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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
In today’s digital age, video games are more than just a source of entertainment—they’ve become powerful economic engines. From blockbuster titles to mobile games, the world of gaming has transformed into a multibillion-dollar industry. But behind the flashy graphics and exciting gameplay lies a “hidden economy” that most players unknowingly fuel. In-game purchases, also known …
When we think of matter, the first things that come to mind are solids, liquids, and gases—the three familiar states we encounter daily. But there’s a lesser-known state that’s just as fascinating and far more prevalent in the universe: plasma, the fourth state of matter. From the sun’s blazing core to the glow of neon …
Have you ever wondered what lies beyond our atmosphere? Our planet is constantly bombarded by invisible particles from outer space, known as cosmic rays. These high-energy particles originate from the sun and distant galaxies, and while they might sound like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, cosmic rays have a significant impact on Earth. …
