A few weeks ago, I attended a microbiome conference as part of the Frontiers of Science, an initiative of the Australian Academy of Science. It was chock-full of the brightest early and mid-career scientists working on understanding the relevance of the…
In 1919, Tesla wrote several articles for the magazine Electrical Experimenter. The following is the first of them.
MY EARLY LIFENikola Tesla
Seit einiger Zeit verfolge ich einigermaßen schockiert die Geschichte um den “Arzt” Paolo Macchiarini. Falls jemand davon noch nie gehört hat, der Paolo hat sich irgendwann ausgedacht, dass man mit Stammzellen auf einem Trägermaterial doch sicher neue Luftröhren…
Bubbling beakers, blazing Bunsen burners, boiling broths and a book. Not just any book, a lab notebook. Each page…
And it was pretty much there this whole time, just hiding in plain sight. We’re dealing with amazing new scientific possibilities every day, so it kinda shouldn’t come as a surprise that we’ve just discovered (Or perhaps ‘Rediscovered’ would suit this better) something…
Effects of Higher Altitude on Boiler
Combustion is a process which needs constant air supply for its survival, but as we move up the earth i.e. at higher altitudes, things aren’t the same as they used to be at sea level. The oxygen content in the air reduces exponentially. Unlike human body, a Steam Boiler doesn’t…
Although the name Gigantoraptor, literally meaning “GIANT RAPTOR!”, sounds like the title of a low budget horror…
I left the office one evening a few weeks back, and while I was walking up the street, James Box cycled past, waving a hearty good evening to me. I didn’t see him at first. I was in a state of maximum distraction. For one thing, there was someone walking down the street with a magnificent Irish wolfhound. If that…
I got into the discussion on your last article and got only some of the answers I wanted. But I will restrict myself to one question here:
Do we need GMOs in order to feed the world? Lots of people think not. Some don’t say. If we don’t need them, then why give such a boon to big chemistry?
Thermosets in Single-Ply Roofing — Single-ply membranes can be generally categorized into two groups — thermosets and thermoplastics. Thermosets, or those materials that you can’t hot-air weld because it will change their physical characteristics, use a tape or a contact cement to…
No, God can’t fill that gap, nothing can. God could move you back one step but leaves questions like “Why is there a god rather than no god?” Answering that God just is is no more compelling than accepting that certain physical laws just are the law.
I used to stare at the stars,
One and two,
I never counted past a hundred and three,
Innumerous, shining for all to see,
A snapshot of light from another galaxy.
Making your argument for the existence of a god doesn’t eliminate the existence of Atheism.
What someone believes…even their deep unspoken thoughts, is entirely personal and can’t be subject to another’s “superior wisdom”.
In other words, if a person say’s they’re an atheist, and they act (and think) like an atheist, they’re probably an atheist.
Cells get together and talk to each other. I remember last summer, by the ocean — I saw bioluminescent waves striking…
On this point, Stephen Wolfram in A New Kind of Science proposes that reality is a type of cellular automaton, which is a very interesting and original idea.
In a study published in the December 29 issue of Cell, Professor Brangwynne of Princeton University developed a new tool called optoDroplet through recombinant proteins including recombinant horse proteins. This tool can…
It’s so amazing that between technology like these sonic tractor beams and new hologram potential like the Voxiebox, that we’re actually breaking down barriers that once seemed 100% impossible. Science-fiction has always been seen as a predictor of future tech (look at smartphones or drones), but this was always acknowledged with a big caveat towards…
Terry Mortenson of Answers in Genesis (AiG) is not a fan of scientific study of the earth. According to Mortenson, the entire field of geology is rooted in anti-theistic philosophy.
There are a total of 12 cranial nerves. Three of them, cranial nerves I, II, and VIII are classified as purely special sensory nerves giving you the ability to smell, see, and hear.
Cranial Nerve I: The Olfactory Nerve a.k.a. Nerve of Osmia. The nerve fibers from…
Sometimes it’s good to feel a little jaded when presented with ideas that are unlikely to pan out. Other times, we genuinely underestimate the progress of the future. But in the middle of the extremes, there are GOOD ideas for which we have not…
Talk by David Guston at the Joint Research Centre (17th November 2016)
I’ve spent the better part of a lifetime pulling together and integrating micro- and macro- evolutionary threads. If you are what you say, “A microcosmic telescope collecting visions for the Universe,” you should be interested in my…
I was running all around the house in search of the only essay writing self-help book I own. Once I got my hands on it I…
I made a list of three mentors and then I picked Dr. Yasir Saleem as one that should be my Potential Mentor. He has done PhD in Chemical Engineering and now he is teaching in Dept. of Chemical Engineering at UET Lahore KSK campus for more than 5 years. He has taught in…
