Scutoid-A new geometrical shape scientist discovered
Ever since microbiology started investigating and analyzing the shapes and behavior of cells, they started coming across different shapes and sizes of the cell. Some have a polygonal structure, while some have fixed geometrical boundaries. When an epithelial cell was magnified and observed under a microscope, then a new geometrical figure was seen, the scientist named this shape as Scutoid shapes. The reason epithelial cell looks in this shape was because of inside cellular contents and outside structure of the cell. They also observed that cell pack together because of this structure. Initially, it was thought that cell could be packed tightly only in rectangular structure. However, this invention can open new doors to making artificial organs or fake limbs for the treatment of a paralyzed person.

Ceramic Substrates
Ceramic substrate refers to a special process board where the copper foil is directly bonded to the surface (single side or double side) of alumina (Al2O3) or aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramic substrate at high temperature. Compared with traditional FR-4 or aluminum substrate, the ultra-thin composite substrate made has excellent electrical insulation performance, high thermal conductivity, excellent soft solderability, and high adhesion strength, and can be etched various graphics like the PCB, with great current carrying capacity. It is suitable for products with high heat generation (high-brightness LED, solar energy), and its excellent weather resistance is more suitable for harsh outdoor environments.

Is Perpetuation Nonsense?. Part 2
It's not to mention the emanated creaking noise - another "loss-proof", for sound is as much an energy form. After all, a perpetual motion machine is, to any extent, futile, let alone the generation of any actual thermodynamic work.

The Interdisciplinary Nature of Studying the History of Science
The origins of various sciences are dependent on existence of other fields of science. A single experiment can lead to the creation of a whole new field, which is true in the case of very important discoveries. Although there are perceived and documented pressures on some groups of individuals, those situations frequently lead to important discoveries being made by unexpected individuals, like Galileo, who worked on the fringes of science.

This is how can you be Be Next Einstein : A Practical Guide To Making A Scientific Breakthrough.
Albert Einstein has been one of the most celebrated scientists of all time. It is funny, that his ideas are also, among the most difficult to understand, and many people do not quite know what he did, and how he did all those things. It is the mystery of not knowing how the mind of a scientist works, that creates an aura of greatness. It takes years of study, everlasting passion and a great deal of luck, to come up with something worth celebrating.

Is Perpetuation Nonsense?
On November 12, 1717, Johann Bessler, a German watchmaker, placed a strange wheel of a 4-meter-diameter in a closed room. With a slight pushing motion, the bizarre machine began spinning. Johann confidently walked out of the room. After that, he got the guards to seal and lock it for the following two weeks. No interference was allowed.

COVID-19 lockdowns significantly impacting global air quality
Levels of two major air pollutants have been drastically reduced since lockdowns began in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but a secondary pollutant -- ground-level ozone -- has increased in China, according to new research.

Complete Guide For Time Travelling
Traveling through time may be theoretically possible, but it is beyond our present technological capabilities. But first of all what is time? Most of us think that it is constant, but Albert Einstein has clearly showed us that time is an illusion, or is relative and it depends on different observers depending on your speed through space.

Time Travel Irony: Why Neil deGrasse Tyson Needs To And Take His Own Advice
"One of the great challenges in this world is knowing enough about a subject to think you're right but not enough about the subject to know you're wrong." - Neil deGrasse Tyson

How to move faster than light…Without even moving.
One of the reasons why humans have become an advanced species in this harsh planet is our ability to travel. Traveling has enabled humans to inhabit some of the remotest places on Earth. Humans are nothing but fragile brains capable of moving through space. So when it comes to the speed at which humans can travel, is there a limit?

The Past of Present
"The future depends on what we do in the present" by Ghandi is perhaps one of the most famous quotes there are regarding living in the moment. However, reality challenges the concept of the present in ways physicists have only recently begun to understand.

5 most mind blowing physics facts that will surely give you long lasting goosebumps
1. A paper folded 42 times would reach moon. Yes ,it is true that if you are able to fold a paper 42 times then you could technically reach moon. This might be most amazing things you have heard and this works in such a way that when you fold a piece paper , then everytime it's thickness would increase .
