and...........
Galactic Mystery Matter On the Dark Side
Heralding a new age in the cosmos, Norwegian Kristian
Birkeland predicted that the universe likely consisted of an
exotic component that would later be called dark matter. His
comments about this subject matter appeared in a description
of the Norwegian Aurora Polaris Expedition (1902-1903).
Birkeland's ideas about the Expedition were published in the
fateful year of...........
Hubble Telescope
One of the most important telescopes in the history of
astronomy, the Hubble telescope has allowed observers to
peer farther into space than any previous telescope. By
moving outside and above the atmosphere of the earth, the
Hubble telescope has been able to observe visual data much
more clearly than a terrestrial telescope, and it...........
Stars
A star is a massive body of plasma in outer space that is
currently producing or has produced energy through nuclear
fusion. The most familiar and closest star to the Earth is
the Sun. Unlike a planet, from which most light is
reflected, a star emits light because of its intense heat.
Scientifically, stars are...........
Telescopes
The word "telescope" (from the Greek tele = 'far' and
skopein = 'to look or see'; teleskopos = 'far-seeing')
usually refers to optical telescopes, but there are
telescopes for most of the spectrum of electromagnetic
radiation and for other signal types.
An optical telescope is an optical tool that gathers and
focuses electromagnetic radiation. Telescopes increase...........
Galaxies
A galaxy is a gravitationally bound system of stars,
interstellar gas and dust, plasma, and (possibly) unseen
dark matter. Typical galaxies contain 10 million to one
trillion (107 to 1012) stars, all orbiting a common center
of gravity. In addition to single stars and a tenuous
interstellar medium, most galaxies contain a large number of
multiple...........
Star Formation
Star formation is the process by which hydrogen & helium in
molecular clouds change into the ball of plasma we call a
star.
According to current theories of star formation, cores of
molecular clouds (regions of especially high density) become
gravitationally unstable, fragment and begin to collapse
(sometimes, shockwaves from supernovae will trigger star
formation in nearby...........
