For many years, spatial audio has been used to create more realistic and immersive experiences, in video games, virtual reality, and cinema experiences! You’ve probably heard of 3D or 4D audio, but what about 8D audio? Is the audio truly eight-dimensional? As fun as it may sound, 8D audio does not have eight dimensions. Instead, 8D audio plays tricks on your brain—making you assume you are listening to the music live. Though, how does this work?...click here to read more

   Back in 1949, the foundation of hydrogels induced the significance of a healing process. There were times when it would take a prolonged period to recover under certain conditions. However, now researchers have uncovered a rehabilitation medicine that can enhance muscle and nerve growth in the body. Whereas, this hydrogel injection could build up, meaning it restores the tissues when injured, and gives its desired robustness. When looking into this, it has summed up the needed care for an injury...click here to read more

Firefighters, notable figures who ensure the safety of communities, go through risky endeavors. According to the U.S. Fire Administration and National Fire Protection Association, there have been 60 and 100 firefighter line-of-duty deaths each year. Consequently, they cannot avoid hazardous situations where their lives are on the line—putting out the fire and rescuing people. However, firefighting personnel encounter situations where they cannot access the fire site. This is due to extremely high temperatures, or the presence of explosive materials. Under such circumstances, how is it possible to minimize the risk of death among firefighters as they try their best to save others?...click here to read more

Butterflies, beetles, peacocks, and plasmonic paints: one of these are notably different from the rest, but they all share similar properties in their coloration. Rich and rare colors can be found throughout nature, most significantly in butterfly wings, beetle elytra, and peacock feathers. Where do they get these colors, and why aren’t they more common in animals? Well, unlike other organisms, their colors don’t come from pigments but instead from their structure! Nano (super tiny) structures within these organisms manipulate how light reflects or is absorbed, producing the range of colors we see on them...click here to read more

Humans use their imagination to visualize potential outcomes or situations daily. For instance, we imagine how our presentation will go, how the next day will begin, how a home-cooked meal will taste, and much more. However, rats, the pests roaming in society, were recently discovered using their imagination to move digital objects! But how did they identify this ability?...click here to read more

Dinosaurs are an extinct species that have been studied for many years through their fossils. The first recorded study occurred around the 1600s but wasn’t officially published until 1677. Since dinosaurs were extinct before the existence of human beings, there’s a lot unknown. Studies and theories are still being conducted. An example of the studies is fossilized dinosaur feathers. It has shown that dinosaur feathers have a very similar protein composition to those of modern birds...click here to read more

Pavements are the paths that bind our homes, businesses, states, and ultimately, families and communities together. Despite this, many people don’t know the history and processes that contributed to the convenience of our everyday lives. As bicycles became more prominent in the United States during the 1800s, bicyclists came together to kickstart the Good Roads Movement, highlighting the importance of quality roads for religious groups, farmers, and students. The support behind this movement led the federal government to begin looking into funding the transformation of traditional streets and organizations to form for the same cause...click here to read more

From 1900 B.C. up until the present, the 21st century, the jobs associated with finding the missing length of a right triangle have had abundant amounts of impact on our world. Pythagoras’ Theorem is introduced in Algebra 1. It is also known as the Pythagorean Theorem when being taught in school. A bunch of major roles use this theorem for their everyday workspace. For example agriculture, aviation, construction, and so on. These jobs using Pythagoras’ Theorem have benefited our society. Without this discovery, our universe wouldn’t have evolved as it is today and stay as an ennui...click here to read more
