Record-High Seawater Temperature Recorded Near Southern Tip of Florida A significant milestone in oceanic conditions may have been reached as scientists document the hottest seawater ever recorded. On Monday, sea surface temperatures soared to 100 degrees Fahrenheit near the southern tip of Florida. This alarming event coincides with a heat wave affecting North America and …
The interface of the heterostructure: The upper half shows the magnetic moments (all red) in the ferromagnet and the lower half the magnetic moments in the antiferromagnet (alternating red/green). The yellow connecting lines represent the coupling of the moments of the ferromagnet and antiferromagnet at the interface. Through this coupling, a magnetic excitation can be …

In a report released by UNESCO, the UN’s education, culture, and science agency, it was stated that while technology can play a role in education, it may hinder the development of basic skills like reading. …
Astonishingly, the vast majority of over-the-counter sports supplements do not accurately list the key ingredients they contain. In fact, a recent study published in JAMA Network Open revealed that only 11 percent of nearly 60 tested dietary supplements contained the stated ingredients in the correct quantities. Even more concerning is the fact that 40 percent …
