| Posted: 01 Jun 2022 05:39 PM PDT You'd just have to build a detector sensitive to the specific molecule or group of molecules that cause the smell, right? And while we are at it, can't we have a bomb-sniffing and drug-sniffing machine, the same way dogs do? Or is there something about dog morphology that allows them to detect these smells better than any machine we can currently make? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jun 2022 12:02 PM PDT For example, 1 2 3 4 5 6 exhibits a pattern. Each element is the previous plus one. But what if say, you know beforehand, the elements of a sequence are between 0 - 6 like in a dice. You're trying to figure out if a certain sampling method is random. Say you get 0 3 2 1 2 2 1 3 1 2 2 1 3 2 1 1 2 3 1. The sequence itself doesn't seem to exhibit a pattern yet they all share the same property of being within the set {1,2,3} and excluding the set {4,5,6} Randomness is often defined as the lack of a pattern. This sequence by the face of it doesn't seem to have a pattern yet we know it's not coming from a uniform random distribution from 1-6 given 4 5 and 6 aren't selected. How do you explain this?

| Posted: 01 Jun 2022 04:06 PM PDT Exactly as the post says. I'm curious on how vitamins are made both from the natural and organic side to the synthetic. How does it get from something like an açaí berry to vitamin B12. Or how is an orange turned into vitamin c? Thanks for all the help! [link] [comments] |
| Why aren't the *sub*species of brassica rapa just considered different *species*? Posted: 01 Jun 2022 06:05 AM PDT I guess the question is, what's the difference between subspecies and species, at least in the plant world? Is there even a clear distinction? [link] [comments] |

| Can the concepts of right and left be objectively explained using magnetic fields? Posted: 02 Jun 2022 04:16 AM PDT If you run a current through a wire, you create a magnetic field, and that magnetic field has a direction relative to the flow of the current. So if you were to explain to the aliens with no concept of left and right, you could tell them to set up an experiment where they connect a battery to a wire with the negative pole in a specified direction and the positive pole in the other. Then all you need to do is state that when viewing the wire from a perspective relative to the flow of the electrons, you observe the direction of rotation of the magnetic field, and at the "up" position (opposite the direction of gravity) is either right or left depending on the perspective relative to electron flow? Or am I missing something? [link] [comments] |

| Ask Anything Wednesday - Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science Posted: 01 Jun 2022 07:00 AM PDT Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science Do you have a question within these topics you weren't sure was worth submitting? Is something a bit too speculative for a typical /r/AskScience post? No question is too big or small for AAW. In this thread you can ask any science-related question! Things like: "What would happen if...", "How will the future...", "If all the rules for 'X' were different...", "Why does my...". Asking Questions: Please post your question as a top-level response to this, and our team of panellists will be here to answer and discuss your questions. The other topic areas will appear in future Ask Anything Wednesdays, so if you have other questions not covered by this weeks theme please either hold on to it until those topics come around, or go and post over in our sister subreddit /r/AskScienceDiscussion , where every day is Ask Anything Wednesday! Off-theme questions in this post will be removed to try and keep the thread a manageable size for both our readers and panellists. Answering Questions: Please only answer a posted question if you are an expert in the field. The full guidelines for posting responses in AskScience can be found here. In short, this is a moderated subreddit, and responses which do not meet our quality guidelines will be removed. Remember, peer reviewed sources are always appreciated, and anecdotes are absolutely not appropriate. In general if your answer begins with 'I think', or 'I've heard', then it's not suitable for /r/AskScience. If you would like to become a member of the AskScience panel, please refer to the information provided here. Past AskAnythingWednesday posts can be found here. Ask away! [link] [comments] |
| Can we predict when a gene will be expressed? Posted: 01 Jun 2022 03:53 PM PDT Genetic modification in the 20th century was a bit of a crapshoot -- literally. You'd put a bunch of DNA on some pellets and shoot them into a plant with an air gun, it's honestly so hilariously basic, it's surprising that it works. That, and Sanford is just a crazy person now. But that's another story. But the genes get inserted pretty randomly, which is weird to me. Do we just practically test the organisms afterwards to see which ones got the insertion right? Or can we predict when or how often a gene will be expressed from its contents and location in the genome? Or do we not know this yet? [link] [comments] |

| are the effects of faraday cages made of multiple materials aditional to each other? Posted: 01 Jun 2022 07:11 AM PDT Language isn't my strong suit so let me explain my question. If I was to make a faraday cage to protect a peice of equipment but I was trying to do so cheaply and get the most EMP protection possible could I use a metal mesh, then an insulating layer, then a foil layer, then more insulation? And would the mesh add to the protection? Or is the amount of protection limited by the most effective layer and all additional layers effectively do nothing. Bonus question: under what circumstances would I have to ground the faraday cage to properly EMP protect the equipment? [link] [comments] |
| why are the ice giants furthest away? Posted: 01 Jun 2022 03:29 AM PDT I was taught that when the solar system was forming, the sun pulled in the planets that were heavier, so rocky planets are closest to the sun. Thats why lighter planets (gas giants) are further away. But what about the ice planets? are they lighter than the gas giants? were they once in a gaseous state? whats the deal with Pluto in all this? [link] [comments] |
| Why is Fluorocarbon hydrophobic? Posted: 01 Jun 2022 12:37 PM PDT If I understand it right, hydrocarbons are hydrophobic because of the non-polar interactions. But what makes Fluorocarbons MORE hydrophobic? Fluor-carbon interaction are very polar aren't they? so wouldn't that make them soluble in water? [link] [comments] |

| How does Zeki (2003) relate to the unfolding argument? Posted: 01 Jun 2022 06:17 AM PDT Doerig and colleagues (2021) present four proposed criteria for a theory of consciousness in the article "Hard Criteria for Empirical Theories of Consciousness". One of these is the unfolding argument. Can't seem to find any literature on how Zekis´ theory of the disunity of consciousness relates to this argument. He provides no function for consciousness, is he therefore subject to the unfolding argument, and could be considered a casual structure theory such as Lammes´ recurrent processing theory (2006) and Tononis´ information integration theory (2004)?

| How is melatonin for supplements made? Posted: 31 May 2022 10:04 PM PDT I know melatonin is naturally produced in the pineal gland, but how is melatonin made for gummies or supplements? Is a pure melatonin liquid made and then mixed with the gummies? How is it made, I cannot find it anywhere only a breakdown of the natural biological process [link] [comments] |
