Biology Thought Of The Day: Memory

Scientists have known for a while that our memories are the process are synaptic transmissions in our brain and are stored in neurons, but they have been able to film the actual process for the first time inside of a mouse.Memories are made by messenger RNA (mRNA) that encode β-actin protein. These proteins are responsible […]

Biology Thought Of The Day: Chronostasis

We’ve all heard the phrase ugly enough to stop a clock, but what happens when that is actually the case? For starters I challenge you to find an analog clock, and preferably not be the creepy old guy at the elementary school. Found one good…When you first stare at the clock, you may notice that […]

Biology Thought of the Day: Photosynthesis

Plants are able to create energy from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis. Manmade solar panels were created to do the same thing, though it turns out they are much better at it than plants, as some solar panels are about ten times more efficient at generating electricity. However, the process isn’t perfect. One lab […]
