First for the site of the scientist: the Dokifat 3 satellite suddenly returned to operation and broadcasting after two years

  • 3 תגובות
According to David Greenberg, a satellite communications instructor at the Herzliya Science Center, the listening was accidental but was made possible by the fact that Dokifat 3 transmits in the same frequency range as the terrestrial satellites. Now the students of the science center, whose class before them launched it, are trying to understand what happened

I'm angry, I feel good - about the benefits of consuming content that provokes anger

On the face of it, it seems that the possibility that we intentionally seek content that harms us, is contrary to the research-based hedonistic principle, according to which man strives to avoid pain and maximize pleasure, and therefore would prefer to avoid consuming content that evokes negative feelings such as anger. New research proves the opposite
The images show the ability of the satellite cells to adhere and spread (in red) on scaffolds printed in 5D according to a predefined geometry, and were taken a week after they were seeded on the scaffolds. This process was observed both in scaffolds consisting of a combination of alginate with soy protein (top row) and in those consisting of a combination of alginate with pea protein (bottom row). In both cases, pictures were taken at different magnifications (10x - left and middle column; XNUMXx - right column). Prof. Shulamit Levenberg's lab, Technion
