Ak-chin farming makes desert agriculture possible, and now, those practices help communities today. Farming can thrive in the desert. The Tohono O’odham people have grown crops for thousands of years, and in this short documentary by Wenona & Sal Baldenegro, we see these traditional practices are in community planning today. […]

These scientists were the pioneers of quantum mechanics. The theory of quantum mechanics presented at the meeting said that a particle like an electron isn’t physically real until it’s observed, measured by an instrument that can detect it. Before it’s detected, instead of being a solid particle, an electron is […]

In the 1980s scientists discovered a crucial part of the Earth’s atmosphere was extremely thin. The extreme thinning of the Ozone layer threatened to bring on a global crisis from destroying plants and ecosystems to sky-high skin cancer rates. So, what happened?
