Water Recovery System in Space

We all know that getting good food and good air is very essential for fundamental well being. This amplifies its importance in space, particularly in the International Space Station and other spacecraft. Like oxygen, water is a precious resource in space. Hence water management in spacecraft is extremely important. There have been rumors that astronauts…

Digital Twins

When we design machines, the traditional engineer’s toolbox can look rather empty. We need a new set of manufacturing and construction tools to meet the new realities of software-driven products fueled by digital disruption. A digital twin is a breakthrough technology proposed by Professor Michael Grieves in 2003 at the University of Michigan. We’ve seen…

COVID-19 and India’s Gig Economy

The gig economy is part of a crucial transformation occurring in India’s work landscape, and ride-hailing companies are examples of platforms on which “gigs” can be found. The Indian ride-hailing market was projected to grow by 15.5 percent until 2023; the COVID-19 pandemic, however, has disrupted the trajectory. The drivers of these companies—numbering approximately four…

To Read or not to Read?

I have always loved reading. Some of my fondest memories of my childhood are that of lying face down on my bed cooped up in my room while reading a book. Like almost every amateur bookworm, I started with the established standard, the Famous Five and The Secret Seven before slowly graduating to Hardy Boys…

Creating Energy From Nothing

Everyone talks about energy as a major crisis in the world. Renewable energy over non-renewable energy, electric cars vs IC engines, the dangers of nuclear energy, the lacking efficiency in Solar energy etc. are major problems tackled by many renowned names around the world. However, a tiny aspect of the energy sector hasn’t gotten the…

Application Of Computational Science In The Geo-Sciences

Computational Science is the discipline that utilizes mathematical models to solve and analyse problems. Due to the recent advances in technology, particularly in modern-day computing, computational science has seen an increase in its use. Starting as simulations of natural processes, this field has led to great discoveries in both science and engineering. Numerical analysis is…
