Scientist classifies unique chemicals in tire marks to help with forensic investigations
Wasim Raza It is common to analyze skid marks left by cars, but they cannot be used to identify a specific vehicle since they only leave impression patterns. In 1997, the National Center for Forensic Science, founded at UCF 1997, established a lab for forensics, led by Chemistry Associate Professor Matthieu Baudelet. They may have […]
Researchers Harvest the Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Using Spin-Torque Oscillators– A Harbinger Experiment!!
Lalit Koundaal In this digital age, along with bed tea, we need WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) too at a lightning speed. This age has transformed the way we communicate by using the 2.4GHz radio frequency that WiFi uses to transmit information wirelessly among devices. The researchers were continuously pondering on making use of excess signals available […]
Linking Information with Aboriginal Memory Technique
Gaurav Kumar Introduction Linking information to some particular elements is a kind of recall technique that can be implemented for memorizing several items in a given sequence of order. It is popularly known as the linking technique as it involves the association or linking of the given sequence of ordered items altogether for recalling them […]
Computer-guided Retrosynthesis
Gaurav Kumar Introduction Computer-aided retrosynthesis is a milestone achievement in the career of chemists that unlock several gateways for implementing machine learning techniques for guiding molecules of any compound. Deep Blue technology developed by IBM defeated Garry Kasparov, world champion in chess in the year 1997. This opened the mind for several chemists to apply […]
Response of Water Molecule in an Electric Field
Gaurav Kumar Water is a very strange, weird, and extraordinary molecule, but still, it is very important for each and every living being and also non-living like soil and many others. The fact is that it is the most abnormal molecule found on the surface of the earth as well as below the earth’s surface. […]
A 50-year-old hypothesis has Resulted in the world’s smallest and best Acoustic Amplifier
Sandia National Laboratories scientists have created the world’s smallest and most powerful acoustic amplifier. And they accomplished it with an idea that had been largely forgotten for nearly 50 years. The device seems to be more than 10 times more effective than previous iterations, according to research published in Nature Communications on May 13. For […]
The amazing toughness of Hexagonal Boron Nitride uncovered
The chemical formula h-BN stands for hexagonal boron nitride, a chemically and thermally resistant refractory compound of boron and nitrogen. It appears in a variety of crystalline forms that are isoelectronic to a carbon lattice with a comparable structure. Among the BN polymorphs, the hexagonal form equivalent to graphite is the most solid and soft […]
Modern Integrated Air Defense System
A modern integrated air defense system is very advanced as compared to surface-to-air missiles or their radar system and command vehicle. It consists of a lot of complex features like weapons, equipment, procedures, personnel, and structure that can be integrated to combat enemy airborne attacks very efficiently. Modern integrated air defense system uses various channels […]
Oxitec’s genetically Modified Mosquitoes
Gaurav Kumar The firm Oxitec has announced to release more than 20 million mosquitoes that are genetically modified in Florida Key. This method was never used before in the U.S. before, hence it is the first trial by Oxitec in America. The main objective of this project is to reduce the population of a community […]
Thermoelectric Material discovery promises more efficient Electric Power Generation
Around 60% of energy is lost in energy production in power stations as heat. The problem with that is most of the power plant’s fuel is burnt to produce heat, then converted to mechanical energy, and then to electrical energy, which goes through. This is an intrinsic process. What if this loss of energy could […]
