A mouse was the first creature that was x-rayed in full 3D color. Initially, it was only possible to illuminate the borne and some other fleshy bits. However, professor Anthony and his farther professor Phil came up with the MARS spectral CT scanner which is fitted with effective particle-detecting technology. It is able to count photons in the body, which tracks their energy levels and also calculates the densities of tissues and bones. The father and son in collaboration with CERN spent many years trying to come up with techniques meant to sharpen the medical image.

In every minute dump truck made of plastics gets into the world oceans. This adds up to eight million metric tons annually. Once they get into the oceans, they are broken into smaller bits which are about 5 millimeters wide commonly referred to as microplastics. Some of these microplastics are said to sink into the ocean based on their densities while others are thought to be ingested by the marine life which includes the fish and the shellfish.

It takes years for evolution to occur. However, for those who easily fit in the environment, evolution is just a simple mechanism. For example, those who fit well in the environment are likely to give birth to more children while those who are not best suited in the environment do not give birth to many children. Thus, their genes normally filter out of the system. On the other hand, evolution has given rise to various organisms.
