New school to open in Bahrain in August 2024

Bukhatir Education Advancement and Management International has announced plans to open a new school of creative science in Bahrain next year. With a focus on academic excellence, the school aims to instil in students, creativity and critical thinking.

The kaleidoscopic lens applied to this chapter explores how science is learned through different epistemological approaches by diverse cross-disciplinary content. Digitalisation in its myriad of forms affords democratisation of information, new modes of visualisation, interaction and fast, responsive modes of communication that both disrupt and bring opportunities for a vibrant learning ecosystem in science. The chapter canvases conceptual, creative and critical exemplars from design, art, busin...

Rubber-like materials can exhibit both spring-like and flow-like behaviors simultaneously, which contributes to their exceptional damping abilities.

Rubber-like materials have outstanding damping properties because they can concurrently display flow-like and spring-like characteristics. Recently, Japanese researchers have created a novel technique that combines dynamic micro X-Ray computed tomography with dynamic mechanical analysis to better understand the dynamic viscoelasticity of these materials.

Plastic waste that accumulates on land eventually ends up in the ocean as microplastics. However, it is now speculated that microplastics are also present in the atmosphere, contained in clouds. In a new study, researchers analyzed cloud water samples from high-altitude mountains in Japan to ascertain the amount of microplastics in them. They also shed light on how these airborne particles influence cloud formation and their negative impact on the climate.
