The Robots that Fight Cancer
In Spring of 2014, I fell in love with robots. I remember the exact moment that it happened. I was studying an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering, and I had the excellent opportunity to work as an intern for the iRobot Corporation. Towards the end of the semester, another intern and I were sent down to Cape Canaveral with one of iRobot’s directors to represent the company at a robotics convention. We were there for a few days, and most of the time the director had other responsibilities, so the two of us were left in charge of the booth.

Birds, Bees, and Inclusive Taxonomy
This article was written by Corey Batson and originally published in The Particle on 9/7/2021. This week, I have been studying honeybees for work. They’re fascinating insects that play such important roles in our modern lives. Admittedly, I haven’t learned much about bees since 8th grade biology, so most of the information was practically new to me and made it even more fascinating. For instance, I knew that bees danced in order to communicate, but I was completely unaware that we knew how to translate that dance precisely!

Your Electrical Body's Electrical Nutrition
MORTAGY RASHED Although there is immense potential in the realm of nutrition to reverse our society's current health crisis and raise our general healthspan, the healthcare sector, as well as food supplement firms, do not comprehend the fundamental causes of disease or the true nature of the human body.

Airstrip One vs. America in 2020
Airstrip One, the fictionalized version of London, in George Orwell's provoking novel - 1984, is staggeringly similar to the America we know in 2020. It is inarguable that this year is one of the most unique, appalling, and critical periods of time that anyone alive has ever experienced. Due to many reasons, and a significant contributor being the COVID-19 pandemic, societies have faced momentous loss, hardship, and consequence. However, that is not all. 2020 America has come to many profound realizations of critical societal issues, holes in the technology system, social constructs, and law & order across the board. All of which fall under gargantuan sectors of how a first-world country functions.

How buying a house saved my life
As 2021 began in the UK the government made it a touch easier to get on the housing ladder, or for those on it, easier to move up it; the reason boiled down to the global pandemic, trying to build both trust and security. For my partner and I, we had planned to have a big move in 2022 the government initiative however pushed that forward by a year.

Subconscious Activities
Humans have amazing abilities to do things subconsciously. The patterns of repetitive actions are stored in our brain and are carried out automatically when required. Breathing, one of the most important things to keep us alive, is another of the subconscious task we perform. But as soon as we realize that we are breathing subconsciously i.e. without thinking, without doing it, we start trying to control it.

Understanding Sleep
In the last two phases of NREM sleep waves, brain function takes on a slower rhythm of ocean waves. In the second half of the night, the circulation slows down and the body shifts overnight between REM sleep and less sleep. Overnight you can go through the same cycle of four or five sleep levels per night but spend less time each time in a deep sleep.

Left Brain vs Right Brain
In general, the left side of the brain likes to control many aspects of language and mind, while the right side likes to process spatial information and visual perception. Analysts, rationalists, and data observers say the left brain is stronger, and they use it more than the right brain. The brains of the left people are often made more sensitive than those of the right hand, which may explain the perception that people on the left as a group tend to be more artistic.

Development of Genetic Engineering
The most famous example is the early use of functional DNA technology to produce genetic mutations. The first genetically modified plant, tobacco, was first reported in 1983, when cigarettes infected with agrobacteria were transformed into plasmids, resulting in the introduction of chimeric genes into tobacco.
