A person with measles recently visited Washington, D. C. , and traveled on an Amtrak train, sparking concerns about potential exposure. The D. C. Department of Health is now working to alert individuals who might have come into contact with the infected person. The individual was contagious during t
The head of Amtrak, Stephen Gardner, recently stepped down from his role. This sudden move has raised questions about the future of the national passenger railroad. The decision came after discussions with the current administration, which has been pushing for changes in federal services. Gardner's
It is no secret that computing is evolving at a rapid pace. One of the latest innovations is a tiny device called a memtransistor. This device is made from a special kind of material called van der Waals heterostructures, which are basically layers of different materials stacked on top of each other
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a challenging type of breast cancer. It's tough to treat because it doesn't respond well to targeted therapies. This is partly due to changes in certain signaling pathways, like the PI3K and mTOR pathways. Researchers have found that a protein called
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are like the conductors of the cell's orchestra, directing various functions by tweaking gene expression based on signals from outside the cell. Most studies focus on how GPCRs control gene expression, but there's a lot happening after the genes are made. This is
Some big news dropped recently. Legendary Entertainment and Hasbro Entertainment have teamed up to create a live-action movie universe based on the popular card game, Magic: The Gathering. First things first, this isn't just one movie. The plan is to start with a feature film and then branch out in
So, imagine tiny tunnels and caves. What's the first thing that comes to mind? Maybe a mining rig. Imagine these tunnels and caves are so small that they can only form reactions in a specific way. World top chemists call this as shape-selective catalysis. The chemical reactions that happen here a
Let's dive into the world of reaction videos, where young people share their thoughts on TV media. People often ignore the power of these reactions to show how viewers digest content on sexual topics. This form of engagement might reveal a hidden side of how viewers consume these shows. It also giv
Ever wondered how lasers could improve our dental implants? Well, scientists have been exploring this very idea. They used a special kind of laser, called a femtosecond laser, to change the surface of titanium implants. This laser can create tiny bumps and grooves on the implant's surface. These cha
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has recently introduced a peculiar new measure to tackle farebeating. At the 59th Street/Lexington station, they've installed spiked metal railings on turnstiles. The design is straight out of a sci-fi movie, but the real-life effectiveness is question
