Written by: Maneth Perera Everyday, new evidence regarding the structure of our universe is uncovered, leading to researchers revising mathematical models over decades to perfectly describe their observations. The widely accepted foundational model of our universe is called the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (CDM)
Written by: Jonathan Handjojo Imagine a single framework that would be capable of explaining everything in the universe, a theory that ties together everything from the smallest quarks to the vast galaxies, bridging the laws of physics. This idea, often referred to as the “Theory
Written by: Arun Muthukkumar Quantum computing has revolutionized the field of computer science, offering groundbreaking advancements in problem-solving and computational power. However, its potential depends on the intent of those who wield it. Once quantum computers reach maturity, their ability to break current encryption models
Written by: Maneth Perera The Chernobyl Disaster is one of the worst nuclear disasters in human history. Around 160,000 km2 around the nuclear plant were affected, and large portions of Russia and Ukraine were rendered inhabitable for life. We see effects trickling down to
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
