Fermions, Bosons and Anyons - Oh My!

Fermions and bosons are the building blocks of life, particles so small it takes special equipment to even detect them.  However, scientists have now discovered another particle that sits alongside these two particles.  They are known as "anyons".  How do they interact with these other life building blocks?  This article provides interesting insight into this newly discovered particle.

Temperature, Heat, Hot and Cold

Is temperature the same as heat?  Is it easier to produce heat or cold?  What is the law of thermodynamics?  This fascinating article delves into these subjects with some great illustrations to make understanding it easier.  

Black Holes Eating Black Holes - The Numbers Are Incomprehensible!

A black hole orbiting a black hole.  Accretion disk penetrations causing massive flares of brightness that produce, get this, a trillion times as much light as produced by the Sun. In fact, more luminous than our whole galaxy!  And because of the tremendous forces produced by gravity as predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity, the movement of one black hole orbiting the other changes by 39 degrees every revolution which is on a 12-year cycle.  But there's more! Read the whole intriguing, scientifically mind-bending article here.  Jehovah's power is unimaginable causing one to be aphonic. 

Creatures That Look Like Poo

Multiplication A Different Way

Math is amazing whether you enjoy it or not. The thing is, there are myriad ways to do the same thing.  Check out this interesting way to do multiplication which has been around for thousands of years, since the Egyptians.  Check it out here!

Color Glass Condensate

Another one of Einstein's theories is being proved in the lab.  Dealing with particles on the subatomic level, a state of matter known as color glass condensate is being observed and studied.  The science behind the theory gets rather technical, but is fascinating.  Check out the full article found on flipboard.com.

Corpses Found to Thrash Around for a Year After Death

It's bad enough to think of dying, or even to see a dead body, but to think, or see a body moving around for over a year after death?  That's macabre!  Check out this brief article about this odd phenomenon and how it could help forensic scientists.  

Glowing Sharks

Although sharks are not man-eaters like Hollywood would have us believe, they are still frightening creatures with their rows of razor-sharp teeth and stealthy attack abilities.  But how would you feel seeing a shark coming your way that was glowing bright green, especially at night?  Check out this interesting information on these fascinating creatures. 

Taking an MRI of an Atom

Scientists have now taken an MRI of an atom.  Yes, that's right.  An atom!  The scientists took the technology of MRI's and combined it with a scanning tunneling microscope and were able to take an MRI of an atom.  This fascinating article describes how this was done!

Gorilla Crow?

Crows are awesome!  I love them and their cousins, ravens.  They're intelligent, comical, odd, and often just plain intriguing.  Check out this picture and short article of explanation about a crow that looked like a gorilla standing on the sidewalk. As I said, odd but comical!
