Xenobots 2.0: A new generation of living robots
Wasim Raza From clumps of stem cells derived from the African clawed frog, these tiny living machines can be described as somewhere between a living organism and a robot. Last year, researchers at Tufts University and the University of Vermont (UVM) created self-healing frog cells that moved around, pushed a payload, and even behaved collectively […]
DNA Jump Between Species – how detrimental or beneficial?
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), also called lateral gene transfer benefits and it is being detrimental has been the subject of study for research. One theory that goes widely acceptable is that the rate of HGT was very high in the early stages of the prokaryotic evolution, the phenomenon known as Darwinian Threshold. Traditionally, genetics is […]
Mind-Writing: Brain-to-text communication via handwriting
Introduction Advancements in Artificial Intelligence made everything possible nowadays. The art of handwriting has gone through several advancements from ancient times to the modern age. This art is considered a great contributor in pushing the brain-computer interface field to the next level. Researchers have achieved a milestone in devising a system through which a person […]
Uncover molecular growth pathways- Hydro-Carbon Chemistry of Universe
Gaurav Kumar Several organic chemists and astrophysicists have been involved in researching the origin of the benzene ring (C6H6), an effective, hexagonal molecule including a total of six carbon along with six hydrogen atoms bonded together. It’s been more than 50 years of research on this specific topic. According to astrophysicists, the formation of polycyclic […]
Flash Ultra-high-dose Rate Radiation Therapy For Cancer
Radiotherapy is a foundation of both therapeutic and palliative cancer care. In any case, radiotherapy is seriously restricted by radiation-induced toxicities. In the event that these toxicities could be reduced, more doses of radiation could be given consequently encouraging a better tumor reaction. Initial pre-clinical examinations have shown that irradiation at dose rates far surpassing […]
Technologies that Could Enable Human Expeditions
Einstein’s General Relativity theory field equation state that faster-than-light (FTL) travel is feasible, so a small bunch of scientists is attempting to see whether a Star Trek-style warp drive or maybe a sort of artificial wormhole, could be made through our technology. However, regardless of if shown possible tomorrow, it’s feasible that plans for an […]
Graphene as Carbon-based Overcoats
Gaurav Kumar Introduction There is a rapid increase in the generation of daily data in our modern technological age where data is considered everything. In 2016, the annual data generation was about 16 ZB/year and in 2025, it is expected to be as much as 163 ZB/year. There are lots of devices that are being […]
Full-loop Stern-Gerlach Interferometer
Gaurav Kumar Introduction The Stern-Gerlach effect can be defined as quantization of the special orientation of an angular momentum. It was discovered a century ago. Otto Stern gave the concept of the experiment in 1921 while Walther Gerlach conducted the experiment over his concepts and successfully discovered the Stern-Gerlach effect in the year 1922. The […]
Crystal Structures
In crystallography and mineralogy, a crystal structure is known as a special arrangement of atoms in a crystal. A crystal structure is made out of a motif, a lattice, and a set of atoms arranged uniquely. Motifs are found upon the points of a lattice, which is a set of points recounting occasionally in three […]
‘Wandering Meatloaf’- A weird creature with Rare Iron Mineral in its teeth
Wasim Raza A new study shows a bizarre mollusk dubbed “wandering meatloaf” has teeth made of a rare iron mineral found only along the rocky coastline, according to the researchers. The giant Gumboot Chiton, also known as the Wandering Meatloaf, is the largest known species of chiton, a species of marine mollusk with an oval-shaped, […]
