Dark Matter vs Anti Matter vs Negative Matter
Matter is anything that has mass and takes space. But apart from the ‘normal’ matter, there are different other forms of hypothesized matter. A few examples include Dark Matter, Anti…
The Four Fundamental Forces of Nature
The Four Fundamental Forces of Nature are Gravitational force, Weak Nuclear force, Electromagnetic force and Strong Nuclear force. The weak and strong forces are effective only over a very short range…
Fermions and Bosons : Particles Which Make The Universe
There are possibly only two classes of ‘particles’ in the universe – Fermions and Bosons. All elementary particles (Quarks, Leptons, Guage Bosons, Static Bosons etc.) will fall under either of…
Classical Mechanics vs Quantum Mechanics
In this universe there are huge objects like planets and stars. There are also sub-atomic particles like protons and neutrons. You may note that at sub-atomic sizes, the wave nature…
Rate of Expansion of Universe is not decreasing, but increasing due to Dark Energy!
It had always been assumed that the matter of the Universe would slow its rate of expansion. Mass creates gravity, gravity creates pull, the pulling must slow the expansion. But supernovae observations…
The Big Bang Theory
Big Bang Theory is about the origin of Universe. It suggests that about 1370 crore (13.7 billion) years ago, all matter and energy in the universe was concentrated into an…
Nuclear Chemistry Basics Explained
Atomic number (Z) Atomic number is the number of protons or electrons present in an atom (for every atom, the number of proton and electron are same). Eg: Nitrogen (N)…
Chemistry Basics – Atoms, Molecules, Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures
Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, properties and change of matter . Chemistry is chiefly concerned with atoms (a basic unit in chemistry) and their interactions with other atoms. Atoms An atom is a basic…
Interdisciplinary Dependency Of Biotechnology
Biotechnology is dependent on many disciplines and techniques for accumulation of data, its organization and analysis. Some of these disciplines are mentioned below: Biological Engineering Biological Engineering is an interdisciplinary…
Genetically Modified Organisms
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are organisms whose genetic materials have been altered using genetic engineering techniques to provide the organisms with certain special characteristics. GMOs can include plants, animals and…
