How do tiny invisible cells create living organisms?

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...

Do forensic scientists only perform autopsies?

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...

Embryo cloning: a life-saving technology or the beginning of eugenics?

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...

Why can ruminants produce energy by eating only grass?

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...

How do bacteriophages find and kill bacteria?

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...

Can theories of the microscopic world be applied to the macroscopic world?

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...

Is free riding just a teamwork issue, or is it a reflection of selfishness in life?

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...

Is it possible to transmit electricity wirelessly in a stable manner?

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...
