Marine algae are the undisputed champions of oxygen production in the ocean. Through photosynthesis, they absorb sunlight and release oxygen in exchange. Alone, these small...
Gravitational force is simply the attraction experienced by two objects that have a mass. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its attraction. Conversely, the...
Initially, the solar system was just a huge cloud of gas and dust, called a nebula. Gradually, due to gravity, this cloud began to collapse...
Rock formations sometimes take on human-like appearances due to a slow and natural process: erosion. Over the centuries, water, wind, and temperature changes gradually wear...
A low-pressure area is a zone where the air is less dense and lighter. It often begins when a mass of warm air meets cooler...
After a fire, some tree seeds take advantage of the freed space and the increased light to germinate easily. The fire eliminates the competition from...
A die rolls randomly due to gravity and its own inertia. If one face or edge is heavier, even slightly, it will favor certain positions, thereby reducing...
Our smartphones use lithium-ion batteries, in which chemical reactions allow for the storage and release of energy. When it’s hot, these chemical reactions become faster...
Orchids owe a lot to their pollinators. Bees, butterflies, birds, and even bats each have different preferences for colors, shapes, or scents. And since orchids...
Milk contains proteins, notably casein and the so-called whey proteins, which act as natural foam stabilizers. When milk is heated, these proteins migrate to the...
