As a fan of the Harry Potter movie, the best depiction of the Phoenix bird I can make in my mind is that of Dumbledore’s Fawkes. The majestic red and golden creature, among other things, can carry objects far heavier than its body weight, and...
The terms Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) have become very common these days. They are often used interchangeably, especially while dealing with Big Data, analytics, and searching and indexing. Although...
The term ‘firewall’ was applied to the network technology in the 1980s, when the Internet was fairly new in terms of its connectivity and worldwide use. Before firewalls, ACLs (short for access control lists) were used for network...
Bosque language aims to improve software quality and enhance programmers’ productivity. It gets rid of sources of complexity like mutable state, reference equality, and loops. It is inspired by TypeScript and JavaScript programming languages...
Do you believe in the existence of extraterrestrial beings? If you do, then you must be intrigued about their whereabouts and why we haven’t heard for them yet? It’s not just you, the question has troubled scientists and astrophysicists...
Researchers achieve detailed high-speed imaging of the microparticle impact process. The study revealed that both the surface and the particle melt to some extent at high impact velocities. The combination of high temperatures, pressures, and...
The new method can use any pliable molecule to write, store, and read data. It is cheaper and less labor-intensive as compared to DNA-based methods. The ‘reading’ averages 20 bits/second while ‘writing’ averages 8...
Different types of sensory instruments are used to determine the location and orientation of an object. The two most common of these instruments are the accelerometer and the gyroscope. When integrated into a signal device, they produce incredibly...
According to the current planetary theory, the moon was created about 4.5 billion years ago after a massive collision between earth and a wandering celestial body, with a mass slightly less than that of Mars. The impact caused a chunk of debris to...
As per the latest measurement, our galaxy weighs in at approximately 1.5 trillion solar masses. This means the Milky Way has a mass of 2.98 x 1042 kilograms. Astronomers used ESA’s Gaia and NASA’s Hubble observations to obtain this...
Today, no matter where you are, you can access a plethora of space images right at your desktop and smartphone. Those colorful images of gigantic galaxies, nebulas, and mesmerizing gas clouds never fail to dazzle us. But does space really look like...
Researchers revisit the concept of a space elevator with a minor modification. Instead of anchoring the cable on Earth, anchor it on the moon and dangle it toward Earth. This would make lunar and terrestrial gravitational pull cancel each other...
