Space travel has long been a fascinating subject, filled with dreams of exploration, but it also presents many challenges. One of the biggest hurdles in long-distance space journeys is food supply. Recent research suggests that asteroids may offer an unexpected solution—space travellers could use asteroids to create food! Imagine astronauts turning space rocks into biological …
Ever wondered what keeps you alive every single second of your life? It’s not just the food you eat or the air you breathe; it’s your blood, constantly circulating throughout your body. But there’s more to it than just pumping blood. The physics of blood circulation plays a critical role in making sure every cell …
Have you ever wondered how we could hear the rustle of leaves, the hum of a car engine, or our favourite songs? The journey of sound from the environment to our brains is a fascinating one, filled with incredible physics and biology. In this blog, we’ll explore “The Physics of Sound: How We Hear” and …
Imagine a world where genetic diseases could be cured with a simple tweak in your DNA. Or crops resistant to drought and pests could be developed rapidly to feed billions. These ideas aren’t just science fiction anymore—they’re becoming a reality thanks to CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) and gene editing technology. In this …
Have you ever wondered what makes up the very foundation of life? At the heart of every living organism, from the simplest bacteria to complex humans, lies a fascinating molecular system. This system is driven by two remarkable molecules: DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic Acid). These molecules serve as the foundation of life, playing …
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 …
