In high school and introductory college chemistry you're going to do a lot of problems involving the ideal gas law. It runs something like this:
PV = nRT
So simple I don't even have to typeset it. Pressure times volume equals the number of moles (n) times a particular ideal gas constant (R) times…
Many fellow ScienceBloggers are doing a "Basic Concepts" series. Here are some of them:
Mean, Median, and Mode
Normal Distribution
Force
Gene
Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
Evolution
Clade
Instead of thinking up something new I've decided to repost a an older post where I cover the "basic"…
Fundamentally Maxwell's equations describe the origins of electric and magnetic fields. Given a set of conditions on the right hand side of the equations, you'll have fields described by the left hand side. Between the four equations the fields are uniquely specified, and there is nothing more to…
It's on now. Janet of Adventures in Ethics and Science has challenged us all to a nerd-off. It doesn't look like David Bowie is going to be there, but, hell, we can do better. Maybe James Watson? Anyways, here's the challenge:
Perhaps not every ScienceBlogger is hot, but almost all of them are…
