We can sense the pressure from a tap on the shoulder or a pat on the back because we have mechanoreceptors that undergo conformational changes when we experience touch. They allow us to register and ...

If \(f(x) = x^2\), then \(af(x) = a(x^2)\). This tells us that we need to multiply each of the \(y\) coordinates on the graph by \(a\) in order to stretch the original graph. Looking at some ...

A team of researchers from the University of Canberra and the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) is investigating whether wearing compression clothing can increase the brain function of athletes. It ...
