KNOW THE REAL POTENTIAL OF OUR BRAIN 🧠 You can do anything! Paint a masterpiece in a minute, learn this language in an hour, built a milti-billion dollar company overnight and rule the world by tomorrow morning. What’s holding you back? Why aren’t you doing? What you want? Didn’t you hear Mozart as a baby? Didn’t you eat enough veggies growing up? Or is it because you are not using your brain at its full potential? Want to know how you can? Read further to know more… The brain, to say the least, is very complex. We have studied it for centuries and we are still learning about its secrets today, but we must be careful as search  for facts usually leads to fiction. If you really think, to be smarter your brain needs to be bigger… False! Brain size relates more to proportion than it does to intelligence. For example, your brain next to whale’s? Guess who’s smarter? Guess whose body needs more processing power ? Your brain is smaller than whale's because your body is small. However yo...

  ASTROBIOLOGY     The study of life in the cosmos is known as astrobiology. Understanding life, the nature of the settings that support it, as well as planetary, planetary system, and stellar interactions and processes, is necessary for the search for life beyond Earth.     The study of habitable habitats within the Solar System and beyond, the hunt for planetary biosignatures of past or current extraterrestrial life, and the investigation of the genesis and early evolution of life on Earth are the three main focuses of astrobiology research.   IMAGE CREDIT :- NASA    With the advent of space exploration and the finding of exoplanets in the 20th century, the science of astrobiology was born. Early astrobiology research centred on the investigation of the possibility that life may exist on other planets and the quest for extraterrestrial life. As part of the Viking...

Abstract  Ardusat is an Arduino-based satellite which is having dimensions of 10 by 10 by 10 cm the exterior material i.e the body of the satellite is made up of 3D printing like PLA (polylactic acid). The aim of this mission is that one can understand the atmospheric conditions in the stratosphere of earth. This mission is going to take place by the use of a weather balloon which will take the satellite up to the altitude of 20 to 25 km. The satellite is taking some seeds which are having low germination rate so that during the period of a few hours the different atmospheric parameters would start their effect on the seeds and due to that there might be different results that can be seen by the seeds after there germination and it would be noticeable when the plant grows this will take us to the that how the future of space farming is. The payload weight of the satellite will not be more than 2kg and the material by which the weather balloon is made up of Latex. There are numerous...

  VTOL stands for vertical take-off and landing and, as the name suggests, refers to aircraft that can take off, hover, and land vertically. The best-known example is the helicopter. Fig.1.Vertical takeoff and landing Plane There are two different types in a VTOL technology: rotorcraft and powered-lift. Rotorcrafts, or rotary-wing aircraft, are those that use lift generated by rotor blades spinning around a central mast, like example are helicopters, quad copters, and gyrocopters. Powered-lift vehicles are those that take off and land vertically but perform differently from rotorcraft when in flight. They typically have a more conventional fixed-wing plane design. Examples include Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, which takes off and lands vertically but uses fixed-wing lift in normal flight. Vectored thrust planes, such as the Harrier Jump Jet series also used powered-lift by manipulating the thrust from the engine or motor to control the flight of the aircraft. Fig.2.V-22 Osprey Most powe...

3D Printing Technology is the process of obtaining a three-dimensional model by directly feeding the design with Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The model is typically built using a technique called additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing is building an object by successive layering of material through automatic controls. The recent improvement in the technologies has enabled producing the object in a much easier way, making it less complex and producing objects with more accuracy. Through this technology, it is possible to print metals using cobalt, stainless steel, and titanium similarly to plastic. It is known that the first solid object was printed using the digital design by Hideo Kodama from Japan of Nayoga Municipal Industrial Research Institute, but the true credit for the first 3D printer goes to Charles Hull from USA, who invented it in 1984. This technology evolved and has become more and more useful in industries at affordable prices. It has got a wide range of applicat...
