Nuclear physics is now associated with the tragedies of Chernobyl and Fukushima and chemistry has been associated with pesticides, dangerous drugs and horrible toxins. But the view on biology changed in […]
Most people have heard of Bamboo. Some create furniture with it. Some build fences with it. There are places around the world where it is used to build homes. Many people eat it. But how much do you really know about the magical qualities of Bamboo? For instance, did you know that China has a […]
