News Technology Using Origami Principles to Design Robots Researchers have been able to design soft robots by studying and mimicking the movement of living organisms existing in our environment. For instance, the movement of a caterpillar can be mimicked to design a robot that uses cycles of pressurization and depressurization to make it crawl. However, this time the design of soft robots is […] Written by Aliza Khan 2019-09-272021-09-07 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Engineering News Physical Sciences Technology Particle Image Velocimetry Ever wondered how engineers design aircraft, boats, submarines, rockets, jet engines, wind turbines or artificial hearts? These devices, though differing greatly in function, involve a fluid — air in aircraft, water in boats and blood in hearts. Thus, in order to properly design these devices, there is a need to analyze the motion of fluid […] Written by Muhammad Ali Qureshi 2019-09-242019-09-29 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
News Physical Sciences Technology Quantum Mechanics Redefines Radars The quantum revolution mainly involve visible wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, but everything changed when Shabir Barzanjeh and his team at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria used special properties of quantum mechanics to make measurements that were not previously possible. Together, they used entangled microwaves to create a quantum radar. The radar works […] Written by Alizah Gul Memon 2019-09-222021-09-07 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
News Technology The Future of Sound in Quantum Computing In the context of wave particle duality just like light has “particles” called photons, sound also has particles called phonons. These particles, in-fact, are quasiparticles – a phenomenon that occurs when a microscopically complicated system behaves as if it were a particle. A quantum computer can deliver technology’s long-promised ability to help scientists do things […] Written by Farheen Fawad 2019-09-152021-09-07 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
News Technology The Creation of a Pure Carbon Ring is Finally Here! Once merely a figment of imagination, the pure Carbon-18 ring has now materialized into our lives. Estimated to have semiconductor properties, it offers great scope for technological developments and now opens up “a new field of investigation,” according to Yoshito Tobe, a chemist at Osaka University in Japan. If we trace back carbon-18’s story, it […] Written by Zainab Mubasher 2019-09-072021-09-07 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Biography Physical Sciences Technology The Forgotten Father of the Future: Nikola Tesla In the 1880s, while working at Edison Company on the improvement of the designs of direct current motors and generators, Nikola Tesla realized that the DC transmission was very far from a perfect source of power transmission. “The more I worked on DC the more I realized that direct current is not perfect at all.

Health Sciences News Technology Manipulating Brains Through Smartphones Researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and the University of Washington, USA have invented a device that can control neural circuits using a tiny brain implant controlled by a smartphone. The scientists, publishing in Nature Biomedical Engineering, believe the device can speed up efforts to uncover brain diseases such as […] Written by Farheen Fawad 2019-08-292021-06-28 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Life Science News Technology Neuralink Plans for Human Subjects for a New Experiment Under the supervision of a neuroscientist, a robot carefully implants ultra-fine threads, finer than hair, into the brain of its subject to collect neuron activity and using this data to control machines. This is the new project of mysterious Neuralink, an American neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk and recently revealed by Musk himself on […] Written by Zainab Mubasher 2019-08-232021-06-28 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
