The formula is thick but not overly heavy on the face and leaves my skin hydrated. After two months of use, I noticed a real difference in my skin. If you were to look in my medicine cabinet…

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Here are some scientific findings worthy of a toast: Researchers from Brown University and the University of Toulouse in France have explained why bubbles in champagne fizz up in a straight line while bubbles in other carbonated drinks, like beer or soda, don’t. The findings, described in a new study published in Physical Review Fluids , are based on a series of numerical and physical experiments, including, of course, pouring out glasses of champagne, beer, sparkling water and sparkling wine. The results not only explain what gives champagne its line of bubbles but may hold important…

To celebrate National Poetry Month, this poem-loving bibliophile decided to read poetry and only poetry for an entire April week. I planned on seven 24-hour days without prose. No essays online. No novels streaming into my ears while I walk my dog or cook or put away dishes. No short stories before bed. As someone who tries to keep one fiction, nonfiction, and poetry book in rotation, I wondered what focusing on a single genre will feel like, what ripples it might make…
Link had quite the challenge, and thankfully, everything turned out okay. The biggest case of Grey’s Anatomy Season 19 Episode 17 was Owen forcing Link’s hand to perform a massive and inadvisable surgery on hot airman Sam while Link battled his shaky confidence and everyone else’s little faith in him. The hour also touched on and attempted to resolve the disparity the interns faced financially, deepened the wedge between Blue and Jules, and provided a compelling turn for Lucas with Nick’s guidance. For the most part, for an hour that teased what should’ve amounted to this impossible, unthinkable ortho case,…

Credit: Bruno Campos Janegitz/UFSCar An article published in the journal ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering brings good news for coffee buffs: the plastic in used coffee pods can be recycled to make filament for 3D printers, minimizing its environmental impact. The solution was successfully tested by research groups in Brazil at the Federal University of São Carlos (USFCar) and the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), and in the United Kingdom at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). “We produced new conductive and non-conductive filaments from waste polylactic acid…

Last week (April 12), Loudwire reported on pop/hip-hop artist Lizzo defending one of today’s most heavily divisive rock bands: Nickelback. Welp, her praise has not gone unnoticed by the Canadian ensemble, as they recently thanked her for her supportive efforts.Back in 2019, Lizzo argued that Nickelback “get a lot of shit” while she was playing a game of “Jam or Not a Jam” with CBC Music.Specifically, she started listening to “How You Remind Me” – from 2001’s Silver Side Up – and asked: “Why do people not like Nickelback?” She added: “I think that this is a jam.

If confirmed, it would be the third early Viking ship burial found in the area, on the coast of the island of Karmøy in southwestern Norway, a region that may be the origin of Viking culture.[]”This is a very strategic point, where…
The Sava Steps by Lee Lindauer What’s it About?

The Tonga underwater volcanic eruption rivaled the strength of the largest U.S. nuclear bomb and produced a “mega-tsunami” nearly the height of a 30-story skyscraper, a recent study finds (opens in new tab).On Jan. 15, 2022, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai submarine volcano — a large, cone-shaped mountain located near the islands of the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific — erupted with a violent explosion.

It was a night full of WTF moments. The case on Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 3 Episode 20 seemed too insignificant to call the unit in on, and some of the twists were confusing. But the biggest double-take occurred at the end of the hour. Stabler’s imagining things, isn’t he? They wouldn’t suggest Kathy’s been alive all this time. Right? Kathy was on the top of Stabler’s mind all episode long. A suspect asked why he didn’t wear a wedding ring, and his mother forgot she was dead and set a place for her. So it’s no wonder…
Graphical abstract. Credit: Nano Letters (2023). DOI: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.3c00042 Scientists have developed new technology which has made it possible to isolate and study how a single protein—10,000 times thinner than a human hair—behaves and changes over time. The Nottingham Trent University team says the work—the first of its kind—enables them to see how a protein behaves in its natural environment and that it could help better understand proteins linked to disease and how they might respond to certain therapies. The research involves using a very high concentration of light which, when the beam is transmitted through a specifically engineered nano structure,…
