Science and Technology
With the aid and support of technology and all the good it has offered for society, many people have pointed out that modern technology has created fear and anxiety, especially for the younger generation of missing out on fun by constantly being able to monitor and see what other people...
Man has walked on the moon–a line we heard in 1969 for the first time ever. Since then, scientists have made multiple advancements within space, but man has not walked on the moon since 1972. We tend to hear little information regarding what is occurring in space and the advancements...
My parents always shamed my fixation with video games. They said that I stayed in the house too much, remaining isolated from other kids my age. They believed that going outside and making friends was imperative to my social development, and while that statement reigns true, I ended up turning...
We all exist in a world powered by technology. From the cars we drive, to the materials we use made from plastics, from the gas we use to heat our house–everything in our daily life has been produced by technology and the humans who created it. Our lives are centered...
Coral reefs are a key ocean ecosystem, but the consequences of climate change over the last few decades have left many of them completely decimated. Many activists and companies are actively working to reverse damage and rebuild coral reefs. Let’s take a look at some of those efforts! Ecoblox The...
The UN has released a new report, Global Water Bankruptcy: Living Beyond Our Hydrological Means in the Post-Crisis Era, which argues that many of Earth’s natural water systems have been so badly destroyed that they can no longer “return to their historical conditions”. The report explains how ”societies have withdrawn...
There are multiple types of these plastic-rock hybrids. Plastistones are formed when plastic melts and bonds with existing rocks. Plastistone is used as an “umbrella term” for these plastic and rock mixtures. Other categories of plastistones include plastiglomerates, which are rocks made from sedimentary particles and other debris held together...

Software updates are important parts of technology that should be a quick and easy thing to take care of, but they almost always turn into a bigger deal than they should be. It seems like such an easy task at first. We get the notification that an update is available,...
Technology is honestly a really hard concept for me to understand. It’s strange because it can be both beneficial and harmful depending on how you use it. It can make us both brilliant and lazy, which might sound confusing at first. You see, on one hand, we’ve become so reliant...
In a recent discovery by researchers at Northwestern University, a team has figured out a method to redesign a chemotherapy drug into a new, nanoparticle form that is several times more potent than its previous form while also being safer for the patient. If this discovery gathers further proof, this...
Let’s get one thing straight: technology alone isn’t going to save the planet. No app, gadget, or shiny new electric car is going to magically reverse climate change.
