What part did it play in shaping, art, nationalism, culture, in Europe ?

[SOLVED] Should Europe Be Considered A Seperate Continent? It barely makes the subcontinent standard as it belongs to the Eurasian plate (where as Arabian and Indian subcontinent are on different plates!). The European subcontinent should be merged with Eurasia and treated like so by all...

I had a customer looking for some equipment that would be used in Europe to cool down a superconducting magnet that was to be installed there possibly in 2006. It must be an exceptionally massive magnet because he's looking for a very large cryogenic compressor and he says it will take 6 months...

Whatever happened to the exploding toads in Europe? Are they still going off? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4486247.stm

Some time ago I heard that ESA was testing a new unmanned RLV called Phoenix, which was an small scale model of Hopper. This model comes to substitute the Hermes, which was never built. It is...

I am doing a Masters degree in physics in India. I am interested in doing research work in nanotechnology. Can anyone please direct me which are the best universities in nanotechnology research in Europe and U.S. What are the entrance exams required. In how many years can we finish the...

Bravo Europe Union, Shame on you France, Damn the Chinese are smooth... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3637807.stm Good Job to the EU for standing ground on true human rights and democracy. Shame on France (and Germany to an extent) for looking to cash in on the Humanitarian crisis...

The US has a lot of oil but much of the oil used is shipped in from the middle east. Gasoline and diesel are cheap in the US. Europe doesn't really have much oil; most of the oil is piped from the middle east. Gasoline and diesel are insanely expensive. If Europe is so much closer to the...
