Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV): A Common Respiratory Virus with Post-Lockdown Surge
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV), first isolated in 2001, is a common respiratory virus related to RSV, causing mostly mild illness but occasionally severe bronchitis in toddlers; post-COVID lockdowns saw surges in severe cases due to a lack of prior exposure.

Cherenkov Radiation: Faster-Than-Light Particle Emission in Media
Cherenkov radiation, a blue glow observed around nuclear reactors, occurs when a charged particle moves through a medium faster than light's speed in that medium, forming a cone-shaped wavefront. The angle of this cone reveals the particle's speed, enabling detection in various fields.
