Written by: Arun Muthukkumar Just a few days ago, we found the new largest known prime number: 2^136279841 – 1. The search for large prime numbers has fascinated mathematicians for centuries due to their importance in number theory, cryptography, and computer science. Prime numbers, defined
Written by Maneth Perera Our universe is a vast void filled with countless planets, stars, galaxies, and other objects. Now, through modern advances in technology, researchers are learning how to unlock the secrets of the formation of the universe. To do this, they developed
It’s difficult to define what a propeller blade is. If it’s just the shape of it, then it could be said that a screw is a propeller, though screws are rarely used as a device of propulsion. If it’s just something that converts rotational motion
Written by: Jonathan Handjojo Imagine a world where materials don’t just hold their shape after being printed—they evolve, transforming in response to their environment. This is the world of 4D printing, a groundbreaking innovation that builds on the capabilities of traditional 3D printing by introducing
Written by: Sahasra Janagama Neuromuscular diseases involve the loss of connection between the nervous system and the muscles and there are various types of neuromuscular diseases. Among them, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the rarest, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy is one of the most common.
A reusable launch vehicle is defined by a ScienceDirect paper as a rocket that can be recovered and launched multiple times (Kasselouri, Patroklos, & Tsikopoulos, 2023). Smaller parts like engines and boosters can also be reused, reducing launch costs significantly. In recent years, companies like
Written by: Sahasra Janagama Rheumatoid Arthritis, or RA is the most common type of arthritis, although it’s usually given the title of “wear and tear” or “old age disease”, the breakdown of the joints is caused by pain, swelling, and soreness of bone which increases
Written by: Claudia Kowal For years, scientists have attempted to find a transitional species between aquatic and land vertebrates. Without this species, there seemed to be a gap in the evolutionary tree: the first organisms on Earth lived in water, but many evolved to live
Written by: Arun Muthukkumar Pick’s Theorem is a fascinating, elegant formula that relates the area of a simple polygon with lattice points to the number of lattice points on its boundary and in its interior. This simple yet profound result connects geometry and number theory,
Written by: Jonathan Handjojo In a groundbreaking achievement, researchers at the Google DeepMind team have unveiled AlphaGeometry, an artificial intelligence (AI) system that rivals human Olympiad gold medalists in solving complex geometry problems. The development signifies a significant leap forward in the capabilities of AI
