How Does Electricity Work?
Imagine you have a circuit with a battery, a switch, and a lightbulb. We all know that when you close the circuit, the lightbulb turns on, but do you know why that happens?
The Window to the World - Vision
When you open your eyes and look around, you see colors and shapes, which make up a plethora of different objects and organisms. If you have glasses or contact lenses, trying to see without them makes shapes and colors blur, manipulating and hindering the sight of everyday things. How can the same objects and organisms look so different per person or any other sight-abled creature? The answer lies in the science of vision.
Black Holes: A Fabric of Mystery
Whether it's because your astronomy teacher went on a rant about them, you watched Young Sheldon, or you are simply interested in physics, you have probably heard about black holes. Even though the idea of black holes has been introduced and researched since the late 1700s, there is still a fabric of mystery surrounding them.
Fusion: Unlocking the Power of the Sun
You may have heard of nuclear fission, the source of energy for nuclear plants or atomic bombs, but have you heard of nuclear fusion?
Exploring the Depths of Hydraulics
Whirr! Whoosh! The construction site beside my house is back to work with its loud crane. When I looked through the window though, I wondered how can just a metal rod with a bunch of pistons in it carry tons of materials with ease. A bit of research led me to my answer – hydraulics.
Einstein’s Theories of Relativity
Despite our current understanding of the universe, it would seem intuitive that time, space, and motion should be constant, or more specifically, absolute.
Beyond the Fall of the Apple: Unveiling the Mysteries of Gravity
We all know it. That mysterious force that keeps you from floating up into the endless void of the cosmos. Encapsulating your entire life, the entire world is controlled by the wonderful phenomena that is gravity. This article from Science ReWired takes you back in time, all the way back to the infamous apple drop and unveils the most important force in the entire universe: gravity.
CERN and the Large Hadron Collider
The Large Hadron Collider, commonly known as LHC or the CERN Collider, is the world’s largest and undoubtably most powerful particle accelerator. This article from Science ReWired will explore particle accelerators, CERN, and the Large Hadron Collider.
Oppenheimer: The Chemistry Behind Hiroshima and Nagasaki
J. Robert Oppenheimer fathered the atomic bomb, a creation that cost around 120,000 Japanese lives. However, the successful deployment of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki marked a turning point in modern warfare and the dawn of the atomic age. But how did Oppenheimer postulate such a destructive bomb all the way in the mid-1900s when the only form of computing was a typewriter? The answer lies in quantum theory and the fundamentals of chemistry brewing in London.
Artifical intelligence and personalized learning experiences
This research proposal investigates the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in facilitating personalized learning experiences in educational settings while addressing the associated ethical implications. Rapid advancements in AI offer promising possibilities for customizing and optimizing learning experiences, though its utilization remains underexplored. Furthermore, AI's ethical challenges in education, such as algorithmic fairness and transparency, require a comprehensive examination. This study thus aims to investigate AI-driven tools in educational settings, identify best practices, examine the ethical implications and propose a regulatory framework, bridging the gap between the ideal and reality of personalized learning, providing a more nuanced understanding of the ethical aspects of AI in education.
A Journey Into the Unkown: The Physics of Interstellar
Perhaps the most realistic imitation of a black hole can be found in Christopher Nolan’s 2014 masterpiece: Interstellar. A globally renown film, not just for its beautiful cinematography and clever storytelling, but also for its attention to detail and appreciation towards real-world physics. This article from Science ReWired, will explore the physics in Interstellar, mainly focusing on the study of Black Holes and comparing the film to the real world.
