The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is the first institution within the Universities of Wisconsin to offer the opportunity to become a leader in this fast-paced industry. This graduate certificate is 100 percent online and provides participants with fundamental knowledge in the science of cannabis. Undergraduate students at UWSP also have the chance to complete the graduate certificate concurrently with their undergraduate work. The legal cannabis industry is projected to grow to $45 billion by 2025.

In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes how experiments led to the discovery of a way to get some fluids to remain as an emulsion for long periods of time without the use of surfactants. It is widely known that when two immiscible liquids, such as water and oil, do not remain so for very long—they slowly separate into two layers. This is because they never really mix to begin with; instead, they coexist as droplets that coalesce when they come into

In Greenland, scientists claim to have found the most primitive signal of the Earth’s magnetic field, a kind of dome that protects the Earth and all the life it houses from outside radiation. Its range extends hundreds of kilometers beyond the atmosphere. But this protective sky was not always there, and dating its appearance is relevant to finishing writing the first chapters of life on Earth.

In 2017, astronomers at the Pan-STARRS1 observatory spotted an object as it hurtled past our Sun at 38.3 kilometers per second (23.8 miles per second) Scientists were able to determine its size and shape, finding it is around 400 meters (1,300 feet) long, and likely shaped like a pancake. Advertisement Advertisement The object is likely an interstellar planetesimal, which lost hydrogen in its encounter with our Sun, altering its velocity.

physicists have identified a brand new type of magnetic material called altermagnets. These materials possess a magnetic field that lets them hold up photos on a refrigerator or cause a magnet compass to point north. In antiferromagnets, the atoms’ spins point in alternating directions, and their magnetic fields cancel out, producing no net field.
