In 2021, a company called Stichting Noordzee released a report regarding waste found in the Netherlands. Every 100 meters of a riverbank consists of virtually 500 pieces of waste. To combat this threatening issue, a team of engineers from Amsterdam have invented the Great Bubble Barrier. Co-founders Anne Marieke Eveleens and Philip Ehrhorn were disheartened by the normalization of waste in their waters. According to Ehrhorn, “I spend a lot of time in and around the water. And inevitably, at some point, you'll see plastic. And once you start seeing it, you'll see it everywhere.”...click here to read more

Infinity seems like an easy concept to grasp; it’s just things with no end, right? Well, when you venture deep into the idea, several paradoxes arise, such as the simple question of: are there more counting numbers, or even numbers? The answer is neither. Both sets of numbers are boundless, which means that they can be paired one-to-one. ...click here to read more

As the Earth goes through its changes, New York as well is taking the initiative. Every year since 2009, the annual New York Climate Week hosted by the Climate Group assisted by the United Nations General Assembly occurs to ensure our globe is being taken care of by discussing climate change, striking an acceleration of good deeds in these issues...click here to read more

Water scarcity is a pressing issue directly linked to population growth and climate change. As these factors intensify and worsen over time, the competition for clean water escalates, creating urgent global challenges that affect millions of lives. Under these circumstances, LifeStraw stands out as a beacon of hope. Founded by Torben Vestergaard Frandsen, LifeStraw evolved from his revolutionary idea, which was designed for the decontamination of Guinea worm larvae at the Carter Center, ultimately contributing significantly to the prevention of Guinea worm disease. Vestergaard’s simple creation of a plastic pipe filter to combat the disease led to a partnership with the Carter Center, and he sought out business-minded entrepreneurs to collaborate and expand his invention further...click here to read more

Do you believe in the existence of dinosaurs? As the world evolves and humans gain new knowledge, scientists now can prove the existence of many species that have gone extinct before the first man walked the earth. Scientists or paleontologists, an individual who studies past geologic periods, can prove the existence of dinosaurs through fossils. Fossils are the remnants of an organism throughout the years that have been preserved in the earth’s crust. The first-ever discovery of a dinosaur fossil was founded by Mary Anning, who is the first and youngest woman paleontologist...click here to read more

Neuroethology is the study of animal behavior and how it is affected by the nervous system. It combines concepts from neurobiology, the study of the nervous system, and ethology, the study of human and animal behavior, to explain why an animal acts the way it does in its natural environment. Let's take a look at toads and Jörg-Peter Ewert’s experiment to better understand this concept...click here to read more

Have you ever wondered how we got to understand our universe? Well, it's all thanks to telescopes. Originally used for observing distant objects on Earth like surveying the land, military, etc. In the 17th century, an astronomer named Galileo Galilei, refined the instrument to the point that it could be magnified thirty times. By increasing the magnification, it allowed the telescope to observe celestial objects such as the moon, Jupiter, and more. Centuries later, telescope technology rapidly became better to the point we have them orbiting around Earth, such as the Hubble Space Telescope...click here to read more

After years of science fiction media, the public revered wands and spells as products of the far future. Chu Junhao, a physicist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, assisted in making a specific product come true. In regards to the new, light-manipulating invisibility cloak, he states, “Whether in real life or in the world of nature and animals there is a lot of 'invisibility', and this is not magic, it is a scientific means”...click here to read more

The primary concern with fossil fuels is their impact on global warming. When coal, oil, and natural gas are burned, they produce energy while releasing large amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere—increasing average temperatures. Additionally, since fossil fuels are finite resources, their continued extraction will eventually lead to depletion. These issues create a growing need for cleaner alternatives to combat this issue – biogas being one of them...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

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
