Major character death is a trope as old as storytelling itself, meant to add stakes and realism to the most fantastical of narratives, or to simply inject some shock value to keep things from feeling stale. When someone you know and have grown to love is killed off, things feel a little more serious, a little more real, and their death hits harder than, say, some nameless guy who had the misfortune to wear a red shirt.There have been times when the death of a beloved character is just too sad, or has to be reversed to suit some future…

Why Does Grandpa Walk So Slowly? by Yoav J. Tenembaum “When you look deeper and read between the lines, you see the love and bond that is shared by two different generations.” Sometimes we don’t realize the significance of the relationship we have with our grandparents until they are no longer with us. As children we might think they are out of touch, uncool, or stuck in the past saying things like, “Back in my day…” but we often forget that our grandparents lived lives and had different identities before us! In this book Why Does Grandpa Walk So Slowly?…

A robot inspired by Cheerios releasing alcohol fuel with a fluorescent dyeJackson K. Wilt et al. 2024 The same phenomena that let beetles float across ponds and cause Cheerios to cluster together in your cereal bowl can be harnessed to make tiny floating robots. One of these, the Marangoni effect, arises when a fluid with a lower surface tension rapidly spreads out across the surface of a fluid with higher surface tension. This effect is exploited by Stenus beetles, which have evolved to zip across ponds by secreting a substance called stenusin, as well as soap-powered toy boats. To investigate how…

Alongside these benefits come less appetizing elements—countless micro- and nano-plastics. These plastic particles, measuring less than 5 millimeters, enter our oceans through human waste and penetrate the food chain. According to an Ifremer study, around 24,400 billion microplastics are floating on the ocean’s surface. These particles are found in all marine organisms—from microalgae to fish, which occupy higher levels of the food chain. This phenomenon not only threatens marine ecosystems but…

Shortly after this, Eratosthenes became the first person to work out the circumference of the planet.Researchers think pre-Inca civilizations knew the location of the equator, creating the astronomical observatory Catequilla…
