Supernovae - The most important piece of puzzle to our universe

"After" and "Before" real images of a supernova by NASA

One of the most energetic and explosive events in the entire universe is known as a supernova. Supernovae are extremely luminous and cause a burst of radiation that can briefly outshine an entire galaxy.

For a better understanding, please go through this post - How stars work ?

This event occur at the end of a star's ( particularly big sized stars = minimum mass 8 times that of the sun ) lifetime, when its nuclear fuel runs out, the star unable to provide necessary resisting force towards the gravity, gravity crushes the star and it's core to itself. Gravity does this so strongly that even the atoms crush together, making the core more and more unstable and intense so at certain point the energy building up overcomes gravity and causes a blast of shock-wave that ejects the star's envelope into interstellar space.

The next generation house - can be assembled in any environment, can be modified easily, uses highly recyclable materials, can be disassembled easily and moved to a new location and Eco-friendly.

As technology is growing day by day, it is influencing everything around us. Everyday new techs keeps popping up. People are challenging the old ways of doing things and innovating whole new different ways, like the people at BMW have created the 'GINA'. 

Like this, the architecture firm Kierantimberlake has been rethinking of how architecture is designed and constructed that is more linked towards the contemporary material flows, design factors, fabrication technologies, and assembly processes currently used in such industries as automobile, ship, and aircraft manufacturing.

Programmable Matter - The next level of Evolution

                                                 
We have all seen this movie and i'm sure most of us liked it. I liked it because the movie revolves around a bond of friendship between a human and a few highly advanced beings whose technological advancements are light years ahead of us and how they stick with each other through ups and downs. Even the transformers have hearts inside their chests and they feel like we do. It's just extraordinary. This particular scene shows, how incredibly advanced they are. But this science fiction concept will soon become our reality. How about that.

The secrets of the universe. How stars work? Is our Sun ever going to die?

Our universe is almost 14 billions years old and it stretches billions and billions of galaxies across that's why astronomers prefer the term 'observable universe' because the observable universe consists of the galaxies and other matter that can, in principle, be observed from Earth in the present day as light (or other signals) from those objects has had time to reach the Earth since the beginning of the cosmological expansion.

The observable universe is so vast that millions of stars are born and millions of others die everyday, yet our sun has been there for about 5 billion years. The universe created us along with some of the most mysterious objects like black-holes, which defy the laws of physics as we know it. Our understanding of the universe is still incomplete. But there are some things, we have been able to uncover.

Like where did the Universe came from and what is the big bang?

Where did we come from ? Are we really stardust ?

We are in 21st century, with such technological advancements that we can go back in time to the point of creation, when everything started. We are able to understand how everything works around us. Although we can't prevent natural disasters, we can predict them and take necessary precautions. Today we have built skyscrapers to live like kings, we live in luxury houses with technology all around us to make our life simple and easy. We have built cars, ships, underwater-ships and air-planes to satisfy our needs, use wireless cell phones to stay connected with others whenever we want & above all the internet to know about anything anytime. Even we have invaded the space with highly advanced spacecrafts.

But a good designer always know that to transform a good design into a better reality, you need the best building block. Afters thousands of years of evolution man has finally been able to understood the secrets behind the magic material and was able to use it efficiently. Just look around you and you will find it almost everywhere, one of the basic building block of 21st century, steel. Steel is a primary mixture of iron and carbon (carbon content 0.2% and 2.1% by weight depending on the grade) but, the desired physical and mechanical properties of steel can be achieved by adding various metals like Silicon, titanium, vanadium, molybdenum, chromium, manganese etc. That's why steel is suitable for various applications like, building a small needle to a massive and complected mega machines but, it's not the only reason steel is so popular. It is popular because it's an iron alloy and iron is one of the most abundant element of planet Earth. It forms much of earth's outer and inner core.

But ever wondered where does the iron comes from?

Regenerative Medicine - Science Fiction Or Fact !

Regenerative medicine is the process of replacing or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish structures and functions absent or lost due to congenital defects, ageing, disease or damage. Due to  advancement in medical science, it is possible to understand the human genome (a full set of chromosomes, all the inheritable traits of an organism.), thus using body's own mechanisms to heal itself.

BMW - GINA

BMW  has taken the concept of mobility to a whole new level where they have challenged various aspects of a car starting from it's conventional design patterns to it's manufacturing needs and processes. The outcome was a revolutionary new concept 'GINA'. The GINA principle lies within a new idea that is "Geometry and Functions In “N” Adaptions". The goal of this concept is to break free from the so called wisdom of making a car and to design the shape and functionality of a car in 'N' ways or infinite different ways.

How about a resort in space - Sounds exciting !

Space pioneer Sir Richard Branson and his company Virgin Galactic is planning to establish a space resort for tourists where you can buy a stay of of your dreams.

Orgasm at the push of a button !

Dr. T. Stuart Meloy , M.D. is Medical Director of Advanced Interventional Pain Management (AIPM). In simple terms, he deals with pain management. He was in the operating room one day, implanting electrodes into a patient's spinal cord to treat her chronic leg pain. The electrodes are connected to a generator that sends impulses to the brain to block pain signals. But when he turned on the power, "the patient suddenly let out something between a shriek and moan and she was hyperventilating " says Dr. Meloy himself.

Then he asked what was wrong, she replied, "You'll have to teach my husband how to do that."

And that's how the Orgasmatron was born. The name of the machine was taken from Woody Allen's 1973 movie Sleeper.
