Teenagers think the online world may be a place to explore but they often land into trouble. Sharing sexual content is part of the teen conversations online. The content start off as consensual between teens. However, things can go wrong. It turns the situation from being consensual sexti
For many, citizenship is a doorway to a new life. It's a chance to get some rights and protections back. The last few decades have seen a lot more immigrants in the US. They are trying to become citizens. This is to get back some of those rights and protections. Many think that becoming a
Ever wondered how a tiny creature like the Noah's Ark shell (Arca noae) builds such intricate structures? Scientists dove deep into this question, using powerful tools like X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopes, and atomic force microscopes to understand the shell's makeup. They found tha
You might have heard of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH), but scientists have been having a tough time explaining it. The problem? They mix up things that are random and things that are predictable. This can get confusing, right? So, why not focus on what we can predict? This new way o
Ever wondered what a well-known figure thinks about cannabis? Meet Joe Rogan, the host of The Joe Rogan Experience. He's not just a podcast star, but also a strong supporter of cannabis legalization. Rogan uses his massive platform to talk openly about the benefits of marijuana. He believes people s
Influenza, also known as the flu, is a big deal in Europe. It causes about 30% of all sickness and death in the European Union. But how bad is it in each country? That's what researchers wanted to find out in Spain. They looked at data from hospitals over five seasons, from 2015 to 2020. What did t
Ever wondered why metal-polymer pairs in brakes get worn out by hydrogen? Scientists are now figuring out a way to fix this by looking at how these materials react with water and hydrogen. They've found that keeping the metal's electrode potential below water's in a neutral medium helps. Also, the r
Ever wondered how doctors spot bone issues in people with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH)? This rare metabolic disorder messes with bone mineralization and causes painful enthesopathies, which are tough to track. Enter 18F-Sodium Fluoride PET/CT. This imaging technique is like a superhero tool for d
Did you know that certain proteins can help turn carbon dioxide into sugar? Scientists have found a way to stabilize and enhance the work of these proteins, called enzymes. They created a platform using a special type of protein structure called amyloid fibrils. This platform can hold several enzyme
The Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) is a big topic in the world of physics. One common way to think about ETH suggests it might not always mean that an observable in an isolated quantum system made up of many bodies will thermalize. To get thermalization, you might need to assume a specif
