Graphene is one of the thinnest, strongest two dimensional materials. Graphene is a two dimensional material consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb...
Gravitational Waves were for the first time discovered in February, 2016, 100 years after they were hypothesized by Albert Einstein in 1916. These waves were detected by the...
Quantum dots are nanoscale semiconductor particles whose electronic, optical, and structural properties are governed by quantum mechanical principles. Owing to their extremely small dimensions—typically ranging from 2 to...
The chromosphere is a distinct layer of the Sun’s atmosphere located above the photosphere and beneath the corona. It derives its name from the Greek words chroma meaning...
Alpha Centauri is the closest stellar system to the Solar System and one of the most studied objects in modern astronomy. Located approximately 4.37 light-years away from Earth...
An aurora is a spectacular natural light display that occurs in the upper atmosphere (the thermosphere and lower exosphere), typically near the polar regions of the Earth. It...
An achromatic lens is a type of optical lens designed to minimise chromatic aberration, a common distortion that occurs when different wavelengths of light are refracted at slightly...
A cold wall is a term used in physical geography and oceanography to describe a zone of sharp temperature contrast that develops along certain coastal regions, where cold...
An antipleion, more commonly known as an antipode, refers to the point on the Earth’s surface that lies diametrically opposite to another point. If a straight line were...
Neutrinos are fundamental particles which make up the universe. They are abundant, feeble mass, travel through planets, stars, rock and human body without any interaction. Neutrinos do not...
An X-ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) is a type of coherent light source that produces intensely bright, ultrashort pulses of X-rays by accelerating high-energy electrons through a magnetic structure....
