Soil microbiology research increasingly depends on big data. This means that experiments will no longer only mostly be carried out under controlled conditions in the laboratory but will instead move ...

Nearly 400 years ago Galileo performed the first recorded laboratory experiment, timing balls as they rolled down an inclined plane to test his theory of acceleration. Since that time, laboratory ...

When scientists opened the doors of a research facility and let carefully bred lab mice loose into a fenced field, they ...

Last year, in July, Reine Protacio’s experiments suddenly stopped working. Every scientist encounters baffling results from time to time; you chalk it up to error, repeat the experiment, and hope for ...

FORT MOORE, Ga. — Operational insights on the battlefront are crucial. The Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment executes field experiments in real time, featuring live fires, simulations and force-on ...

When laboratory mice step out of their plastic cages and into real soil, their behavior changes so dramatically that it forces a rethink of what stress, health and even “normal” really mean. The story ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

A student in an Advanced Placement biology class might dissect a fetal pig to study internal organs and the skeleton. But can a student get the same level of experience from a virtual dissection ...
