Water striders spend most of their lives on the water’s surface, but how the insects survive the impact of raindrops is unclear. Daren Watson, Andrew Dickerson et al. used high-speed videography to ...

The geochemical cycle of uranium, the stability of ore deposits, and its general distribution among mobile and immobile phases strongly depends on phase and species oxidation states and corresponding ...

Catalytic activity of the colloids and chemotactic response to gradients of the chemicals in the solution leads to effective interaction between catalytic colloids. In this paper, we simulate mixtures ...

For decades scientists have been puzzled by the formation of rare hyper-enriched gold deposits in places like Ballarat in Australia, Serra Palada in Brazil, and Red Lake in Ontario. While such ...

The Susquehanna River river drops 1,191 feet during its journey from Cooperstown, New York, to the Chesapeake Bay. It has seen many changes in the landscape through which it flows over the past 325 ...
