Lost in Space
I always wanted to be an astronaut, to go see what outer space felt like. The charm of adventure. I thought I might become a NASA Intern or an Astronaut, or if not that, maybe get a Job as an Astrophysicist there. Those privileges are just for US Citizens, I came to know when I actually applied for it. Well that's a sad story. Isn't it?

BLACK HOLES AND GALAXIES COEXISTED IN EARLY UNIVERSE
Like a lot of folks my age, the first time I heard the term “Black Hole” was because of the 1979 Disney film with that title. It was kind of a “me-too” version of Star Wars and Star Trek, the critics panned it, and nobody seems to remember it anymore.

E.coli, the next Raspberry Pi?
Imagine a scenario where — tiny living robots work inside of your body, sensing and delivering life-saving drugs, or deploying them out to hostile environments, from the sea to even outer space, again, sensing and delivering and monitoring various useful things [15,6]. But even more interestingly, imagine if these robots were actually living bacteria, such as E.coli? As far-fetched as this may sound, the reality is probably a little closer than you think. In the realm of IoT, or more precisely, the Internet of Bacterial Things (IoBT), researchers have been making advances in making this into reality.

HARNESSING RENEWABLE ENERGY OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS AFRICA
Harnessing renewable energy opportunities across Africa holds immense potential for sustainable development, economic growth, and energy access. With abundant solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal resources, Africa can capitalize on these clean energy sources to meet its energy needs while reducing carbon emissions. Initiatives such as expanding solar photovoltaic installations, developing wind farms, investing in hydropower projects, and exploring geothermal energy can drive job creation, improve energy security, and mitigate climate change impacts across the continent. Collaboration between governments, private sector entities, and international organizations is crucial to unlocking Africa's renewable energy potential and achieving a more sustainable future.
