Vampires were right: Aging skin can be made youthful again with young blood
Vampires were right: Aging skin can be made youthful again with young blood A new study suggests that the myth about young blood may actually be true: young blood could be the key to reversing the effects of aging on the skin. While the idea may sound like something out of a supernatural tale, the […]
Explained: The physics that makes the Eiffel Tower grow taller each summer
The Physics Behind the Eiffel Tower’s Summer Growth Paris’s most famous monument is never exactly the same height twice. Conceived in 1884 as a temporary exhibit for the 1889 World’s Fair, the Eiffel Tower has since become a permanent and iconic fixture in the Parisian skyline. Standing tall at 1,063 feet, the tower experiences a […]
