Sharks’ Predation Mystery, Gold Nuggets in Quartz Veins, Hydrogel for Osteoarthritis
Scientists uncover the first documented predation event of a porbeagle shark, revealing complex interactions between large sharks. Discover the fascinating science behind the accumulation of gold nuggets in quartz veins. Chinese scientists make a groundbreaking discovery in the treatment of osteoarthritis with a hydrogel material. Plus, the Carnegie Science Center hosts a free and educational event called 'MessFest' for kids to engage in hands-on science experiments.
