Are Black Holes doorways To Other Universes?

October 17, 2013 Pooja Kashyap

Black holes are one of those flabbergasted phenomena of universe that research is still being done on the subject. Gravitational pull is what keep the things moving on earth but with a huge amount of power we can escape the gravity and can move around like in space ships, rockets etc.. However, this is not the case with black holes, density of the object is so high that it funnels down everything that touches it perimeter, light too cannot escape it and is engulfed by the unplumbed phenomenon.

Robo Raven, Bird That Relies On Solar Energy

October 16, 2013March 27, 2014 Pooja Kashyap

After the humanoid robots, we would now we witnessing the robotic bird. This robo raven is very much similar to the real birds in the sense that it can control its wing motion due to which it is able to perform similar aerobatics like back flips and dives. Phenomena that was not possible with the mechanical birds before. Precision of the machine is so accurate that birds in the area could be seen diving and attacking from above with their talons. Other birds including seagulls could be seen lining up…

Internet Goes Underwater: Deep Sea Wireless Concept

October 16, 2013March 16, 2014 Pooja Kashyap

Tentacles of internet are now advancing towards the ocean bed, a realm that is untouched by open wireless. Researchers from the University at Buffalo are working on the concept of deep-sea internet. I am saying working as they are still laboring on its feasibility. The team envision that the underwater wireless network would give control in detecting the tsunami, natural gas exploration, surveillance, keeping a check on pollution and similar other disturbances.

Robots In Manned Cosmonautics Envision Scientists

October 11, 2013October 16, 2013 Pooja Kashyap

Propelling robots in manned cosmonautics is one of the visions, which the scientists are working upon. After NASA’s R2, Russia is busy designing their Robonaut, the SAR-400. Within the next few years, we would be witnessing SAR-400 stepping into the ISS. Like R2, aim of SAR-400 too would be to solve repair and maintenance issues on the ISS. Talking about the physical structures, both the bots are in form of a robotic torso with no legs of course making it easier to fix to a crane on the ISS.

Diamonds Could Be Floating Around Inside Of Saturn

October 10, 2013October 13, 2013 Pooja Kashyap

As per the recent planetary analysis scientists discovered that deep atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn might hold large pieces of diamond floating in a mixture of hydrogen/helium fluid. In order to understand the carbon allotropy with respect to diamond across temperature and pressure, the scientists behind the study plotted a phase diagram. This diagram was then combined with the new pressure-temperature statistics of Jupiter and Saturn. The grid indicated that diamond will be in a stable phase in deep interiors but below the region where the stability will not work,…

Design Is An Art, Says Shawn Moghadam: An Interview

October 9, 2013October 31, 2013 Pooja Kashyap

Shawn Moghadam is an Industrial / Vehicle / 3D Designer from Greater Los Angeles Area, CA. He has served Peugeot/Citroen (PSA), Audi, BMW, GM, Subaru, and Volvo trucks. His designs clearly show his in-depth understanding of customer requirements, which happens to be his asset in creating life in his concepts. When he is not designing, Moghadam is busy teaching design student the basics of 2D to 3D translation, how to make 3D models and generate photo-real images from them. Lately, we’ve got the honor of interviewing the much talented designer,…

Antarctic Ice Sheet Rests Over Meltwater Streams

October 7, 2013October 13, 2013 Pooja Kashyap

There are numerous landscapes resting under the deep sea level and across the poles that are untouched and yet to be discovered by humans on the planet Earth. Volcanoes have been discovered lurking under the oceans and now, researchers have come across beautiful and magnificent ice channels under the sheet of frozen ice. Antarctica possesses the enormous ice channels underneath a floating ice shelf. If we talk about measurements, it would surpass the Eiffel Tower, said the research scientists. Team behind the study is hoping that this discovery would be…

Self Assembling Modular Robots: The Future Of Robotics

October 4, 2013October 14, 2013 Pooja Kashyap

Modular bot will be the new dimension in the field of Robotics. Unlike the conventional scheme of robots, the modular bots are cube and without any external moving part. Researchers behind the discovery have named each as M-Block. Scientists of MIT, John Romanishin, Daniela Rus and postdoc Kyle Gilpin are going to present a paper describing their new robots at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems.

That’ll Be Me As A Robot

October 3, 2013October 14, 2013 Pooja Kashyap

I have started falling for robots especially after watching Wall E and Real Steel but after seeing this, I feel I really need one of meself. I find it extremely cute & I can’t stop posting it 🙂 Ambience has a raining mood, you have a cup of coffee, the robo is playing guitar, cat is meowing on one shoulder, I’ll add a dog wagging too. No tension of getting drenched just playing around with strings and singing. Source: Travistysbeard

Titan Could Be A Fountainhead Of Organic Compounds

October 3, 2013October 13, 2013 Pooja Kashyap

Propylene, an unsaturated organic compound has been discovered in Space debris. The compound is used as raw material in the production of food storage containers that we employ in our kitchen, other consumer products including car bumpers. Cassini, the largest, heaviest and most complex interplanetary spacecraft of NASA’s identified the debris on Saturn’s moon Titan. For the first time, the organic compound has been discovered in the aerospace. This is not the only exploration done on Titan. During 1980 expedition of Titan, the spacecraft (Voyager1) has detected some hydrocarbons, the…

Internet Connected Highway

October 3, 2013October 13, 2013 Pooja Kashyap

Internet across highway, this is what the transportation system in the UK is planning to achieve in the near future. The busy A14, a stretch of eighty kilometers, would soon be sodden with sensors for observing traffic by transferring signals to mobile devices in moving cars. In the words of Ofcom, telecoms watchdog, Sensors in cars and on the roads monitor the build-up of congestions and wirelessly send this information to a central traffic control system, which automatically imposes variable speed limits that smooth the flow of traffic. This system…

Supervolcanoes May Lurked On Ancient Mars

October 3, 2013October 13, 2013 Pooja Kashyap

Basin that was previously thought to be a consequence of meteorite impact on the surface of the Red planet is in fact the remnants of an ancient flared up supervolcano, postulated by Joseph R. Michalski, Senior Scientist at the Planetary Science Institute and co-author Jacob E. Bleacher of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. In the words Michalski, On Mars, young volcanoes have a very distinctive appearance that allows us to identify them. The long-standing question has been what ancient volcanoes on Mars look like. Perhaps they look like this one. Capacity of the…

JEROS Stand Tall To Combat Marine Menace

October 1, 2013October 13, 2013 Pooja Kashyap

South Korea is witnessing an upsurge of untold devastation in coastal areas some sea storm or Tsunami is not responsible for the havoc rather it is an offshoot of jellyfishes. Sounds like a great sci-fi movie but it is not the case. Jellyfish are threatening marine ecosystems and have already caused $300 million in damage and losses to fisheries, seaside power plants, and other ocean infrastructure. Invasion meltdown Large jellyfish swarms have been increased relatively throughout the world and are causing great disaster at the coastal areas. In order to…
