Attract

Cowboy is better known for its sleek electric bikes that you can see in many major cities across Europe. And if you look at the persons riding those Cowboy bikes, most of the time, you’ll see a young adult heading to an office with a laptop in a backpack. That’s why the company is launching a brand-new bike called Cowboy Cross. It’s an all-road model that aims for comfort and long-distance trips. I had the opportunity to see the new Cowboy Cross last week and take it for a test ride for a few minutes. When it comes…

A new study has overturned a fundamental principle of physics by demonstrating that similarly charged particles can attract each other in a solution, with the effect varying between positive and negative charges depending on the solvent. This discovery has significant implications for various scientific processes, including self-assembly and crystallization. The research reveals the importance of solvent structure at the interface in determining interparticle interactions, challenging long-held beliefs and indicating a…

Unlike human relationships, particle physics is strict when it comes to the dictum 'like repels, opposites attract'. In the same way that the same poles of any two magnets resist touching, negative and positive charges have a universal aversion to their own company.Yet chemists at the University of Oxford have uncovered a tale in a test tube that demonstrates love will always find a way. Even between particles of the same charge."I still find it fascinating to see these particles attract, even having seen this a thousand…

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. But now, scientists at the University of Oxford have found that under certain circumstances, particles can attract those of the same charge.Particles can gain either a positive or negative charge, and this dictates how they behave around other particles. Put two with opposite charges close together and they’ll be attracted to each other, while two of the same charge will repel each…

On the vast grasslands of Alberta, a group of sharp-tailed grouse gather for the most important event of the year: a song and dance competition.While most male birds compete against each other to win a mate, the grouse take a different approach. They perform a synchronized dance routine as a team, and the more males, the more impressive their performance.These sharp-tailed grouse put on a remarkable show. With their heads down and wings outstretched, they stomp and rattle their tail feathers. Flashes of yellow from the…

The last page of our Asus ROG Phone 8/8 Pro review begins with “The ROG Phone is not a cheap device.” And we’re not the only ones that feel that way, in fact, it was the common sentiment in last week’s poll. Our review ends on a positive note and we found that Asus succeeded in its quest to make the ROG Phone 8 models more appealing to mainstream consumers. Many still see it as a gaming phone and aren’t interested in it, but maybe they will reconsider. As for others, a hotly debated topic in the comments was the…

Whale watching is a great sport in the crypto market, with some actions revealing trends and price movements before they happen. One such whale movement took XRP holders by surprise and thus began a shift to other popular altcoins like Chainlink. Investors also surprised the market by picking a left-field choice in Scorpion Casino (SCORP), a project that mixes fun sides of crypto with serious profits that begin right in the presale stage. Join us as we explore where the market is headed and also do a deep…
