The fundamental discoveries by Niels Bohr and others regarding the nature of atoms led to the invention of spectroscopic and laser technologies that improve our lives in a number of ways. […]
Light-matter interactions as exemplified by the phenomenon of absorption and fluorescence are studied by scientists. The study is called spectroscopy and is essential to all sorts of modern sciences and technologies. […]
The strangeness of the atom mirrors the strangeness of the world at this subatomic level and Niels Bohr could successfully explain it. It was for all of this work on the atom that Niels Bohr won the 1922 Nobel Prize in physics, just one more to his many accolades. […]
The observations from various scientific experiments all provided better indications to the structure of atoms. […]
The high incidence of the sexually transmitted disease HPV in the United States is alarming. And, persistent infection is a prerequisite for progression to cervical cancer. […]
The prevalence of the spectrum of STD disorders in the US can be viewed as a pyramid with HIV infection at the top, and genital herpes, the most prevalent, at the bottom. […]
Henrietta Lacks died in October of 1951 from cervical cancer. Just before she died, a sample of her tumor cells. And this was an unlikely gift to all of us from her as the world’s first immortal cells, meaning cells that never die, were found. […]
For years, people have explored the implications of special relativity. And then there is the much more complex subject of general relativity, which deals with accelerating reference frames. […]
Much has been written about Albert Einstein. On the personal front, he is said to be a failed husband and a disappointed father. It’s really hard to know who this man really was. […]
The observations from various scientific phenomena all indicate that the atomic theory is a valid scientific theory. […]
