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
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: Maneth Perera The vast amounts of empty space between stars may not be so empty after all. Dark matter is a theorized invisible substance that fills in these gaps, and it’s discussed extensively in the Lambda Cold Dark Matter Model (ΛCDM for short)

In the field of nanotechnology, quantum dots, also called “semiconductor nanocrystals”, are semiconductor particles a few nanometres in size with optical and electronic properties that differ from those of larger particles via quantum mechanical effects. Quantum dots (QDs) are renowned for their ability to exhibit
Traveling faster than light – or as scientists call it, FTL – has long been a staple of science fiction; but according to Einstein’s theory of relativity, it’s an impossible task. However, new research proposes several methods through which FTL travel might be possible .
