January 10, 2025January 10, 2025 Pooja Kashyap

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revolutionized our understanding of the early universe, particularly with its discoveries in 2024. The objects that have been discovered have revealed properties and structures that challenges our current understanding of cosmic theories. These groundbreaking findings, many made possible by the phenomenon of gravitational lensing, have opened new avenues of research into how the earliest galaxies and stars formed.

January 9, 2025January 9, 2025 Pooja Kashyap

An interesting development around quantum computing has surfaced. We all know that these quantum systems require super cold temperature to operate at their optimal performance. Why? Well, the fundamental blocks of quantum computers, which are, the qubits cannot function in regular temperature. For reliable quantum computation, these quantum systems require extremely low temperatures as they are highly sensitive to their surroundings, in fact, even a tiny disturbance by weak electromagnetic interference can cause errors in their system.

January 8, 2025January 23, 2025 Pooja Kashyap

Bioengineers at Rice University have developed an innovative technique for creating custom sense-and-respond circuits in human cells. This innovation could be a game changer for conditions like autoimmune disease and cancer. What is custom sense-and-respond circuits in human cells? It is an interesting mechanism where cells pick up particular signals from its outside environment and react in a certain manner. It can be compared to personalized tools that can empower us to finely tune how cells behave.

The Dark Forest is the second book in the “Remembrance of Earth’s Past” trilogy, written by Cixin Liu in 2008. Like its prequel, The Three-Body Problem, this one is also an interesting mix of particle physics, geo political issues, virtual reality games along with an alien contact. The first book of the series lays the foundation of something epic that is bound to happen. Ye Wenjie is not happy with contemporary humanity and believes that people are responsible for her father’s death. In a fit of rage, she invites an…
