This blog post explains in simple terms the role that invisible cells play as the basic units of life. We often hear the term “cell.” Cancer cells have plagued us for a long time, and recently there has been controversy over stem cells. Cosmetics companies extract collagen cells from pigs and advertise that they are good for the skin. As such, cells seem to be commonly used and familiar in...
In this blog post, we will take a closer look at the actual scope of work of forensic scientists, the detailed fields of forensic science, and the process of becoming a forensic scientist. It has been some time since the drama “Sign” was popular in South Korea. There were many interesting elements in the drama, such as conflicts between characters and conspiracies, and one of them was the...
In this blog post, we will examine the scientific possibilities and ethical controversies surrounding embryo cloning technology, and consider its limitations and social implications. Modern technology, variously referred to as human cloning, embryo cloning, or human embryo cloning, is as broad in scope as it is confusing in name. Some people think that this technology will create clones...
In this blog post, we will take a scientific look at how microorganisms in the stomachs of ruminants break down fiber and use it to produce energy. Carbohydrates are an essential source of energy for humans and other animals. Carbohydrates are divided into fiber and non-fiber. Humans use enzymes synthesized in the body to break down non-fiber, such as starch in grains, into glucose, which...
In this blog post, we will explore the principles behind bacteriophages, which reproduce by infecting bacteria, and why they are attracting attention as a treatment method. Some people will argue that this is nonsense. However, no one thinks it is strange to eat lactobacillus bacteria, so why are people reluctant to eat viruses? In fact, in the US, a virus called bacteriophage is sprinkled...
In this blog post, we explore the possibility of applying theories of the microscopic world, such as quantum mechanics, to the macroscopic world, and how this could be used to predict or change the future society. The world we live in is a macroscopic world that can be distinguished visually. In other words, we live in a world where we can distinguish objects by receiving photons emitted...
In this blog post, we will examine the selfish attitudes of modern society through the phenomenon of free riding in university teamwork and consider why it is important to live righteously. During our college years, we sometimes witness “free riding.” This refers to situations where certain members of a team do not participate actively in a team project but receive the same grade as others...
In this blog post, we will look at the principles and possibilities of wireless power transmission technology, focusing on magnetic induction and magnetic resonance. Wireless power transmission is less efficient than wired power transmission, which connects devices directly to a power source, but it offers the advantage of allowing electronic devices to be moved and used freely. Wireless...
In this blog post, we will examine whether the common belief that “a house built on sand will collapse” is scientifically valid by looking at the settlement characteristics and differences between clay and sand soil. There is an old saying, “a house built on sand.” The dictionary defines it as “a house built on sand, meaning something that has a weak foundation and is likely to collapse...
In this blog post, we will revisit Modigliani’s artistic philosophy and works based on his statement, “I will paint the eyes when I know the soul.” On the last day of September, when summer and autumn coexisted, I visited the Modigliani exhibition, ‘The Legend of Montparnasse,’ at the Hangaram Art Museum. This exhibition was prepared over a long period of time, and the efforts and...
