How do ultra-precision balances measure the mass of microscopic substances using the piezoelectric effect?

In this blog post, we will take a closer look at how ultra-precision balances use the piezoelectric effect to measure the mass of microscopic substances such as gas molecules and DNA.   Scales often measure mass by using the principle of the lever or by measuring changes in electrical resistance. So how do ultra-precise scales measure the mass of microscopic substances such as gas molecules...

How does the theory of evolution explain the origin and evolution of species?

In this blog post, we will look at how the theory of evolution explains the origin and evolution of various species through natural selection and genetic variation.   The theory of evolution is a theory that explains how all living organisms have changed as a result of evolution and how new species have formed through the factors or structures that affect evolution.

The development of tools from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age was made possible by the smelting of metals...

What is the secret to the low-cost, high-efficiency diagnosis of antigen-antibody-based LFIA kits?

In this blog post, we will look at the principles and features of how LFIA kits using antigen-antibody reactions enable fast and accurate diagnosis at low cost.   Testing kits are widely used to diagnose health conditions or to investigate bloodstains at crime scenes. Various scientific principles are applied to the production of the kits, and it is required to produce kits that can be...

Is there sufficient scientific evidence for the theory of yin-yang and the five elements and sasang- medicine in Korean medicine?

In this blog post, I will examine whether the core theories of Korean medicine, the theory of yin-yang and the five elements and sasang- medicine, have sufficient scientific evidence from the perspective of Popper’s theory of falsification.   When I was young, I wanted to be taller, so I went to a Korean medicine clinic run by a famous Korean medicine doctor on TV for a while.
