Imagine looking up at the night sky and trying to gaze at distant stars, only to find your view obstructed not by clouds but by invisible interference. That interference is electromagnetic radiation (EMR), and it’s a growing problem for ground-based astronomy. With the increase in man-made devices emitting EMR and satellites reflecting signals back to …
As space exploration continues to progress at an astonishing pace, we are constantly amazed by the technological advancements and scientific breakthroughs that expand our knowledge of the universe. But with this progress comes a pressing need: global cooperation to regulate space for both technology and science. As more countries and private companies launch satellites, develop …
When we think of planetary rings, Saturn’s dazzling and expansive ring system often comes to mind. But did you know that Earth might have once sported its own ring composed of asteroid debris? This new theory not only sparks curiosity about our planet’s ancient past but also opens a fascinating discussion on how an asteroid …
Have you ever stopped to think about the simple yet extraordinary process that allows you to see the world around you? From the moment light enters your eyes to the instant your brain interprets it, vision is a remarkable interplay of biology and physics. In this blog, we will explore the physics of vision and …
In the quiet reaches of space, radio astronomers are tirelessly listening to signals that help us understand the universe. They study everything from distant stars to the mysterious echoes of the Big Bang. But today, this silent work is being disturbed by a new kind of interference. The rise of satellite constellations, such as Elon …
Our brains are like a vast control centre, processing information, regulating emotions, and even directing our physical movements. But have you ever wondered how all this happens? The answer lies in the chemistry of neurotransmitters—tiny molecules that act as messengers between the brain’s nerve cells or neurons. In this blog, we’ll explore how neurotransmitters function, …
Have you ever wondered what happens to the human body in space? Beyond the excitement of floating around in microgravity, profound changes occur in our physiology when we leave Earth’s atmosphere. The topic, “The Impact of Microgravity on Human Physiology,” sheds light on the fascinating ways our bodies adapt—or struggle—to adjust to the unique conditions …
Enzymes are the unsung heroes of our bodies, constantly working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. From digesting food to powering cellular functions, these tiny proteins speed up chemical reactions, allowing life as we know it to exist. In this article, we’ll dive into the intriguing world of enzyme chemistry and how these …
Imagine if your genes were like the keys on a piano. Each key holds a unique note (or instruction), but how the music is played—the tempo, dynamics, or whether a note is struck at all—depends on the pianist. In the world of biology, epigenetics is the “pianist” that controls how your genes are expressed. It’s …
Ever wondered how we got here, walking upright, thinking deeply, and communicating in complex languages? The story of human evolution is nothing short of a scientific adventure filled with twists, turns, and discoveries that have shaped who we are today. In this blog, we’ll dive into “The Science of Human Evolution: From Hominids to Homo …
