Why do some organisms survive while others disappear? How do entirely new species arise from a common ancestor? And what is the force that drives evolution? For centuries, scientists believed

Why are kangaroos found only in Australia? Why do fossils of the same extinct organisms appear on continents separated by vast oceans? And how did Earth’s geography influence the evolution
Last two weeks, we explored the cell. But, where did the very first cell come from? How did lifeless chemicals eventually give rise to every bacterium, plant, animal, and human
What is radioactivity? Also known as radioactive decay, it is a physical process wherein an unstable nucleus of an atom releases energy and particles in order to achieve a stable
In the last two weeks, we explored basics of spectroscopy and advanced spectroscopic techniques. This week, let’s look at a combination technique which involved chromatography (separation) and spectroscopy (detection). Both
In a previous post last week, I introduced the basics of spectroscopy and covered different spectroscopic techniques. This week, let’s dive deeper and understand advanced spectroscopic techniques. ORD Optical rotatory
