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."

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."
