Can a wellness movement and business be an American religion? By tracing three threads of historic American religions - New Thought, Christian Science, and Scientology - we can see how we've arrived at the place of even entertaining the question of GOOP as an American religion.
Climate and terrestrial vegetation have had mutual feedbacks for nearly five hundred million years, yet both are now departing from recent historical norms, with uncertain implications for forest ecosystems. This dissertation outlines the current and potential future climate responses of lichen and bryophyte communities in the United States as part...

Steam distillation has been the common method of extraction of essential oils from plants for more than a century. The use of microwave energy has been suggested as an alternative distillation method that would: reduce water usage, dependence on non-renewable energy sources, and the carbon footprint. A byproduct of this...
A thermal beam of lithium atoms excited to high Rydberg states
by pulsed electron impact has been studied by time-of-flight analysis.
Near the end of a 35-cm field-free flight path, the excited atoms pass
through a pair of electric field plates before entering an excited-atom
detector. Electric field ionization was...
