Electron microscopes use beams electrons to illuminate a specimen at an extremely high magnified image. The electron microscope maginifies things so greatly that scientists can now identify subatomic structures and study them in greater depths can before with a light microscope. This is greatly beneficial to society because now scientists can identify cell structures, sub-atomic […]

The presentation sparked my interest about aspirin: I was interested to learn that aspirin poses an effect on one’s entire body, and thus, it may sometimes lead to complications. I was also very amazed at Pinar’s artwork, which is very unique, but shows so […]
Magic is a word that is sometimes used to explain things that would otherwise be thought of to be impossible. Many times, it is also used to explain something that is unknown. “How did the cookie get on the floor.” “I don’t know…magic?” The more and more things progress, however, the less and less “impossible” […]
