What Is TPMS & How Does Tire Pressure Work?
Imagine driving on a serene road with the wind brushing against your car. Your favorite tunes are playing, and suddenly, you feel an odd drag or tug—alert pings on your dashboard. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) light is on! But how does tire pressure work, and why must your car have a dedicated system to monitor it?
Since vehicles have been rolling on rubber, tire pressure has been pivotal to having a smooth and safe journey. In the early days of automotive invention, the significance of tire pressure wasn’t …
CBD Molecular Structure 101
Understanding the science behind CBD would better inform you of its potential health benefits. But before we dive into the details, let’s start with the basics. CBD stands for cannabidiol, one of over 100 compounds in the cannabis plant.
Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, so it won’t make you feel “high” or intoxicated. Although CBD and THC share a similar molecular structure, their atoms are arranged differently. And this subtle difference is why they have very different effects. We have much to cover but don’t worry; we&#…
5 Vaping Facts You Must Know
Vaping has become popular in recent years. Even smokers transition to vaping since they assume it is more advantageous than smoking cigarettes.

Connection Forest Science and Artificial Intelligence
Dealing with the felling of trees, F.M. Anim Hossain and his colleagues worked on cutting timber and other forest products and raising trees and their management. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the primary timber resource was in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
The Canadian Forest Service, Natural Resources Canada, works hard to ensure a healthy and productive forest sector, in order to enhance the competitiveness in the forest products market.

The Connection Between Science and Lumber Products in Canada
Relationship between climate change and lumber products
There is a close relationship between climate change and lumber products. As temperatures rise and weather patterns become more extreme, the lumber industry will be increasingly challenged to produce the same quality and quantity of products.
Higher temperatures and decreased rainfall will cause trees to grow more slowly, meaning that lumber companies will need to use more expensive and time-consuming production methods. In addition, extreme weather conditions can also damage trees, leading…
Visualizing Science with Microscopy
A microscope is a tool to magnify objects or images so they can be studied in detail. There are many microscopes, each with its strengths and weaknesses, but all microscopes use a lens to enlarge an object or image. Some ordinary microscopes include the light microscope, the electron microscope, and the scanning tunnelling microscope.
Inspiration for microscopy work
Different scientists have different sources of inspiration for their microscopy work. However, some possible sources of inspiration for microscopy work could include other …
The Reaction of the Scientists to Sustainability Challenges in Canada
The International Advisory Board members of the Canadian Journal of Chemistry were asked to list and emphasize the ways in which the field of chemistry is able to help the country rise to the different sustainability challenges.
Maintaining good health
The study of human health and well-being is a complex and interdisciplinary field. Health science includes the fields of medicine, psychology, nutrition, and exercise science. Health science research is conducted to improve our understanding of how the human body works and how to maintain good …
Southern Alberta’s Big Cats
The big cats of southern Alberta include lions, tigers, leopards, and cougars. These large felines are native to the region and can be found roaming around in the wild.
