Dinosaur Tracksite
Dinosaur Tracksite:
Close your eyes and imagine what life on Earth was like 67 million years ago. What would it be like to walk with dinosaurs? Even though dinos are long gone, they have left little clues for us to discover. This summer, I was able to walk with dinosaurs in Wyoming! This site allows visitors to dig for fossils and get up close to examine the tracks of a dinosaur that once roamed the shores of an ancient ocean.

Kirigami steers solar panels
Kirigami steers solar panels: "News: Kirigami steers solar panels
When you’re installing solar panels, it’s important to point them at the Sun. But the Sun isn’t always in the same place – it moves across the sky over the course of a day. If you can aim the panels towards the Sun as it moves, they can produce up to 40 per cent more power than if they are stationary. But it’s hard to aim a big, flat solar panel: especially when it’s attached to your roof."

An astronaut’s tall tale
An astronaut’s tall tale:
Ever wonder what it would be like to live in space? Did you think that it could make you taller??
"News: An astronaut’s tall tale
On 2 March this year, two long-term International Space Station residents returned to Earth. Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko both spent 342 days in space. Their year-long mission included space walks and Earth photography. But the most important experiment was on themselves. How does a person react to a year in space?

Aussie volcano chain
Aussie volcano chain: "News: Aussie volcano chain
The longest chain of continental volcanoes in the world was recently discovered in Australia. It stretches from near Mackay in Queensland down to Cosgrove in Victoria.
Don’t be alarmed. These volcanoes aren’t going to erupt anytime soon. It has been millions of years since any of the volcanoes in the chain have erupted. We’ve known about each individual volcano for a long time, but didn’t realise they were related."

Hitting a fractal beat
Hitting a fractal beat: "Article: Hitting a fractal beat
Ever notice that tree branches look a bit like tiny trees, and the veins on a leaf look like tiny branches? Fractals are geometric recurring patterns that appear similar no matter if you look up close or from far away. Fractals may seem complex, however they are very common. They occur all the time in nature and can be found just about anywhere – even in a piece of broccoli.
Recently, fractal patterns have been discovered in an unexpected place – music. A team of researchers noticed some groovy patterns in the drumming style of Jeff Porcaro, famous drummer of American rock band Toto.

Robot assassin protects the reef
Robot assassin protects the reef: "News: Robot assassin protects the reef
The crown-of-thorns is a venomous starfish that lives in the Great Barrier Reef. Growing up to massive lengths of 80 centimetres and having a body entirely covered in toxic spikes, the starfish is almost indestructible and is a vicious predator. They eat coral, the building blocks of the Great Barrier Reef. It’s said that one adult starfish can eat up to ten square metres of coral every year.
