But everyone has had that disappointing experience: you put an opened bottle back in the fridge, take a sip the next day, and think, “…Ugh. It’s […]

I’m Kuwako Ken, your Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. “Why is the sky blue during the day and red in the evening?” This is a beautiful mystery of nature, often discussed in science classes. The answer lies in a phenomenon called “light scattering.” Sunlight is actually a mixture of various colors (wavelengths) of […]
