In a cumulonimbus cloud, the rapid movement of air causes intense friction between ice and water particles. These continuous collisions strip and transfer electrons, creating...
Corals often live near the surface, where the sun's ultraviolet rays strike hard. To avoid this damage, they use an original trick: the production of...
Marine algae use specific pigments that are adapted to capture underwater light. Indeed, underwater, sunlight penetrates more difficultly, and certain wavelengths like red disappear quickly...
When carbon dioxide (CO₂) floats above the ocean, some of the gas naturally dissolves in seawater, like sugar in cold tea. It is a simple...
In fresh milk, the main proteins are caseins, initially dispersed in tiny particles called micelles. These small micelles, normally quiet and stable, begin to agitate...
Frogs produce their famous croak thanks to a vocal sac, a sort of small pouch under their throat that they inflate like a balloon. When...
Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms, represented by the formula O₃. It primarily forms thanks to the energy provided by the sun's...
The Mayans observed for years the movements of the Sun, the Moon, Venus, and other celestial bodies with the naked eye, but with astonishing precision. Through patience,...
When sunlight enters a droplet of water, its path changes slightly: this is called refraction. In the process, white light splits into several distinct colors...
Carnivorous plants have adapted due to a very particular environment: soils low in certain essential nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus. As they could not find...
