DO ALL FISH AND SHELLFISH CONTAIN MERCURY?

Mercury levels in the oceans have tripled since the Industrial Revolution, thanks to mining and the burning of fossil fuels. All sea creatures absorb some of this heavy metal directly, and, once it’s in the body, there’s no way of getting rid of it. The amount of mercury in fish varies between species. Long-lived predators like tuna and swordfish tend to contain the most, because they also absorb mercury from their prey and they’ve had a long time to accumulate it. The lowest levels are found in short-lived species lower down the food chain, such as oysters and shrimp.

Why do different countries use different mains voltages?

Why do different countries use different mains voltages? the biggest disparity is between the usA on 110V and most of the rest of the world on 230V. America’s lower voltage goes all the way back to thomas edison, who introduced direct current (dC) mains electricity at 110V. edison’s rival nikola tesla showed that long power lines transmitted alternating current (AC) more efficiently than dC. His AC approach won out, but he stuck with edison’s 110V. But by the time electrification spread to europe early in the 20th Century, lamps had filaments that could give out more light and handle greater power loads. so the Berliner elektrizitätswerke company in Germany established 230V as the standard. 

Do video games change the brain?

Do video games affect behaviour? Video games are likely able to affect the way we behave in a number of ways. For instance, there’s concern about whether violence in games makes young people more violent. It’s not uncommon for news outlets to blame games every time a crime happens, but how true is that claim? This is controversial even within the scientific community. Yes, exposure to violence seems to affect the brain, but studies have also found that we’re good at distinguishing between real and virtual violence, and aggressive behaviour is better explained by other, mainly socio-economic factors. Numerous studies about the effects of games on the brain had been published, but all that information had not been put together until now. How did you review the research?  We gathered all scientific articles to date and compared results. In total, we found 116 experiments, the first from the 1980s. Many compared regular video game players with people who had never played; other...
