According to the ICT global emission report, the carbon emission from smartphones has tripled in last 10 years. iPhone 6s generated 57 percent more carbon dioxide than iPhone 4s. By 2020, smartphones alone will be responsible for 45 percent of total ICT emission. Over the last couple of decades, ICT (information and communication technology) devices ...

Since the beginning of the space exploration, we have achieved a great many things. We have successfully launched people on the moon, landed rovers on Mars and even on Titan, one of the natural satellites of Saturn. Today, we have man-made satellites all over the solar system, but have you ever wondered when will be ...

What happens when you die? It’s a question that you probably have pondered several times over in the past. There are few things in life that no one can prevent and death is surely one of them. According to scientists, death is a process just like life. As soon as the heart and lungs stop ...

An intelligence agency essentially works like a nervous system in any nation’s defense setup, which is responsible for feeding vital information to law enforcement agencies and armed forces about possible threats to the national security. They collect, analyze and exploit secretive information that are not available to common people to their own advantage. These agencies ...

Could Aliens 65 million light years away possibly see dinosaurs on the Earth? Well, theoretically yes. The last known species of dinosaur became extinct approximately 65 million years ago. So the light that left the earth back then is now 65 million light years away. With directing a huge telescope at the right direction (towards the Earth) aliens might ...

There is a popular saying that the World is small. But, it’s actually big, really big. With roughly 196 countries (UN recognized), countless cities, and their constantly shifting borders, keeping up on your geography can be difficult. But, sometimes it just crosses the line from an honest mistake to hilarious ignorance. Here is a list comprising silly ...

In humans, most mammals and even birds, sleep occur in repetitive cycles, in which the body fluctuates between two different phases; REM sleep and non-REM sleep. REM sleep or Rapid eye movement sleep, as indicated, is a distinctive sleep phase which is characterized by rapid movement of the eyes, minimum muscle tone (residual muscle tension) and tendency ...

For all the reader out there, the global warming is real. And if you are a non-believer or know someone who doesn’t believe in this, the best we can do is provide you with important facts. First of all, we need to clarify the difference between weather and climate.

A library is simply a collection of resources and valuable information, kept together in a physical or virtual space which can either be accessed by the general public or a specific group of people. One of the oldest and most historic ...

Scientists have created super-strong aluminum alloy by introducing faults into its crystalline structure. It would have a wide range of applications including corrosion resistant coating for vehicles and electronic instruments.  The study helps us better understand the deformation mechanism in metals with high stacking fault energies.  Most of the aluminum alloys are soft, lightweight and ...
