FOSSILS OF SMALLEST MEAT EATING DINOSAURS The last dinosaurs died about 65 million years ago, long before humans started walking around. Scientists can still learn new things about these ancient animals though, thanks to the fossils they left behind. Paleontologists are scientists who study dinosaurs, and recently these researchers have made some surprising discoveries. Canadian [...]

The Chang’e 2 probe is an advanced version of the Chang’e 1 that crashed into the moon in a controlled collision [...]

Spirit became embedded in soft soil at a site called “Troy” five months ago, more than five years into a mission on Mars that [...]

The speed and relatively cheap cost of manufacturing virus batteries could prove attractive to industry. In what is claimed to be the first potential applications of synthetic biology, researchers have now shown that viruses, otherwise [...]

So through thousands of years, the total number of stars was not even nearly guessed at. With the invention of the first telescope the number of stars increased to just about 30124. But, even [...]
Continue reading → A small but important discovery was made on the night of March 24, 1993. That night, a photo of the stars was taken by the 0.4 meter telescope on Mt. Palomar in California. Eugene and Carolyn Shoemaker and David Levy studied that photo of the stars and found an unknown comet. That comet caused a [...]

The Gemini South telescope with a clear aperture of 8 meters made of ULE on a TELAS mount would really be exciting to use. But, don’t think you cannot see great stuff or get good views of galaxies or even asteroids with a [...]

Haptic technology, technology that interfaces with the user through the sense of touch Haptic technology refers to technology that interfaces to the user via the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, and/or motions to the user. This mechanical stimulation may be used to [...]

The retinas of our two eyes each receive images of our environment under a slightly different angle. These retina images are sent in a coded form [...]
Continue reading → IMPLEMANTATION OF VIRUAL REALITY It was very necessary for the creaters of VR to create a system which produces a 3-D image to achieve complete immersion of the user and it was possible by just using the common programming languages such as C and C++. To develop a real time virtual environment, [...]

Continue reading → Storage batteries are devices which act as a storehouse of electrical energy. The electrical energy is stored in the form of chemical charge which is reversible. The most common storage battery is a lead acid accumulator which uses lead as electrode and sulphuric acid as an electrolyte. Initially both the cell electrodes of the battery [...]

As the polluted air enters the mask, the harmful gases, smoke, dust or chemicals from the air are removed by absorption. The commonly used adsorbent- a mixture of activated charcoal with reactive chemicals, caustic soda fused on pumice stone, fused [...]
