In the study‚ scientists speculate that clay hydrogels provided a platform for chemicals to come together and form complex biomolecules. Experiments using water samples that resemble ancient seawater have shown that clay forms a hydrogel under certain conditions. Hydrogel is a network of polymer chains that has the ability to soak-up huge quantities of water. Basically‚ these gels are super-sponges. Over billions of years‚ the trapped chemicals

The Science of Transportation: Ancient World: The Wheel: • How do they work? Wheels work by rolling along a surface. The curved surface of the wheel reduces the friction between the two surfaces due to a decrease in surface area. With less friction it is much easier to move an object. This is because rolling friction is much weaker than sliding friction. • How did they come to be? The wheel was invented in prehistoric times; as the oldest example of a wheel yet found is from the region of
