Multiverse is a great topic top discuss after seeing parallel universe in “Stranger Things(2016)” and “Spiderman into the Spider-verse(2018)” but its not as simple as shown in movies neither even practically proved ,there are great theories about multi-verse but neither of them can fully satisfy our visions about multiverse. When a vision comes to our mind abut universe we think solar system or more vastly milky way but this is only the observable universe and there are so many observable universe which may have failed to maintain the matter/vacuum energy ratio resulting no sign of life. As of “String theory” our observable universe is a 3D structure in a 9D space where the multiple observable universes are stacked like an newspaper-one over another ,these are called membranes ,like a string with twisted membranes where the membranes keep rotating the universes rotate and change their positions in the space. Still it is not yet proven. Whereas some of the scientists belie

Ever marveled at the unending mysteries of nature? How everything is in perfect coordination all around, how even the tiniest of insects build up their sturdy little homes, how birds travel hundreds of miles to deal with season changes and how perfectly synchronized everything is around us.. We are just one among a billion different species, who call this planet our home. It would be rather unjustified to assume ourselves the most advanced, when a huge number of innovations and technologies we see around us today has been inspired by nature. Nature has been lending us her blueprints time and again, for the benefit of mankind and this has given rise to a whole new field of study- “BIO-MIMICRY”. In a nutshell bio mimicry involves taking inspiration from nature, its processes, models and systems to solve problems faced by mankind by mimicking nature’s time tested strategies. A lot of new innovations has been heavily borrowed from nature, including baobab tree inspired houses, blue

Since  WiFi's  accidental discovery by Australian Electrical engineer Dr. John O Sullivan, WiFi has revolutionized  the digital communication and makes about 60% of the world's internet traffic. With all of these, WiFi has some issues  1. its has varied signals  2. it is not secure because the signal can travel through walls and can get picked by another user. The reason for all of these is that WiFi uses radio waves to transmit data.We can improve this technology by looking at something that is cheap, safe, plentiful and more advanced for data transfer. The answer to this is light since it is a part of electromagnetic spectrum like radio waves but have much higher frequency i.e the waves can carry energy cycle at faster rate . Light has frequency range 10000 times greater than radio waves. That means it has the capacity to transmit large amount of data in less time. The concept of light being used as medium to transfer internet data has been coined as LIFI that means

( Figure: Upper left:  Activation of T cells requires that the T-cell receptor binds to structures on other immune cells recognized as ”non-self”. A protein functioning as a T-cell accelerator is also required for T cell activation. CTLA- 4 functions as a brake on T cells that inhibits the function of the accelerator.  Lower left:  Antibodies (green) against CTLA-4 block the function of the brake leading to activation of T cells and attack on cancer cells.  Upper right:  PD-1 is another T-cell brake that inhibits T-cell activation.  Lower right:  Antibodies against PD-1 inhibit the function of the brake leading to activation of T cells and highly efficient attack on cancer cells.) মার্চ, ২০১৫  আমার বন্ধু,  অনুরাগের (নাম  পরিবর্তিত) টি-সেল একিউট লিম্ফব্লাস্টিক লিম্ফোমা ধরা পড়ে, তখন থেকেই তার প্রয়োজনীয় সমস্ত রকম চিকিৎসা শুরু হয় এবং এই প্রতিকূলতা সত্ত্বেও সে মাধ্যমিক পরীক্ষায় ভালো ফল করে । ধীরে ধীরে সে সুস্থ হতে থাকলো কিন্তু দুর্ভাগ্য বসত ৩ বছর পরেই হটাৎই তার শারীরিক অবস

A new theory that tries to answer the question of what is this world made of!, STRING THEORY. In the year 1968 a young researcher Gabriele Veneziano trying to discover a strong force used strings to model particles. Ordinary matter in this world is made of atoms, which is again made of its basic components (electrons, whirling around the nucleus composed of electrons and protons .) Electrons are themselves the fundamental particle, (which falls in the category of leptons.) But from researches, it is found that neutrons and protons are further formed by smaller particles called “quarks”. Our current knowledge abt subatomic composition of the universe is summarized in what is known as the Standard Model of particle physics.it discusses the fundamental building blocks with which the world is made of, and the forces through which these blocks interact. There are 12 of these building blocks, out of which 6 are quarks the are: ·        Up, ·        strange , ·        charm,

Powered exoskeletons are wearable mobile machines powered by a system of electric motors, pneumatics, levers, hydraulics, sensors or a combination of technologies that allow for limb movement with increased strength and endurance. This technology is developing very fast and is already in use in many fields. People with movements related disability will be able to move very easily. Precision will be increased in surgeries. Developing a full body suit that meets the needs of soldiers has been proven challenging, but new and advanced designs with improved technologies and software will definitely benefit the military, police, fire-fighters later on. Modern Industries directly use these kinds of machines for efficient business. Though it makes you stronger, run faster, jump higher, still one of the biggest challenges engineers face is power supply if they are to be worn in the field. They risk explosion, might require frequent charging. Yet hydrogen cells have been used in some protot

           More than 100 years after Albert Einstein published his iconic theory of general relativity, it is beginning to you fray at the edges according to the modern scientists. Now in the most comprehensive test of general relativity near the Monsters black hole at the centre of our Galaxy scientist Ghez(UCLA professor of Physics and astronomy) reported that Einstein's theory holds up. According to the scientist, Newton's Law of Gravity can be absolutely ruled out, but their observation is consistent with Einstein's relativity theory. However, it cannot fully e explain gravity inside a Blackhole and at some point, modern scientists need to move beyond Einstein's theory to a more comprehensive theory of gravity that explains what a black hole is. The law of Physics including Gravity should be valid everywhere in-universe and Ghez along with her team is watching a star known as SO-2 that makes a complete Orbit it in 3D around the supermassive black hole at the c

School arithmetic is a subject which all educated persons have learnt in their childhood and adolescence, and none can claim to be incapable of carrying out such ordinary arithmetical calculations as are necessary for handling money. The simple applications of the first four rules, the factoring of integers, the calculation of the greatest common divisors and least common multiples of pairs of integers, the extraction of the square roots of integers, and such other exercises in arithmetic are not so difficult to most people as are algebra, trigonometry and calculus. Arithmetic thus constitutes a common stock of knowledge shared by all who have had a high school education.     From the 1990s onwards it has become necessary for students of engineering and technology to learn the rudiments of computer programming. I have noticed that the problems which such students are asked to solve by writing programmes and running them are seldom drawn from school arithmetic. Usually they are pr
