Since 1901, the Nobel Prizes have been awarded to individuals and organizations for work leading to great advances for humanity, in line with the wishes of inventor Alfred Nobel. The 2024 winners have been announced between Oct. 7 and yesterday, as follows. Medicine prize The Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine was awarded to Americans Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their discovery of microRNA, tiny pieces of genetic material that alter how genes work at the cellular level, solving a decades-old mystery, and could lead to new ways of treating cancer. The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute, which awarded the prize,
Most people enjoy the simple pleasure of creating bubbles using soap and water or a handy bubble gun, but have you ever wondered why these bubbles come out in such a uniform, spherical form? The answer delves into the fascinating realm of physics and the special behaviors of liquids. Soap bubbles are formed when air molecules become trapped inside a thin layer of soapy water, giving them a shimmering appearance. As a liquid, the soapy film takes up the smallest possible surface area—water molecules naturally do this to achieve the most stable state. And guess what shape has the least surface
With the demands of academic life, do you frequently find yourself struggling to maintain focus and alertness in the afternoon hours? If so, this may be a sign that your body is in need of a brief respite—a nap. The tendency to feel sleepy in the afternoon is largely attributed to our internal mechanism known as the biological clock, which regulates our sleep-wake cycles. This complex system makes us feel tired at night and awake in the morning. However, research suggests that for the majority of individuals, the biological clock does not follow a strict 24-hour cycle, but rather operates on
Continued from yesterday (延續自昨日) https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang When water molecules stick together, this also creates surface tension. This surface tension acts like a stretchy skin that resists outside forces. Meanwhile, the air molecules inside the bubble are pushing outwards trying to escape, but the surface tension pushes back with an equal and opposite force. It’s like a tug-of-war, but perfectly balanced, and this balance of forces is what keeps the bubble together. Bubbles are also easy to burst because their existence all hinges on the thin film. A collision with the ground or a wall can rupture this delicate membrane. Likewise, too much air pushed
