I’m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. When we think of summer vacation homework, many of us probably picture illustrated diaries or independent research projects. This year, however, the school assigned something a little different. The task wasn’t simply to keep an illustrated diary about a morning glory. Students were also […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. In the world of physics, there is a rather strange but very real-sounding joke known as the “Pauli effect.” Theoretical physicist Wolfgang Pauli (1900–1958) was famously terrible around experiments. It is said that expensive equipment would break simply because he entered the laboratory, or […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a science trainer. Every day is an experiment. Do you know about the three primary colors of pigments? In junior high school, we mainly learn about the three primary colors of light (red, blue, and green), so you may not get many chances to encounter the three primary colors of pigments (magenta, […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. Did you know that the screen you’re looking at right now, both the white areas and the black ones, is actually made from combinations of just three colors of light? This time, I took a closer look at the secret of the “three primary […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. Imagine a marble rolling down a slope, tipping a seesaw, opening a door, and finally making a Poké Ball snap shut. If you could recreate this kind of chain reaction, straight out of a PythagoraSwitch contraption, in the world of Pokémon, there’s no way […]
