There is nothing like using the palate to find out details about what lies ahead. And that thought took up its best first occupant of the Chair of Zoology at Oxford, William Buckland (1784-1856). Together with his son Francis, also a zoologist, William began to eat any animal that crossed his path , always with […]

The first real scientist – Part 3

This article is a continuation of ‘The first real scientist – Part 2’. Also, implemented the first experiments of light scattering between different component colors and studied shadows, rainbows and eclipses. And, by observing how light scatters in the atmosphere, did you figure that the thickness of the atmosphere was about 100 kilometers, which is […]

The first real scientist – Part 2

This article is a continuation of ‘The first real scientist’. As is commonly established, it is to investigate a phenomenon to acquire new knowledge or correcting and integrating previous theory, from data collection through observation and measurement, followed by the formulation and testing of hypotheses to explain the data . This is how science is […]

The first real scientist

It is al-Hassan Ibn al-Haytham , without doubt, a great physicist who deserves to go into the annals of history alongside Newton for his scientific stature Isaac Newton is, for many, the most important physicist of all time. At least, the undisputed father of modern optics, or so they tell us in school. Children study […]

Oxygen on Saturn

The Cassini spacecraft has captured molecular oxygen ions around Dione, an icy moon of Saturn, confirming the presence of a very thin atmosphere. The oxygen ions are very rare (one for every 11 cubic centimetres), showing that Dione has an extremely thin neutral atmosphere. The detection of this thin atmosphere, known as the exosphere, is […]

Zombie Ants

The tropical carpenter ants (Camponotus Leonardi) live high in the treetops. When infected by a parasitic fungus (Ophiocordyceps unilateralis) the behaviour of these ants changes dramatically. Behaves erratically and act as zombies, and are manipulated by the fungus to death in order to obtain optimal conditions for the reproduction of fungi. The new research, published […]

The Aircraft that was lost in time – Part 1

Scientists and researchers have carried out a number of researches to deduce a phenomenon which has caused aeroplanes to lose their technical assistance. One such incident has never been explained. This phenomenon occurred in Spain a few decades ago and today, still remains shrouded in the same unknowns that were generated on the day the […]

Magnetic Soaps – A New Revolution

Magnetic Soaps – A New Revolution A team led by Julian Eastoe, University of Bristol in Britain, has synthesized soap molecules that are sensitive to a magnetic field. Such substances open the way to control liquid emulsions simply by applying an external magnetic field, which would be useful in many situations. Soap molecules are surfactants, that […]

Children of the jungle – Part 2

Children of the jungle – Part 2 This article is a continuation of ‘Children of the jungle – Part 1’.
