Mars One is a not-for-profit organization that will take humanity to Mars in 2023, to establish the foundation of a permanent settlement from which we will prosper, learn, and grow. Before the first crew lands, Mars One will have established a habitable, sustainable settlement designed to receive astronauts every two years. To accomplish this, Mars One has developed a precise, realistic plan based entirely upon existing technologies. It is both economically and logistically feasible, in motion t...

Graphene is an allotropic form of carbon discovered in 2004, by a team of scientists from Russia and UK at Manchester University while making a successful attempt to extract a single layer of atomic sheet from a larger chunk of graphite. It is the thinnest element on the planet with strength of about 200 times that of steel.

The balance and the graduated cylinder are two apparatus that are of importance in chemistry. The table balance is an instrument that measures the mass of an object while the graduated cylinder is an instrument that measures the volume of liquid. In this experiment students will know the relationship between mass, volume and density.
Science is everywhere. You experience it in your everyday life. It keeps life going on and on. You may think of it only as a school subject that everybody is required to take; however, it is far more than that. Studying science is an important part of your life, and so as for others.
All of us, at one point or another, have seen a megaphone. There are two main types of megaphones. The first type is the simple cone-shaped megaphone seen at many sporting events. It is also often seen in old movies where we see a film director yelling, "Quiet on Set!" or "Action!". The second type is the electronic megaphone. The electronic megaphone is also commonly seen in movies, usually in a police officer's hand as they try to talk to a hostage taker or a person threatening to jump off of ...
Everything around you can be measured example- the food you eat, say you want to cook 1 kg of rice. Kg is a unit of measurement. The distance between two planets too can be measured, even the width of a bacteria can be measured. See how important measurement is. This experiment is about how to measure objects accurately using a ruler as well as how to measure the temperature of an object accurately.
Everyone is talking about the possibility of the Zombie Apocalypse starting now. It sounds like things are getting out of hand right now. Many people think that zombies are starting to come out, but other things are going on right now. Keep reading and let us know if you think zombies are coming.
In earlier studies, some physical attributes of humans were considered Mendelian in nature, but further study suggested they are in fact not. These traits may involve more complex genetic models that usually include more than one gene. Examples are the color of the eyes and hair, and tongue rolling. Gene dominance plays a part in these traits, but information from other genes are also involved.
Plant morphology, also called phytomorphology, is the study of physical characteristics of plants. Plant morphology utilizes a wide number of various terms in describing organs and parts of plants which can be seen by the eye using a magnifying lens. Plant morphology terms are used in the identification and classification of plants. Morphology is comparative in nature as morphologists (or those who study morphology) study structures in different plants of the same species, drawing comparisons an...
What exactly is PCR and how does it work? PCR, also known as Polymerase Chain Reaction, is a method that many scientists use to replicate DNA. This is done in three steps. These steps are denaturing which is where the DNA double strand is heated and melted. The next step is annealing which is where primers and DNA polymerase attaches to the single strand DNA. The last step is elongation which is when the temperature is increased to optimal conditions for the DNA polymerase to begin synthesizing ...

Whether we observe the universe from a microscope or telescope, every scale of our existence fractals in self-similarity. Atomic structures of all shapes and sizes contain the same invisible, empty, energetic space. In fact, atoms are said to be 99% hollow and only ~1% physical. So, what does this really say about us (humans)?

Daydreaming occurs when your mind is somewhere else, you may be in that special place between being awake and being asleep. You may be lying in your bed, relaxing in a chair, or just feeling bored at work. Daydreams occur from right brain stimulation. The right side of your brain is the part where your creativity comes from.
The Kamikaze attacks commenced as a desperate measure during World War II. However these attacks can take place in a modern war as well. The US navy has thus installed latest ship defense systems against such Kamikaze and low flying attacks. These will be tested in a war with Iran
We are familiar with watermelons with red flesh. But watermelons are more than that. There are varieties with amazing colors, taste, aroma, skin design, and size. Though it originated from Africa, it has since been cultivated extensively in many parts of the world including China, India and the USA. The watermelon rinds are normally eaten raw or used as ingredients for salads; but for some other cultures, they are stir-fried, stewed, pickled, or prepared into juice or wine.

Your primary job as an Ambassador is to kick off thoughtful discussion threads around products, services. Your discussions can be on any topic in Knoji's category system. Here are some examples of the types of discussions you'll be starting:
Requests for recommendations for any type of product or service, examples:
People on Knoji ask questions seeking recommendations for products and services. We encourage our community members to answer questions whenever you can make a useful recommendation towards any request.
When pointing to specific products, please link to specific product pages on Amazon.com or Walmart.com
UPDATE: Ambassadors earn bonuses for answering questions, however - only answers which include products links (as described above) will earn bonuses.
You should include screenshots of the products you recommend (Ambassadors: you earn increased rewards when doing this)
Try to recommend products that you've had personal experience with. If not, it is acceptable to recommend products or options based on thorough research you do online.

To qualify as a working coupon, the link or code must provide a discount above and beyond what's freely available by default on the vendor's site.
To check this, first click the link and check that the coupon can be applied and does provide the discount described. Then, in a different browser, open the vendor's site (without using the Knoji link) and check whether that same discount is available to any user by default. If it's not, and the coupon works, then you've found a qualified coupon and can verify it and get your earnings. If not, you can verify that it does not work (explain why this is) and you'll earn a smaller credit.
Don't waste your time verifying invalid coupons! Before you receive payment, all your verifications will be reviewed, and if they are invalid, you earnings will be deleted. Verify only valid coupons in order to receive payment for this project.
