Magnets in helmets might make football safer 
Arden Jansen
There had been lots of new and previous research in the concussion football field. This is because of the increased contact in this sport. The research has been on reducing the amount of concussions with new technology in helmets. One of the new technology's that the scientist are looking into is magnets. These magnets would reduce head injuries or not have them at all because of the way that they are able to repel each other. The technology today is still not concussion proof while this has a better shot. 
The goal of all companies is to reduce the amount of energy after the impact has already occurred. They have found magnets which could potentially do this job. They say that the magnets would put a break on it before it happens. This is because it would soften the blow in a helmet-to-helmet hit. Colello has been the main researcher in these experiments. He actually started by ordering a magnet of off Amazon.  
This leads up to the cost of it. Many schools will not be able to afford protection like this. That’s why he took financial struggles into consideration. These would be costly nonmatter what he would try to do to it. This is because of the shape. They need to be costumed shaped in order to fit inside a helmet. It also needs to be fairly big so it can prevent concussions in as many spots as possible.  
These actually have not been tested out yet. He has been waiting for the magnets to come in. The magnets that he ordered will be the prototype of what the real ones will look like. I think that this research will not end until they find a reasonable fix. Their biggest issue will be the cost of the product.  As I said before, it will be hard to find a good price for it. I think that will be the biggest part of the research.

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions Maisy Chase Up until now only three classes of chemical reactions were known. Unimolecular reactions occur when one reactant undergoes bond breaking or forming to create different products. Bimolecular reactions are where two reactants collide and then undergo bond breaking or forming. Termolecular association reactions, where two reactants collide to form a whole with a new chemical bond between the two reactants. A third molecule, known as the bath gas, then removes some of the internal kinetic energy of that molecule to stabilize it. Researchers from Columbia University , led by Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Michael P. Burke, have discovered a fourth class of chemical reaction known as “chemically termolecular reactions.” This involves the breaking and bonding of three molecules. The team showed that these chemically termolecular reactions not only are major chemical pathways but also ...

Mahar-ullah Shahminah- Molecular Gastronomy

Molecular Gastronomy   By: Shahminah Mahar-ullah Date:3/22/19 Molecular Gastronomy is both a fusion of science and cooking. The scientific discipline gives the chef complete control of what the texture, taste, and physical appearance of the dish. Molecular Gastronomy is a modern unique style of cooking that some would say it could be considered art. There are three aspects of Molecular Gastronomy, as i said before it is texture,taste,and physical appearance. Molecular Gastronomy can have a very simple and familiar taste or a new and unique taste. Taste is often a aspect that is forgotten about in Molecular Gastronomy. Mostly because people who don't know much about the style of cooking kinda forget that its actually cooking ,not just some form a science. Taste is the main focus with cooking in general and with molecular cooking taste can be brought to a whole new level since you have complete control over each part of the dish. Same goes for physical appearance and ...

Force and Motion

Zach Fluck Science blog Force and Motion Blog Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, born on December 25, 1642. He died on March 20, 1727, most likely from mercury poisoning or old age. However, during his life, he made several contributions to modern science and advanced our understanding of physics tremendously. Arguably his most famous discovery was gravity. However, he had to use his 3 laws of motion to make this accomplishment. Newton understood that an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by unbalanced forces. Therefore, if an object such as an apple is in a resting position there must be a force to make the apple fall to the ground. He discovered this invisible force to be gravity. At a young age Newton was removed from school to be a farmhand. Despite returning to school the turning point in his live was he left his hometown to attend Cambridge University. After attending Cambridge he returned to his hometown where his observat...
