India in ancient times wasn’t just the land of snake charmers. The country had a distinctive taste for science and technology which is clearly visible in ancient architecture and texts. India was the homeland to some of the greatest scientists in the world whose works paved the way for modern
Zebra stripes have been baffling scientists for centuries. No one had ever been able to figure out the real reason Zebra had stripes. A new finding by researchers at the University of Bristol and UC Davis, California, may have an answer to put an end to the mystery.
Having an ‘Iron-man’ Flying Suit is a dream of every person. Most people find science fiction heroes very fascinating. But can you imagine such comic stories and flying heroes coming to the real world?
AWS SDK maintains and publishes SDK for over 110+ services with simultaneous and multiple updates on all SDKs each day. They have achieved what all big companies strive for, launching new APIs seamlessly and effortlessly. During AWS’s flagship conference Re:Invent, the SDKs are updated with new APIs that were just announced in less than 2 hours for the world to use.

Agriculture and the way we grow food hasn’t changed for thousands of years but that is going to change. With the advent of Vertical Farming and Aeroponics, startups are growing fresh, organic crops without soil or even sunlight.
Mortality plays an important role in biological life. Every animal that is born goes through the cycle of life, reproduction, and death. But, some of them live longer than others, given the right environment. Let’s take a look at some of the longest living animals on Earth. African Elephant [70
Elon Musk’s Starlink is working on building a network of 12000 satellites to provide free, high-speed global internet access by the 2020s. The project is expected to cost around $10 billion. SpaceX’s planned satellite fleet would be nearly three times larger than the number of satellites already orbiting Earth. So
Thomas Alva Edison & Nikola Tesla were the two great scientists who developed many devices that have greatly influenced life around the world. But these two great men were never at ease with each other. Edison and Tesla were termed as the biggest rivals with the tales of their bitterness
Xiaomi’s today released a concept video on popular Chinese video site “weibo“. This is not the first time a foldable concept phone video has been released. We have shared Nokia’s beautiful concept phone video before on our post “What is Creativity”. The video’s has a description in chinese which is
Much fuss has been created about the “God Particle”, the curiosity about knowing from where all the things in this universe came. Scientists were so curious about finding the particle that they even created an artificial black hole at a large hadron collider to find the Higgs Boson. Why is
It is exactly what we were waiting for, to help the blind see this colorful world. It is a major breakthrough in the field of medical science. Scientists have first time ever succeeded in implanting a prototype bionic eye through surgery which has helped a blind woman see shapes. Researchers
For the very first time, scientists have succeeded in calculating simple math problem of dividing a number into its prime factors by a functional solid-state quantum computer. This accomplishment may not be much big as it was only number 15 that was split into prime factors but it is definitely a
NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover cleared the Martian skies and landed on a giant mould of layered rock inside an ancient crater at 1:32 AM EDT. The rover landed on the surface within seven minutes upon entering the atmosphere of Mars. These seven minutes were the most terrifying for NASA. John Holdren,
Meanwhile when US is waiting for its Mars Curiosity Rover to land on Mars on 5th August, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has confirmed that it plans to send an orbiter to Mars in 2013. It would be another step forward for Indian space programs which have made giant leaps during the recent years
Plants are the basic and most important part of our ecosystem. They not only make the earth a beautiful place but also convert carbon dioxide to oxygen which is essential for the survival of all human beings and animals by a process called photosynthesis. Panasonic has been trying to replicate
Song Ho-Jun, a South Korean artist has been working for years on his very own DIY sputnik, a homemade satellite cobbled together from electronics store parts. It is supposed to be the first satellite ever completely built by an individual. It is expected to launch this year. Song Ho-Jun was
Indian scientists are working on an ambitious and unprecedented project to build computer models to remain one step ahead of monsoon. These supercomputers will predict the movements of erratic monsoons weeks before. This would be a great help to Indian economy and to hundreds of millions of people directly dependent on Agriculture
Researchers from Stanford University have finally created the world’s first complete computer model of an organism. After useing research from 900 publications and accounting over 1900 parameters, they finally successfully simulated the human pathogen, Mycoplasma genitalium. It is usually find in respiratory and urinary tracts of human beings and has the
Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) are very efficient and are popular in cities but these are toxic. That’s why government is promoting LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights. These are not only safe to dispose as they don’t contain mercury, then are even more efficient than CFLs. But LEDs are not as popular
A Russian media mogul, Dmitry Itskov announced formally about his intentions to disembody our conscious minds and upload them to a hologram, an avatar, by 2045. In simpler words, he plans to achieve immortality by removing human brain from the physical constraints of the biological human body. In a letter to the members
A group of students from SRM University won second prize in a competition held last month. They successfully launched CanSat, a model satellite to read atmospheric conditions. The American Astronautical Society (AAS) and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) organized the competition called Planetary Atmospheric Entry Vehicle at Texas. It
Recently the scientists have discovered that there could be much more water on Mars (or at least some parts of Mars) than we had thought earlier. Scientists examined the water content in meteorites from Mars with new technology, and it points to a lot of it in the Martian mantle. The
A Japanese inventor known as “Watanabe” has come up with a special pot that creates a whirlpool in the pan or heating pot and mixes the food thoroughly while it is being cooked. The pot would be amazing for cooking dishes like soups and curries which require continuous stirring to prevent clogs
NASA may not be sending astronauts on Mars but this does not mean that space exploration has stopped. NASA would still be unfolding the mysteries of the universe with its “Curiosity Rover”. The rover is expected to land on Mars on August 5th to search for traces of life on the
