JavaScript is a dynamic programming language developed by Brendan Eich while working for Netscape Communications Corporation. It is generally used as a common script web browser and supports imperative, functional and object-oriented coding styles...
Albert Einstein started his journey from Ulm, a city in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany on March 14, 1879. He started showing signs of brilliance from a young age. During his entire scientific career, Einstein produced an astonishing number...
Computers perform an extremely wide range of tasks by following generalized sets of operations, called programs. They are used as control systems for various consumers and industrial devices, including smartphones and factory devices such as...
The word ‘scientist’ was coined by a philosopher and theologian William Whewell in 1833. It describes someone who carries out scientific research to advance knowledge in a particular field. Today, most scientists have advanced degrees in...
Astronomers discover a massive planet orbiting a small star. The mass of the planet is way more than what current theoretical models predict. It lies 30 light-years away from Earth and has a mass nearly half as big as Jupiter. Like our solar...
A new observational study suggests that the more you gain extra-weight, the higher the chances of developing depression. The body part(s) where the fat is accumulated makes no difference to the probability of developing depression. According to the...
The new engineered graphene form can revolutionize space telescope technology. It could enable accurate imaging of large regions of nearby galaxies and star-forming clouds, in shorter times. Compared to conventional superconductors used in...
Researchers test the quantum superposition principle at a massive scale like never before. They illustrated the delocalization of the massive molecules containing 40,000 neutrons, electrons, and protons. Up to 2,000 atoms remained in two places at...
New lithium-carbon dioxide batteries can be fully charged/recharged up to 500 consecutive charge/discharge cycles. The battery is made by integrating a unique combination of materials. Lithium-ion batteries are used in almost all consumer...
As the name suggests, emerging technologies are the ones whose development and practical applications are widely unrealized. They represent progressive development in various fields, ranging from robotics and artificial intelligence to cognitive...
The new simulation shows how gravity distorts light around the black hole. This is the most accurate computer-generation visualization of a black hole to date. It clearly shows all crucial components of a black hole, including accretion disk and...
