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
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
Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries worldwide, and political polling is no exception. As traditional polling methods encounter challenges such as low response rates and potential inaccuracies, AI offers a new frontier by synthesizing public opinion from various data sources and creating nuanced models.
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: 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
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
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: 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
