Imagine diving into a video game where your choices reveal hidden social meanings. Scientists found a fresh approach to studying these meanings by swapping out classic scales with strategic gameplay. They designed a textual role-playing game using the Ren'Py engine, enhancing the old "matched-guise
Imagine you have some esters, and you want to turn them into alkanes. It might sound like a tough job, but scientists have found a clever way to do this using a helper called cobalt. This isn't just any helper; it's a well-defined cobalt catalyst that can work wonders with just a tiny bit of base an
You know how dentists use special X-rays to see inside your mouth? It's called cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). When teeth are stuck or impacted, it can be tricky to see them clearly. Scientists recently tested four different smart computer tools, called deep learning methods, to see which one
Nature often uses flexible structures to interact with specific molecules. Scientists have taken a cue from this strategy and developed a flexible ligand called octadecyl acyclopa (ODA). Unlike rigid structures, ODA can dynamically change its shape. This makes it an effective tool for separating lig
Pregnancy can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and anxiety is a common passenger on this ride. Especially for first-time moms, worry can lead to negative outcomes for both the mom and baby. But what if there was a way to tame this anxiety? A study explored how mindfulness-based counseling could help.
In our race against time to cut greenhouse gas emissions, we're facing a crucial question: what exactly drives these emissions at an individual and community level? Despite knowing that we humans are the main culprits, we still have big gaps in our knowledge. To tackle this, a team created an urban
Chemists have recently flipped the traditional way alkyne reactions are conducted. Alkynes are special types of molecules with interesting properties. Instead of using the usual methods, scientists have found a new way to create 1, 4-dihydropyrrolo compounds. This changes how we understand and work
Spherical tanks are popular in industries due to their large storage capacity. But managing their liquid levels can be tricky. Traditional PI and PID controllers just don't cut it because these processes are nonlinear. Enter Fractional-Order controllers (FOPI and FOPID), designed using the Approxima
Ever wondered what happens to the skin of yellowfin tuna after it's caught? Turns out, this seemingly useless waste could be a goldmine for gelatin production. Gelatin is a widely used ingredient in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, and fishes like tuna are packed with collagen, the main protein
On December 29, 2024, the world said goodbye to Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, who passed away at the remarkable age of 100. His family, including his son Chip, remembered him as a hero who believed in peace, human rights, and unselfish love. Chip shared that his father broug
