As early as toddlerhood, our brains have been ingrained with the fundamental principle that one plus one equals two. This notion: that when you add two things together, you achieve a sum that is larger than either of the two original inputs, is near common sense. However, as in all sectors science, there are exceptions Read the full article…
The symbiosis between humans and ornamental or “domesticated” plants should be studied for insight regarding mutualism and the negative effects of exploitative relationships. Mutualism, as defined by modern ecological scientists, provides evolutionary fitness benefits and increases the likelihood of genetic transfer (Herre et al. 1999). Since the Neolithic period from around 8000 BC to 3000 Read the full article…
Have you ever noticed that when your laptop is running for sometime it begins to get warm? A common issue across industry, research and even day-to-day activities is overheating technology. Due to electrical resistance in device components, most technology produces heat as a by-product. Electrical resistance was a difficult phenomenon to overcome, but it started Read the full article…
In the grand battle of mass extinction, many species didn’t stand a chance, with creatures like the wooly mammoth, saber tooth tiger, and dinosaurs, all slowly becoming victims to time. To this day, many of these creatures still remain widely unknown, leaving their physiology and behavioural nature as a mystery. Yet despite the passing years, one species Read the full article…
Studying things we cannot see has always been a challenge in science. Places like space, the deep ocean, and underground have always been lacking in research, simply because we cannot access them. One of these systems that we quite literally live and breathe is plants. Roots are the hidden half plants that biologists often disregard, Read the full article…
With a reported cell mortality of roughly 60 billion every day, it’s a miracle organisms like humans continue to exist, often living to ages above 80 years (Liu et al., 2018). Nonetheless, despite these absurd numbers, babies grow into adults, and adults age until they ultimately pass away. The primary reason for this cycle of Read the full article…
Since the Food and Drug Administration approved over-the-counter and prescribed Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO), many people suffering from acne vulgaris have found a treatment for this very common problem (Matin and Goodman, 2024). Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory disorder, that causes pimples primarily on the face, but can occur on the back, abdomen, and upper arms Read the full article…
The Scientific Revolution began in the 14th century, and it was a time where many scientific discoveries came to fruition. (World History Encyclopedia, 2024). In the 17th century, Sir Isaac Newton discovered the properties of gravity (National Geographic, 2024). The theory of the water cycle was tested and substantiated by Pierre Perrault in the 17th Read the full article…
