Most of the modern devices use sensors to monitor and control various physical quantities like pressure, temperatures, humidity, light intensity, direction, etc. One of such sensors, used to measure the acceleration of the devices, is called the...
Ammonia is a colorless gas that is produced from natural sources as well as industrial synthesis. About 175 million tons of ammonia is produced synthetically every year. More than 85% of produced ammonia is used as fertilizers and in household...
In physics, a force can be defined as a push or pull on any object that has mass. It changes the object’s motion. In other words, a force causes an object with mass to change its direction and velocity. Two great physicists Isaac Newton and...
Everything in the Universe — from Earth’s core to farthest galaxies — is made of atoms. It’s a fundamental unit of an element. So far, 118 elements have been identified (all are listed in the periodic table). The word...
Holograms are virtual 3D images generated by the interference of light beams that reflect off real, physical objects Holograms retain the depth, parallax, and other properties of the original object. They are excellently suitable for presenting...
In physics, energy can be defined as the capacity to do work. Just like there are many different ways of doing work, there are also different types of energy. Energy is a quantitative property. As per the law of conservation, energy can neither be...
The term ‘Potential Energy’ was coined by a Scottish mechanical engineer William Rankine in the 19tn century. It soon became one of the most influential variables in the formulas the describe our known universe. What Is Potential Energy...
String theory says that indivisible subatomic particles are made of tiny little strings vibrating in a specific pattern. Each vibrational pattern corresponds to a different particle. Electron is nothing but a string vibrating in one pattern, and a...
Using artificial intelligence, researchers found a powerful antibiotic named halicin. It kills harmful bacteria, including ones that are resistant to all existing antibiotics. It has a different chemical structure from all known antibiotics and...
Researchers discover a new type of antibiotics that kill bacteria by taking a unique approach. Usually, antibiotics such as penicillin prevent building of the bacterial wall around the outside of their cells. New antibiotics do the opposite: they...
Hawking radiation is thermal radiation spontaneously emitted by black holes, due to quantum effects near their event horizon. It gradually decreases the rotational energy and mass of black holes. However, it’s just a theory; no such radiation...
Researchers use Atom Probe Tomography to analyze lunar soil. The technique uses only a single grain of soil to identify helium, pure iron, water, and products of space weathering. This is the first time a sample extracted from the Moon has been...
