American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Director Kin Moy on April 12 welcomed Taiwanese students to study in the US. The AIT Web site now provides information on the application process for a student visa in both Chinese and English. In addition to that, the AIT has also set up a Web site with more information on studying in the US. Furthermore, the AIT is now offering free consultations for anyone who has questions about studying in the US.
According to Moy, graduates of US universities have gone on to become leaders and innovators in many fields around the world, and students studying in the US will be joining a group of outstanding young people. This chance to experience the dynamism, openness and quality of American campuses will be a life-chenging experience for students, says Moy.
Moy also points out that over one million international students are now in US higher education institutions, maintaining the US’ long-standing position as the world’s top host nation for international students. The US is also a top choice for Taiwanese students, with more than 21,000 Taiwanese students studying in the US last year, says Moy.

An automated human washing machine was one of the highlights at the Osaka Kansai Expo, giving visitors a glimpse into the future of personal hygiene technology. As part of the event, 1,000 randomly selected visitors were given the chance to try out this cleansing system. The machine operates as a capsule-like chamber where warm water filled with microscopic bubbles gently washes away dirt. The 15-minute process also includes a drying phase, removing the need for users to dry themselves manually. Equipped with advanced sensors, the device monitors the user’s biological data, such as their pulse, to adjust water temperature and other settings
Britain’s National Gallery announced on Sept. 9 that it will use a whopping ￡375m (US$510m) in donations to open a new wing that, for the first time, will include modern art.

That will change when the gallery opens a new wing to be constructed on land beside its Trafalgar Square site that is currently
Firefighters might face an increased risk of developing “glioma,” a type of brain cancer, due to certain chemicals encountered on the job. A recent study analyzed glioma cases and found clear connections between the genetic patterns of affected firefighters and their exposure to these harmful substances. The study found that firefighters exhibited significantly higher levels of specific mutational signatures in their glioma cells compared to individuals in other occupations. These signatures — unique patterns of genetic changes in DNA — help scientists trace the source of mutations. Earlier research has associated these mutations with certain chemicals found in fire
