If you've ever longed to see Earth from space, now is your chance— with Science on a Sphere, a spectacular feature at the heart of the new exhibition Water: H_2O = Life. In this exhibit, a six-...
Even the circle, square, etc., of geometry exhibit a difference from the squares and circles of familiar acquaintance, and the further one proceeds in mathematical science the greater the remoteness from the everyday empirical thing. In one case, as in the other, the meaning, or intellectual ...
in the life of twins, in their actions, in their experiences, their professions, their accomplishments, their positions—in all the other circumstances of human life, and even in death itself, there is often found such a diversity that in those respects many strangers show more resemblance to ...
On a more localized scale, material around craters tends to exhibit a significant chemical contrast relative to surrounding regions, suggesting an excavation of material from the subsurface due to impacts from asteroids and comets. Distribution patterns seem to favor an impact rather than a volcanic ...
James Smithson was well aware that knowledge should not be viewed as existing in isolated parts, but as a whole, each portion of which throws light on all the other, and that the tendency of all is to improve the human mind, and give it new sources of power and enjoyment … narrow ...
However, unlike the ridged structures previously described, S-shaped lamellae do not exhibit a habit with more than one reversal of direction, i.e. curvatures of more than one wavelength are not observed. Nevertheless C-shaped structures, corresponding to one half of an S, are seen. A ...
You can't have a planet-city because of heat pollution, you can't have an FTL communication system because it creates causality loops, and so on. It's pretty depressing when every cool idea you ever have is getting shot full of holes, especially by someone who talks down to you. At ...
power; data were acquired with a spectral resolution of 0.125 cm−1, and at a heat-sink temperature of 15 K.dFar-field pattern emitted by a type-C RL withr/a = 18%, measured under the same operating conditions as (c), while scanning the pyroelectric detector on a sphere ...
Apart from a rather loose family resemblance, what gives them the unity they present stems from both geography and the difference they conjointly exhibit with respect to what is called Western Medicine. Does this mean that one should do better to get rid of the concept of TCM for good and ...
