Our Body 🫆

the electric Eels can generate 600 volts ... with no battery [7/30, *1:13 PM] Taimoor Khan Nasir: What happens when we combine the power of artificial intelligence with the infinite frontier of space? From autonomous rovers on Mars to predictive models analyzing exoplanets, AI is revolutionizing space exploration. Machines now help us sift through unimaginable amounts of cosmic data, spot anomalies, navigate unknown terrains, and make split-second decisions millions of miles away from Earth. This isn’t science fiction—it’s the foundation of our interplanetary future. As AI and robotics evolve, so too does our ability to expand human presence beyond Earth, responsibly and intelligently.

What you’re seeing here may look simple… 👇 But for many people trying to build a family through IVF, this step is everything. 🧬 In this microscope image, we likely see mature eggs (oocytes) with motile sperm swimming around them — a possible glimpse into the early phase of fertilization during IVF. This process may be part of conventional IVF, where eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish, allowing fertilization to potentially occur naturally in the lab. It’s different from ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), where a single sperm is directly injected into the egg. Why does this matter? Because behind each of these cells is a story — of strength, heartbreak, and hope. And at GFG, we honor that journey. We know this path isn’t easy. But we’re here to walk it with you — with science, with compassion, and with unwavering support. Subscribe ➡️ Under the Microscope 🔬

Yes, those green things inside the cells are chloroplasts. As you can see in this video, exposing plant cells to salt water will dehydrate the cells, therefore watering plants with salt water will kill them. This is an example of osmosis in action! Putting the plant leaf in distilled water means exposing the plant cells to a hypotonic solution. By osmosis, water molecules move from higher concentration to lower concentration. Thus, water moves from the outside to the inside of the cells. This causes the plant cells to swell, but the cell wall prevents them from bursting, therefore the cells will become as full of water as they can be. If they didn’t have a cell wall, the cells would swell so much that they would burst (this is what happens to animal cells when they are placed in distilled water). In the second part of the video, the plant cells are exposed to a salt solution (hypertonic solution). Once again, by osmosis water molecules move from higher concentration to lower concentration. But in this case, the inside of the cell has a higher concentration of water molecules than the outside of the cell hypertonic solution. Thus, water moves from the inside of the cells towards the outside of the cells making the cells shrink. The cell walls are rigid so they are not affected by this, but you can see how the cell becomes smaller and smaller as it loses its water content by osmosis. By the way, some plants (e.g. plants living near the ocean shoreline…) have special adaptations to get rid of the salt and maintain osmotic balance. But the rest of the plants will eventually die if you water them with salt water. Subscribe ➡️ Under the Microscope 🔬

When you look closely at an iPhone’s 5nm chip, you’re seeing an incredibly small but powerful piece of technology. This chip is made using a special process called Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, which uses high-tech lasers to carve tiny circuits onto a silicon wafer. These circuits are made up of billions of tiny switches, called transistors, that control how the chip processes information. Since the transistors are so small—just a few nanometers wide (a nanometer is about 100,000 times thinner than a human hair)—more of them can fit on the chip. This makes the phone faster, more energy-efficient, and less likely to overheat. The 5nm technology is essential for modern advancements like artificial intelligence (AI), 5G networks, and powerful processors. However, making these chips requires extreme precision, rare materials, and some of the most advanced manufacturing machines in the world. Subscribe ➡️ Under the Microscope 🔬

Flower petals, though delicate and soft, are cellular powerhouses packed with specialized cells that do more than just look pretty. To me, the most amazing thing about petals is their epidermal cells (portrayed in the video), which assemble together perfectly like tiles protecting the surface of the petal. These petal epidermal cells often contain pigments like anthocyanins, which give petals their vivid colors, but they also act like microscopic lenses, focusing sunlight into the petal tissue to enhance color vibrancy and attract pollinators.

This apple looks clean, but under the microscope? You’d be surprised at what’s hiding 👀 Dirt, wax, pesticides, and germs – all invisible to the naked eye. ⠀ That’s why rinsing under plain water isn’t enough! How to Wash Fruits Properly: ✅ Soak in water + baking soda (1 tsp in a big bowl) for 10–15 mins ✅ Or use 1 part vinegar + 3 parts water to soak ✅ Scrub with a soft brush or rub gently with your hands ✅ Rinse thoroughly with clean water This simple habit can reduce chemicals, remove wax coating, and keep your gut safe from hidden bacteria! 🦠 ✨ Eat clean. Stay safe. Wash smart. Subscribe ➡️ Under the Microscope 🔬
