Looks like a bubble in space - The Hubble Telescope

Image
The topic of telescopes is familiar very much today. So today let’s talk about the discovery and some facts about Hubble Space Telescope. Hubble telescope was named after an astronomer named Edwin P. Hubble , but the astronomer who played vital role in making of Hubble Space telescope and known as mother of Hubble is astronomer Nancy Roman . Manufacturing began in 1973. This was the time when we were facing problems in sending rockets out of the earth’s atmosphere. As we know the main part of a telescope is mirror. So in Hubble space telescope it was necessary to make an accurate mirror which give us a crystal clear image of an object. The Hubble telescope consist of two mirrors primary and secondary, if only primary mirror was used the size of telescope will be very large so in order to make it compact, secondary mirror was used which magnifies the coming light rays and focuses on the camera. To make that mirror NASA decided to tie up with a company named Perkin-Elmer. Th

Unique Materials.

Image
The topic today is Materials. First of all, Material is a broad term for a chemical substance or mixture of substances that constitute a thing. In the metaphysical sense, materials can be anything something else is consisting of, whether pure or impure, a singular composite or a complex mix, living or non-living matter, whether natural or man-made, either concrete or abstract. We all know about materials. They are selected on the basis of their properties and strength. Because of recent breakthroughs in the field of science, new materials are invented. The earth is also itself one type of material and on earth there are many material which are classified by their properties. The 4 types of materials having unique properties are:- 1) Liquid glass 2) Starlite 3) DMSO 4) Pykrete You may have heard about some of the above mentioned names. But let’s get into details, Liquid glass Properties: ·          Ultra thin layer ·          Eco friendly as it is made u

Adaptive Cruise Control System

Image
                To be an active member in the productive sector, you need to reach on time to your workplace. But with the increasing amount of automobiles, the traffic has also increased. So it is hard to cope up with slow-moving traffic when you are late. As a result, the number of accidents happening are also a way high than ever. To curb this, an AI called Adaptive Cruise Control System was developed. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an automotive feature that allows a vehicle's cruise control system to adapt the vehicle's speed to the traffic environment. A radar system attached to the front of the vehicle is used to detect whether slower moving vehicles are in the ACC vehicle's path. The driver sets the maximum speed — just as with cruise control — then a radar sensor watches for traffic ahead, locks on to the car in a lane, and instructs the car to stay 2, 3, or 4 seconds behind the person car ahead of it (the driv

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE

Image
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE Artificial intelligence is taking the automobile industry to hole new level by giving some new cool features and a comfort ride.The beauty of devices with artificial intelligence is that it tries to learn from sensory inputs like real sounds and images this sensor can capture live readings and acts accordingly. In the same way, when intelligence is applied to the technology within an automobile, it would recognize the environment and evaluate the contextual implications when it come across any type of obstacle. In 2015, the install rate of AI based systems in new vehicles was just 8%; this number is expected to 90-95% in 2025. This is because different kinds of AI systems will be installed in vehicles . Artif icial Intelligence driverless cars The thought behind driverless cars was around from the 1970s, so it is not entirely new. AI powered cars, presented in movies over the years, have always captured our imaginations. But the

Supernova

Image
       Supernova is not just a massive explosion formed due to death of huge star, to know what supernova is and how it is formed we should know the life cycle of star.        So, as we know any star in the universe run on hydrogen fuel which is similar to nuclear reactor in which the hydrogen atoms collide with each other and forms helium releasing heat and light. As heat and light are released the weight of helium will be less than hydrogen, but what happens when they run out of hydrogen? The star starts to contract becoming smaller. And, as the core of the star contracts, it gets hotter. This makes the upper layers of the star expand, and as the star expands, it turns into a red giant. When the core is hot enough the helium starts to transform into carbon, once the helium gets used up, the core expands and starts cooling down, similarly carbon transforms into oxygen and the process goes on.         The fusion process occurring in the star forms energy whose pressure is

The I, V and W in engines.

Image
Engine cylinders are typically arranged in a vertical orientation, lined up one after another from the front to the rear of the engine, or in a V-shaped orientation with an equal number of cylinders on each side. When engine cylinders are vertically oriented, the engine has an "inline" configuration, which is used in conjunction with 4, 5, or 6 cylinders. As all the cylinders are in a straight line, manufacturers sometimes refer Inline engine as the 'Straight Engine'. In line engine can have upto 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 cylinders. But cylinders more than 6 are very rare. Inline engines can easily accomodate odd number of cylinders like 3 or 5. The I-engine are most commonly used in commercial purpose as their manufacturing cost is low. A V engine, or Vee engine is a common configuration for an internal combustion engine. The cylinders and pistons are aligned, in two separate planes or 'banks', so that they appear to be in a "V" when viewed along th

Bio-Lasers

Image
A laser is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. The term "laser" originated as an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. Had any one ever thought that a quantum physicist will ever use jelly fish to produce lasers? Yeah, you heard right!! The new science is producing lasers from jelly fish. Lasers were first invented for many solutions and were further used in many fields like industrial, medical etc. Now scientist from the Scotland and Germany have developed a way to generate laser by using proteins. Initially the laser was generated by emitting light from an inert material which is monochromatic, coherent and unidirectional. Let’s put it simple. The conventional light is the crowd of people and laser is a hole marching army. Different materials produce different type of lasers and each laser has its own application. For example, red lasers
