Better unemployment welfare could curb rise of populism

The study, by researchers Chase Foster (King's College London) and Jeffry Frieden (Columbia University), analyzed 134 national elections in 16 countries between 1990 and 2021, alongside data from 11 waves of the European Social Survey. The research is published in the journal Eur

Why nanoscale droplets don't coalesce and microscale droplets do

Olive oil and water do not naturally mix. Water molecules are polar, having a net electric dipole moment due to the bend angle of about 104.5° between the two oxygen-hydrogen bonds. Olive oil is nonpolar due to its long hydrocarbon chains, which makes it hydrophobic and insoluble
