The particles created magnetic dipoles, a phenomenon where their magnetic poles attract each other, creating a field of "chains" on the liquid's surface. This interaction interferes with how the emulsion separates.

Salt powered refrigerator

A group of teens in India decided to try and create a refrigerator that didn't need electricity - so that vaccines could be transported to remote locations. 

After much trial and error, they found that using ammonium hydroxide as their salt component met their need and could keep a temperature just above freezing. 

And then they added some additional salts and were able to get below freezing and remain that way for some time. 

There's a cool (ha!) bit of physics involved her where ions are released when the salt is added to water and the net result is an endothermic reaction.

At least someone gets it.

Another mass shooting at another school. This time a short distance from the Capitol. 

… while they work on rolling back legislation and putting guns in more hands. 

Desantis is involved in underhanded dealings?

Say it isn't so!

Essentially the HOPE foundation, which is run by his wife, became a political tool. It used donation money to give to a PAC that he controlled in order to achieve some objectives. 

And several of his cronies were in on it too. 

He's outlived his usefulness, and now the Republican Party has decided to no longer support him.

The myth of neutral reporting

This is a short summary of why neutral reporting doesn't actually exist. 

journalism is built on judgment calls. Reporters constantly make choices that reflect their personal and institutional values. Pretending otherwise only feeds distrust.
