Understanding Zinc's Role in Your Health

Invention on Instagram: "In 2013, IBM scientists created A Boy and His Atom, the world’s smallest movie, by moving individual carbon monoxide molecules one at a time. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, which can magnify surfaces over 100 million times, they positioned 65 atoms to form shapes and patterns that came together as frames of a stop motion film. Each frame measured just 45 by 25 nanometers, so small that 1,000 frames could fit inside a single grain of salt. The achievement was reco

Invention on Instagram: "The zinc spark is a remarkable phenomenon that occurs at the moment of human fertilization. When a sperm successfully enters an egg, the egg releases billions of zinc ions in a sudden burst. These ions bind with small molecules, creating a flash of light visible under a microscope. This luminous event marks the precise instant that a new life begins to form. Scientists first observed the zinc spark in mouse eggs and later confirmed its presence in human eggs. The discove
