NASA to visit Mercury and dig into a comet

NASA returns rocks from a comet.

Cometary particles returned by the Stardust Discovery Mission are primarily silicate materials of solar system origin. Some of the grains were formed at high temperatures close to the Sun, but then transported far out to the Kuiper belt region of the solar system before being incorporated in the comet.

To dig or not to dig.

Bobik : Dig Deeply into Scientific Problems To Find Knowledge

A lthough the carboxysome was for nearly 30 years the only microcompartment recognized within microbial cells, additional microcompartments, including some that are involved in metabolic processes such as degrading carbon sources, are known. Cluster analysis of homologues of microbial microcompartment-specific proteins suggests that such enclosures could be involved in as many as seven differen...

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
