At 18, Katie Stubblefield lost her face. At 21, she became the youngest person in the U.S. to undergo the still experimental surgery. Follow her incredible story.
Each orbital can hold only two electrons. Also, the orbitals have a specific order of filling, generally: However, there is some overlap (any chemistry textbook has the details). The resulting model of the atom is called the quantum model of the atom. Sodium has 11 electrons distributed in...
Building the International Space Station (ISS) is much like building a toy using a child's LEGO or K'nex building block set. But whereas those playthings tend to be small in scale, the ISS contains thousands and thousands of parts [source: Hollingham]. Some of the major components are li...
Once you have the bottom and sides cut out, you can start to "stitch and glue" the hull together. This is a technique used usually for smaller boats to be able to pull the hull form together without the need to build a frame or mold (which can take almost as long and as much wood...
It didn't turn out too bad for a project that can be completed in a weekend. The best part is you can adjust the size, color, amount of shelves, or trim work to fit your need. Considering the alternative -- buying bookcases for twice as much that don't hold as many books -- th...
What is the orbital floor? What is an air mass meter? What is a measurement ton? What limits the height of mosses? What is sheathing mycorrhiza? What SI units are used to measure volume? How much fluid can your bladder hold? How many stamens are in alstroemeria?
a beast weighing more than 4.5 million suns. Usually, these giant black holes are quiet and dormant, just sipping on whatever bits of gas or stars that wander too close. But occasionally, they feast on a much larger meal. When they do, that gas swirls around them and compresses, reaching...
BL-2 is located under the innermost section of each of your eyebrows, in the top-inner region of each of your orbital sockets. When pressing on this point, you should feel direct contact with the bony surface of your orbital socket. ...
The Squall is a new entry-level hauler that has boosts to infrastructure hold capacity and missile damage, making it a great ship to take on raids where you think you’ll earn a large pile of loot. While they won’t be much use in frontline combat, if you’re flying with other player...
This ratio tells you how much horizontal distance a glider can travel compared to the altitude it has to drop. Modern gliders can have glide ratios better than 60:1. This means they can glide for 60 miles if they start at an altitude of one mile. For comparison, a commercial jetliner ...
