I have a son who’s just finished his first year as a physics undergrad. As you can imagine, I occasionally pass along a link or two to him pointing to stuff on the web I think he might find particularly interesting or useful. Thinking on that fact, I surmised that perhaps other science students might…

Via Flickr: Photo Credit      Anyone who has had the pleasure of living near or visiting a coastal region has most likely encountered a Seagull (i.e., a bird within the Laridae family) at some point. It’s important to note that there really isn’t such a thing as Seagulls. Because the creatures spend the majority of their time on land, bird purists refer to them simply as gulls. Seagulls are

In terms of weight and size, batteries have become one of the limiting factors in the continuous process of developing smaller and higher performance electronic devices. To meet the demand for batteries having higher energy density and improved cycle characteristics, researchers have been making tremendous efforts to develop new electrode materials or design new structures of electrode materials. Researchers have now investigated the atomistic nature of the lithiation mechanism in individual […]

If you spend any time on science blogs, chances are you've come across the work of xkcd. The xkcd empire includes exceptionally sharp critiques of math, science, and nerd culture.There are cartoons (and don't forgot to hover over them for extra content).Including what may be the best cartoon of all time:A 'What If' page where hypothetical physics questions are answered (did you know how many giraffes high a person can throw a ball?).And a twitter feed that offers a host of interesting numbers […]
