The universe is full of mysteries, and one of them is the missing matter that has puzzled scientists for years. This matter isn't the mysterious dark matter that doesn't interact with light. Instead, it's ordinary matter made up of atoms that form stars, planets, and even our bodies. For a long time
Chile is home to a remarkable piece of technology. The Vera Rubin Observatory is a telescope with a camera as big as a small car. This camera is the largest of its kind on Earth. It is designed to take incredibly detailed pictures of the night sky. The camera's sensors are grouped into 21 rafts,
In the world of science and policy, there is a growing need to bridge the gap between researchers and policymakers. This has given rise to a new role: the knowledge broker. These brokers act as intermediaries, helping to translate complex research findings into actionable policies. Understanding how
Strontium isotopes, specifically the ratio of strontium-87 to strontium-86, have become a go-to method for figuring out where things come from. This technique is used in various fields. To make it work, scientists need to understand how this ratio changes across different landscapes. They often crea
In Richland County, a unique opportunity is opening doors for students. They are getting a firsthand look at the work of coroners. They are learning about forensic science and death investigation. This is all thanks to the Richland County Coroner Cadet Program. This program is not your typical c
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that makes people more likely to get infections. This is due to a mix of factors related to the patient's health, the disease itself, and the treatments used. With new treatments coming out, it's crucial to figure out how these treatments affect
In eight Latin American countries, a significant gap exists between recommended diets and actual eating habits.

This has led to some awkward moments. On Father’s Day, Bieber shared a text. He was upset with a former friend for c
The transmission electron microscope (TEM) is a powerful tool. It lets scientists see tiny details in materials. But sometimes, it's hard to spot certain types of damage. This is where a clever trick comes in. It's called low-frequency band-pass Fourier filtering. It helps to highlight damage that's
Viologen compounds are gaining attention for their potential in molecular memory devices. These devices could be game-changers in the world of neuromorphic technology. Viologen's unique ability to switch between two stable states makes it perfect for creating non-volatile memory. This means the memo
