But that moment of “magic” can turn into a “nightmare” in an instant. This usually happens because of a simple preparation slip-up, […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment! Every time you look in the mirror, you see yourself reflected. But have you ever paused to wonder, “Exactly where is the ‘me’ in the mirror?” In science class, we learn the rule: “The distance from the mirror to the object is equal to the […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a science trainer. Every day is an experiment. You can charge your smartphone just by placing it on a charging pad. You can pass through a ticket gate simply by tapping an IC card. Isn’t that amazing? All of these rely on technology that transmits electricity or information without a physical cord. […]
