The Amazing Creation of the Fire Ants

The defense specialist fire ants are also highly skilled and hard working. They may build hills 30 cm high and 60 cm wide, or they can dig labyrinthine tunnels that can go 1.5 m deep underground. In certain areas, fire ants have built small hills numbering up to 350. The capacity of such small beings to set up such huge nests, of course, depends on their industriousness.

The Symmetry in Wings

Actually, these colors are formed by the amassing of tiny scales clustered one on top of another.

The Domino Sequence of Processes within the Nerve Cells

The way the nerve signal is transmitted along the axon can be compared to the chain reaction that takes place when dominoes are lined up next to one another. When you push over the first domino, all the others —if set out at specific distances— will fall over in turn. When the first one falls over, a chain reaction ensues: consecutive tiles topple over until none remain standing.

Reforming African Education

While the impoverished continent of Africa suffers at all levels of society, the often-appalling circumstances in which African children find themselves are well documented. Estimates quoted by the BBC on August 5 reveal that two out of five children in Africa below the age of 15 work and are not in school, enrollment rates have fallen and that it is believed that the 40 million children
