Imagine living near a nuclear power plant. You never know when an accident might happen. When it does, you need to know how to stay safe. Radiation is a big concern. It can harm you right away and over time. The amount of radiation you get depends on a few things. Weather and where you are can make
There's a new player in the fight against some of the most aggressive forms of uterine cancer. Uterine serous carcinoma and carcinosarcoma are known for being tough to treat and having poor survival rates. These cancers are types of endometrial cancer, which starts in the lining of the uterus. Docto
Luigi Mangione, a name that has recently grabbed headlines, is a 26-year-old engineer who found himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Born and raised in Maryland, Mangione's journey took him from the prestigious halls of the Gilman School to the Ivy League corridors of the University o
When a cow gives birth, things can go wrong. One serious problem is uterine prolapse, where the uterus comes out of the cow's body. This can cause major issues like tissue damage, infections, and even death if not treated. Traditionally, teaching veterinary students to fix this problem has relied on
Imagine seeing a plane flip over on the runway and burst into flames. It's a miracle anyone survived, right? Well, believe it or not, 80 people walked away from a recent plane crash in Toronto with only minor injuries. This isn't just luck. Modern planes are designed to be super safe. For s
Tesla's Autopilot system, launched in 2015, promised a semi-autonomous driving experience using existing vehicle hardware. However, on March 23, 2018, a tragic incident occurred when a Tesla vehicle, under Autopilot control, crashed into a divider at high speed, resulting in the driver's death. This
Imagine tiny flaws in a material that mess up how well it works. This is a big deal in the world of 2D materials, like WSe2. These flaws, called chalcogenide vacancies, can really mess with how long charge carriers last and how well devices work. Scientists have been trying to fix these flaws. They
Dogs with chronic gut problems, known as chronic enteropathies (CE), face a tough battle. These issues cause ongoing or recurring stomach troubles without any clear cause like parasites or infections. A recent study took a close look at a special diet to help these dogs. The study focused on dogs t
The idea of blood pressure changes affecting a baby's health before and after birth is a topic that has been discussed. The main question is whether the ups and downs of blood pressure during pregnancy can impact the baby's health. This is a tricky topic because blood pressure can change a lot dur
Imagine trying to build something with a material that keeps shrinking. That's a big problem in tissue engineering. Scientists have been using collagen-based hydrogels, which are great for growing cells, but they have a nasty habit of shrinking when cells interact with them. This makes it hard to cr
