Thermal Imaging is a method of using infrared radiation and thermal energy to gather information about objects, in order to formulate images of them, even in low visibility environments. It’s a type of technology that has built up a broad range of uses over the years. In particular, it’s an effective form of night-vision technology, with the capability to work… Read more →
Cultured meat is meat produced by in vitro cultivation of animal cells, instead of from slaughtered animals. It is a form of cellular agriculture. Cultured meat is produced using many of the same tissue engineering techniques traditionally used in regenerative medicine. The concept of cultured meat was popularized by Jason Matheny in the early 2000s after co-authoring a seminal paper… Read more →
An opisometer, also called a curvimeter, meilograph, or map measurer is an electronic instrument for measuring the lengths of arbitrary curved lines. A simple opisometer consists of a toothed wheel of the known circumference on a handle. The wheel is placed in contact with the curved line to be measured and run along its length. By counting the number of… Read more →
The gold standard is a monetary system where a country’s currency or paper money has a value directly linked to gold. With the gold standard, countries agreed to convert paper money into a fixed amount of gold. A country that uses the gold standard sets a fixed price for gold and buys and sells gold at that price. That fixed price… Read more →
A Quantum Dot is a human-made nanoparticle that has semiconductor properties. They’re tiny, ranging in size from 2 to 10 nanometers, with the size of the particle dictating the wavelength of light it emits, and therefore the color. When Quantum Dots are hit with a light source, each dot emits a color of a specific bandwidth: Larger dots emit light… Read more →
TDS in water? How TDS meter work? Total dissolved solids (TDS) are the amount of organic and inorganic materials, such as metals, minerals, and ions, dissolved in a particular volume of water. When a solvent, such as water, encounters soluble material, particles of the material are absorbed into the water. TDS in water can come from just about anywhere, including… Read more →
It has been observed that about 95% of people are not aware of the arrow symbol on the fuel indicator. If you too are among that 95%, then don’t worry, we are here to clear the buzz about the arrow. In the simplest words, the arrow symbol on the fuel indicator is to indicate on which side the car’s fuel… Read more →
A breathalyzer or breathalyser is a device for estimating blood alcohol content (BAC) from a breath sample. Breathalyzer is the brand name (a genericized trademark) for the instrument that tests the alcohol level developed by inventor Robert Frank Borkenstein. It was registered as a trademark on May 13, 1954, but many people use the term to refer to any generic… Read more →
God’s algorithm is a notion originating in discussions of ways to solve the Rubik’s Cube puzzle, but which can also be applied to other combinatorial puzzles and mathematical games. It refers to any algorithm which produces a solution having the fewest possible moves, the idea being that only an omniscient being would know an optimal step from any given configuration.… Read more →
Artificial leaf, a silicon-based device that uses solar energy to split hydrogen and oxygen in water, thereby producing hydrogen energy in a clean way, leaving virtually no pollutants. The technology, which was designed to simulate the natural energy-generating process of photosynthesis used by plants, was first successfully developed by American chemist Daniel G. Noceraand colleagues in 2011. Further work was… Read more →
