For instance, it can help scientists measure ocean acidification or other threats increased carbon levels pose to aquatic ecosystems. But one major, and often…

Previously, the AMPTP insisted that its most recent proposed contract was its “best and final” offer. But according to The Hollywood Reporter, SAG-AFTRA refused and walked away from the negotiations over the AMPTP’s insistence on pushing for new rules regarding the use of people’s likenesses that would ultimately leave actors in the lurch. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the AMPTP’s newest contract would allow studios to secure the digitally scanned likenesses of all Schedule F performers — members of the guild making more…

In coastal sediments, microbial groups relying on labile organic matter are enriched, transforming protein-like DOM into humic-like DOM. In deep-sea sediments, the bio-availability of organic matter decreases and microbial groups that can degrade humic-like DOM become dominant, which lead to the net consumption of humic-like DOM in deep layers and an overall much lower production flux of humic-like DOM in deep-sea sediments.

Currently, small metal implants either have to be surgically removed from the body once they're no longer needed, or just left inside indefinitely – both of which can lead to complications. Now, however, scientists have devised a method of breaking them down in place using liquid metal.Led by Asst. Prof. Giovanni Traverso and postdoctoral researcher Vivian Feig, a team at MIT drew upon a process known as liquid metal embrittlement.In this phenomenon, hard metals such as zinc or stainless steel disintegrate upon contact…

Coffee Data ScienceQualifying refractometersThe digital refractometer market has grown a bit in the past few years. At first, there was only VST. When the Atago came on the market, some experimental results suggested that the two produced similar results that did not differ statistically. Now, a cheaper, smaller DiFluid refractometer is available so let’s collect data and take a look.A refractometer, in coffee, is used to measure the refractive index which correlates to the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and this can be…
