Hearing is one of our most important abilities that enables us to sustain our lives, one of our five senses, thanks to the complex mechanisms in the ear. How our ears work is still a fascinating topic these days. Inside the bony, snail-shaped shell known as the cochlea, thousands of microscopic hair cells are located, and they are the key to the ability of hearing, as they ensure the transmission of sound and vibrations. Also, it is possible that you have some complications from birth in your hearing ability. While not ignoring the possibility of accidents occurring, the main reasons for loss of hearing ability are mostly because of birth and genetics. However, the modern world and scientists are working really hard to cure this dysfunction...click here to read more

For the last 75 years, we have been on planes with turbofans that we are all familiar with—but now, everything is about to change for the aviation industry. Throughout the decades, aviation’s ultimate goal was to create the most fuel-efficient, the fastest, and the least expensive plane possible. The differing styles of planes varied in their priorities. Commercial planes prioritize fuel efficiency and cost, while military aviation prioritizes speed...click here to read more

Smart contact lenses are a relatively new and advanced technology that is expected to offer many advantages in daily life and healthcare. These lenses are equipped with sensors, electronics, and optics inside a soft, biocompatible lens, offering capabilities far beyond vision correction in a miniaturized system. Although the original purpose of its design was to develop vision applications, today this new technological inventory has expanded considerably. With the combination of microelectronics, materials science, and biotechnology, smart contact lenses offer a revolution in areas such as augmented reality, monitoring health metrics, and communication...click here to read more

Undoubtedly one of the most complicated vehicles of our time is Formula 1 cars. These cars have competed at the world’s highest tech competitions since 1950 with speeds up to 375 km/h. Every year, the magnificent aerodynamic structure of these cars keeps on developing. The concept of aerodynamics is the study of how gases interact with objects and the forces that emerge from them, which is a fundamental concept for all vehicles, particularly Formula 1. With changing regulations in F1 for 2026, downforce, ground effect, and how they impact the race have been major topics on the internet....click here to read more

Global warming refers to the long-term rise in Earth’s surface temperature, particularly since the pre-industrial era (1850–1900). This phenomenon is mostly caused by human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels, which raises the concentrations of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor are examples of greenhouse gases. Approximately 25% of greenhouse gas emissions come from food systems such as livestock. Most people don’t know that their dietary preference directly affects global warming....click here to read more

Space has always been of interest to people, and this curiosity is what first led us to explore it. One of humanity’s most significant discoveries is the moon. The moon is Earth's closest neighbor and one of the most popular destinations for space exploration. For a while, many countries competed to be the first to go to the moon, the first being the Soviet Union in 1959 with its Luna 2 Spacecraft. Today, scientists are thinking about melting the moon, and this idea is not a theory or a mad scientist’s idea. It is a real concept and scientists are already taking action. But two questions remain: Why? And how?...click here to read more

Dr. Jamie McGowan, a postdoctoral scientist at the Earlham Institute, analyzed the genome sequence of a microscopic organism—a protist—isolated from a freshwater pond at Oxford University Parks​. Mcgowan was working on sequencing single cellular organisms and he came upon Oligohymenophorea sp. PL0344. This organism had a unique way of translating RNA codons into proteins.  While examining the genetic structure of Oligohymenophorea sp. PL0344, Dr. McGowan discovered that, unlike most known organisms, this ciliate uses only TGA as a stop codon, causing a paradigm shift in genetics...click here to read more

The US Environmental Protection Agency, also known as the EPA, is an institution responsible for the protection of human, public, and environmental health within the United States, utilizing tactics such as including the regulation of pesticide usage, marketing of chemicals, and cleaning up chemically contaminated lands to safeguard the environment. The EPA has authorized the use of OX5034 GM Ae. aegypti mosquitoes for release in counties in Florida and Texas. Genetic modification is a process of altering the gene sequence of an organism with laboratory-based technologies by using methods like nucleotide insertion, deletions, and gene replacements...click here to read more

Light microscopes are devices used in laboratories that operate based on the interaction of visible light with small objects and structures by providing magnified images. Compared to other microscope technologies, light microscopes have numerous benefits in terms of scope and versatility. To illustrate, it provides a magnification of 10x to 2000x, the most ideal magnification settings for biological fields such as histology, and the microscopic study of tissues. This promising technology is used in multiple other fields such as micrology, medicine, and material science...click here to read more
