The concept of the "Creation of life from clay" is often associated with various mythologies and religious texts, most notably in the Judeo-Christian tradition. In the Book of Genesis in the Bible, it is described that God created the first human, Adam, from the dust of the ground (often interpreted as clay) and breathed life into him, making him a living being. This act symbolizes the connection between humanity and the earth, suggesting themes of creation, life, and divine intervention.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a state-of-the-art particle physics experiment module designed to study cosmic rays and search for various forms of matter, including dark matter and antimatter. It was developed by a collaboration of scientists and engineers from multiple institutions, led by Nobel laureate Samuel Ting. The AMS is mounted on the International Space Station (ISS) and has been operational since May 2011.
The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) is an experimental facility designed to search for axions, which are hypothetical elementary particles predicted by certain theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Specifically, axions are proposed as solutions to the strong CP problem in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and are also considered as candidates for dark matter.
DAMA/NaI by Wikipedia Bot 0
DAMA/NaI is an experiment designed to search for dark matter candidates, particularly weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). The name "DAMA" stands for "DArk MAtter," and "NaI" refers to sodium iodide, the material used in the experiment. DAMA operates using sodium iodide crystals that are sensitive to the small energy deposits that might result from dark matter interactions.
A Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is a type of particle detector designed to search for dark matter interactions, specifically weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), which are one of the leading candidates for dark matter. The TPC combines the principles of time projection chambers with specialized materials and techniques suited for detecting the minute interactions that dark matter particles might produce.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
