Philosophers began speculating about matter more than 2,000 years ago, but it was not until the early 1800s that John Dalton proposed the first atomic theory based on experimental evidence. Since then, scientists have made amazing strides in uncovering the mysteries of these tiny particles. Further research has revealed that the atom is not the smallest particle, but is, in fact, made up of smaller "building blocks," leading to the development of particle physics. In Atomic Structure, explore the history of atomic research, the discovery of subatomic and subatomic particles, and the ways...

Global warming has become one of the most talked-about topics in the scientific community. Many scientists believe that humans are to blame for climate change and have presented a great deal of scientific evidence that shows Earth's climate is warming at an alarming rate. Others claim that climatic changes are due to natural causes that have operated throughout Earth's history or that global warming is nothing but a hoax designed to scare people into changing their way of life. By examining the history and scientific facts behind climate change and the role humans may be playing in it, Global...

Animals and plants use ingenious ways to reproduce and ensure the survival of their species. One of these methods is asexual reproduction, a process by which some plants and animals create clones. Scientists have adapted this process and invented techniques to generate clones for a variety of purposes. In Reproduction and Cloning, learn how researchers have studied a variety of reproductive processes to develop technology to treat infertility and produce new plants and animals, sometimes through controversial means.
