Linking Brains and Machines: Neuralink’s Bold Vision

Written by: Sahasra Janagama Neuralink was a company founded by Elon Musk and made its debut in 2016 as a device that will revolutionize the treatment of neurological disorders. The Tesla CEO wanted to create a brain-machine interface (BMI) that aids people with damage in

Using Quantum Computing Algorithms to Analyze Gene Networks

SYNGAP-1 related disorders (SRD) is a rare genetic disorder caused by a variant on the SYNGAP-1 gene. SRD typically expresses itself in early childhood in the form of epilepsy, global development delay, severe behavioral problems, and a multitude of other complications. Understanding the mechanisms of

Cruciality of the Zero-Knowledge Proof in Blockchain

You tell your friend that you know the password to his phone but he doesn’t believe you and tells you to prove it to him. With other people around, you wish to preserve his privacy and decide not to reveal his password. How can you

The Technology Revolution in Agriculture

Introduction As the holiday season comes to a close, many New Year’s resolutions center around food—whether it’s eating healthier, supporting local produce, or practicing mindful eating. Yet, while food plays an essential role in our daily lives, many people overlook the journey it takes to

What is a Winglet and Why Should You Care?

Winglets are small upward-bending extensions located at the ends of commercial aircraft wings. These enhancements, which initially seemed insignificant, transformed modern aviation by boosting aerodynamic efficiency and decreasing fuel usage. These designs decrease induced drag, which are vortices created at the wingtip during flight, by

The Big Bang of Primes

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

Why do Propeller Blades all look the Same?

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

4D Printing: The Next Step in Manufacturing

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
