Science Media LibraryAn In-Depth Look at Backdraft: The Phenomenon of Air Pressure Differential
SciMate expresses its deepest condolences to the victims and all those affected by the fire incident at the brewery in the Ladprao area. A Silent Threat from Air Pressure: Why shouldn’t you immediately open the door during an enclosed space fire? When a fire occurs in a closed environment, internal oxygen levels drop while smoke and flammable gases accumulate, creating a Ventilation-Limited Fire condition. If a door or window is opened abruptly, outside oxygen rapidly rushes in, causing an explosive re-ignition known as a Backdraft. This phenomenon can violently blast out intense flames and extreme heat, posing a life-threatening hazard. Warning Signs to Watch For: Smoke escaping through door gaps and then being sucked back in Unusually dark and dense smoke Doors, door knobs, or window glass feeling extremely hot to the touch with thick black soot buildup Understanding the science behind fire behavior helps us better assess dangerous situations and make safer decisions.

Science Media LibraryAn In-Depth Look at “Living Fossils”: 7 Organisms That Survived Mass Extinctions
Throughout Earth’s history, multiple mass extinction events have occurred, leading to the disappearance of most species. However, certain groups of living organisms managed to adapt and survive severe natural crises for hundreds of millions of years, maintaining physical characteristics remarkably close to their prehistoric ancestors. These organisms are known as “Living Fossils”. Studying these species helps us understand the mechanisms of adaptation, genetics, and biological structures that allowed them to transcend time. We invite everyone to explore the evolutionary history and survival mechanisms of these 7 ancient organisms in this post. Explore the stories and details of all 7 species in the video clip!

Science Media LibraryAstrophysics 101: Exploring 3 Theories on the End of the Universe Predicted by Science
In addition to origin theories like the Big Bang or Steady State Theory, astrophysicists have also studied the “ultimate fate” of our vast cosmos, which can be summarized into 3 easy-to-understand core concepts: Big Freeze – The universe turns freezing cold, with temperatures dropping until everything comes to a standstill. Big Rip – The universe expands so violently that planets, stars, and even atoms are torn apart. Big Crunch – Gravity pulls the universe back together, causing it to collapse into a single point. What will the final fate of space look like? Scroll to read the easy-to-understand summary in the image!

Science Media LibraryThe Science of Wine: Unlocking the Chemistry in Your Wine Glass
Have you ever wondered… what kind of scientific processes are hidden behind that smooth, flavorful glass of wine we enjoy sipping? 🤔 Today, STLC is here to unlock the chemical secrets hidden inside your wine glass! 🔬 Chemical and Biochemical Transformations in Winemaking The heart of winemaking is “Fermentation,” where our main hero, “Yeast,” takes charge of converting the sugars in fruit into alcohol (ethanol), carbon dioxide gas, and energy. Generally, wine contains an alcohol content of about 7–24%. 🔸 Starch ➡️ (Enzymes) ➡️ Sugar 🔸 Sugar ➡️ (Yeast) ➡️ Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide + Energy 🌡️ Serving Temperature… A Small Detail You Shouldn’t Overlook A proper pour should fill about one-third of the glass (120–150 mL). Most importantly, wine should never be served at temperatures higher than 20–22°C because the heat will accelerate the evaporation of ethanol and aromatic compounds, causing the wine’s flavor and aroma to lose their balance. ⏳ Shelf Life After Opening Whether it is Red Wine or White Wine, once the bottle is opened, it should be consumed within 3–5 days while stored at the appropriate temperature for each type to preserve its optimal flavor. 🇹🇭 Did You Know? The First Wine in Thailand… …is…
Science Media LibraryA Dangerous Duo: Eating “Durian” Along With “Alcohol” or “Cola”
👑 Deliciously addictive, but could be fatal! Science solves the mystery: Why is it forbidden to eat “Durian” with “Alcohol and Cola”? 🚫🍺🥤 Have you ever wondered if the warning from elders about not eating durian with alcohol is real, or just a story to scare kids? The answer is “It’s real, and it is backed by scientific evidence!” 🔬✨ Durian is not just high in sugar and fat; it also contains “sulfur compounds” that disrupt liver functions, making the body unable to clear toxins from alcohol! Additionally, if eaten alongside a cola soft drink, prepare to deal with a “sugar explosion” and a stomach full of gas. 💥 How can you eat it safely? Keeping your liver safe and your stomach free from bloating? STLC Science Mate has summarized the core, easy-to-understand points for you in this infographic. Save it to take a look! ✅ If you’re interested in researching more science and health information, feel free to use our services at the Dr. Tua Lapanukrom Science Library (Tel. 02-201-7250).
