Ion propulsion might sound like science fiction, but engineers at NASA are using it to drive NASA’s "Dawn" spacecraft through the solar system. Learn how ion propulsion works and why it is the reason "Dawn" will be the first spacecraft ever to orbit two solar system bodies beyond Earth. Part of the “Crazy Engineering” series.

Figure 2.15 (OpenStax, Biology 2e) caption: When we mix table salt (NaCl) in water, it forms spheres of hydration around the ions.
Solutions are classified as acidic or basic based on their hydrogen ion concentration relative to pure water. An acidic solution has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions, and a basic solution has a lower concentration of hydrogen ions. Other topics covered include chemical reaction basics, properties of acids and based, acid-base reactions, and other mixtures. Part of the "Chemistry" series.
Figure 2.27 (OpenStax, Biology 2e) caption: These functional groups are in many different biological molecules. R, also known as R-group, is an abbreviation for any group in which a carbon or hydrogen atom is attached to the rest of the molecule.
Part of the "Chemistry in Action" series. Describes and illustrates the process of chemical bonding through live action footage and animations. Provides an overview of the role atomic structure plays in the process of bonding. Provides examples of how chemical bonding, including ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds, affects the characteristics of matter. Introduces the following terminology: element, atomic structure, energy level, valence electrons, ionic bonds, crystal lattice, covalent bond, and metallic bond.
Mendelvium is a radioactive metal of the actinide series. It does not occur naturally and was first made in 1955 by bombarding einsteinium with helium ions.

Part of the "Visualizing Cell Processes" series. Includes the following modules on photosynthesis: "Chloroplast Structure," "Light Trapping by Chlorophyll," "Light–Dependent Reactions of Photosynthesis," and "The Light–Independent Reactions of Photosynthesis." Includes the following modules on cellular respiration: "Glycolysis and Fermentation," "Mitochondrion Structure," "Aerobic Respiration," "Krebs Cycle," "Electron Transport Chain," and "ATP synthesis."
Technetium is a chemical element with the symbol Tc and atomic number 43. It is the lightest element whose isotopes are all radioactive, none of which is stable other than the fully ionized state of ⁹⁷Tc.
Our middle-aged sun has fascinated people throughout history, but only since the rocket age have scientists been able to document its life and the forces that sustain it. Explores sunspots, solar cycles, the birth of a solar storm, and the use of specialized spacecraft outside earth's ionosphere.
