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…
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…
The Centerpiece of Modern Combat Fleets Aircraft carrier is a warship equipped with a large open deck for the taking off and landing of warplanes and with facilities to carry, service, and arm them. It is an airfield at sea with many special features necessitated by limitations in size and the medium in which it…
Eliud Kipchoge, the world’s most celebrated long-distance runner, broke the marathon record last year. Not only did he break his previous record, but also completed it in under 2 hours, something which was deemed impossible by most experts. One could say that it was Nike that made this happen. Nike, partnered with Kipchoge and Dr….
What if the air and water travel were interchanged? What if boats could actually fly? Sounds impossible. Right? But in reality too they can. There are some boats that actually took to the sky! Flying boats, as they were rightfully called, are fixed wing seaplanes with a hull, allowing them to land on water. They…
Explore how a centuries old ancient Japanese art form is being used in the most cutting edge scientific projects of the 21st century. How, a humble paper crane, swan or dragon has inspired engineers to create tiny self assembling robots to gigantic space structures.
VTOL stands for “vertical take-off and landing.” As the name implies, it denotes a kind of aircraft that can launch and land from a single spot. Since aerial vehicles equipped with VTOL technologies don’t require the horizontal space of a runway, they can start and end from virtually any location on the globe.The idea of…
The universe we exist in is one hot pot of entropy fuzzing with energy fluctuations and continuous conversion between different forms of energy/matter. No matter how far we reach out in space or how many times we zoom into matter, mankind’s efforts to find perfect nothingness has been futile. Empty space as we know it,…
Unmanned aerial vehicles have been in operation for many years, particularly for military purposes. However, recent advances in technology have increased the potential uses of drones, such as for aerial photography, agriculture, and search and rescue. Improvements in battery life, motor power and gyroscopes mean that users have more control over drones than ever before,…
