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.

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
Imagine a shape so intricate that it reveals infinite complexity as you zoom in on a structure where patterns repeat endlessly at every scale. These mesmerizing forms, known as fractals, defy traditional geometric conventions and open a gateway to understanding natural patterns. From the jagged
Written by: Sahasra Janagama What is Dopamine? Is it just a “feel-good” hormone, or is there more than what meets the eye? Dopamine is usually associated with a surge of energy, but it plays various roles involving movement, memory, mood, and motivation. It’s a neurotransmitter
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
