CHEMISTRY: Here’s a mixture that looks like it might be worth investigating – bacon caramel popcorn! I mean, I like bacon and I like caramel popcorn, but bacon caramel popcorn? Hmmmm….
So now that you know about mixtures, could you figure out how to separate one? Keep these notes handy!
A Scientist turns plastic waste into soap by turning these this waste into surfactants. The usual two thirds of the waste that sits in landfills, is now down to just about a tenth.

A group of physic split up to construct a structure that could make a beam of electrons that made them go faster. This is was in contrast with the normal tendencies of electrons which are going rapidly everywhere.

This week I struggled with trying to stay on top of my work. I missed last week’s web post and I waited till the last minute with the online homework. I will try to do better next week
Scientists are recycling trash and turning it into soap.
They turn plastic into a surfactant, which mix together compounds that would normally be immiscible.

I struggled with learning most of the parts of how heat and energy is transferred from one thing to another. Im going to continue to keep doing my work and continue studying everything i need to, to learn
Crabs normally survive in cold arctic waters. In 2018 and 2019 an unusual marine heat wave prevented the normal sea ice to form. Over 10 million snow crabs have disappeared off of the coast of Alaska.

Lignin aids in giving trees their tough and sturdy structure. Lignin can also resist decay and also help plants carry water along with the nutrients inside the water. https://www.snexplores.org/article/scientists-say-lignin-definition-pronunciation
Blocking an aged- related enzyme may restore muscle strength. They named it a gerozyme. The enzyme breaks down a protein. The protein activates profileration of muscle stem cells.

Scientists have discovered and named an enzyme that is related to aging, it is called the “gerozyme.” The gerozyme destroys “prostaglandin E2”, which is a protein. This protein triggers the boost of muscle stem cells. As recently found in mice when the gerozyme was blocked, the elderly mice became stronger as their old and damaged muscle cells were restored by this protein. However, it was also discovered that muscle was lost in younger mice. Impossible recovery seems possible if we are able to block the gerozyme 15-PDGH in humans.

Scientists can turn plastic into soap. Scientists developed a special reactor that carefully heats and condenses plastic into wax. After that they cap the wax molecules with a group of oxygen atom, and then treat it in an alkaline solution. Therefore turning the wax into a surfactant, then they turn it into wax.

An estimated 10 billion snow crabs had gone missing off the Alaskan coast. For many years this stirred a lot of mystery. Until present time a study in the Science finds that a marine heat wave probably spurred a mass die-off, in part by causing crabs to starve.

Scientist find a way to recycle materials from car batteries. This method uses no harmful chemicals, and can recover almost all of the aluminum and lithium from the batteries.

Scientist are making soap out of recycled trash. They turn plastic to surfactant which is when you mix compounds that you normally couldn’t.
Recently over the years the “metaverse” which is a place where you can go anywhere and do anything in a virtual reality has been growing. A big example that has to do with the metaverse is the hit movie “Ready Player One”. The most recent metaverse in today’s reality is VR experiences or concerts in video games. We have not reached a metaverse reality like the movies have but it has not been ruled out and it is even possible that in upcoming years we could reach such a possibility.

Researchers have discovered magma moving deep under the surface of Mars and is still volcanically active. They have detected over 1,000 Marsquakes that is very similar to a earthquake but has caused experts to find Mars to be volcanically active.

spider silk is known for its great strength and toughness. Spiders can’t push out the fibers the same way silk worms can: they’re immensely territorial and inclined to eat their neighbors, and they refuse to keep at doing tasks for a long time. But for the first time researchers from China have coaxed pure spider silk out of genially modified silk worms. In this study, researchers used gene-editing tool CRISPR/Cas9 to insert instructions for making spider silk protein into silkworms and making sure the protein wound up in the silkworms’ silk-making glands. If the silk someday makes it out of the laboratory, doctors could use it to sew sturdy structures. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/first-genetically-modified-silkworms-spider-silk
It says that high-energy electrons can treat skin cancer by damaging the DNA within cancer cells, killing them. They want to be able to have a fiber that goes deeper beneath the skin.

Snow crab populations ha be been on the fall sence 2018. Scientists have been learning how to brace for a major loss in snow crabs and how to recover either the population or the economy. They are not quite sure the exact reasons but they believe it is rising temperatures

Pavel Sanda wondered how new memories were added into our collection without erasing the old memories. He decided to use an AI model to represent how sleep helps memory. The AI learned the new things without forgetting the old things. Sleep helps us not to forget our old memories while learning all these new things.
