Light is Essential. Here’s Why
  Light is almost synonymous with life. We're so hopelessly dependant on massless photons - at the most fundamental level through photosynthesis, light from the sun enables the existence of life itself. On the more sophisticated scale - the modern age is again hopelessly dependant on optics. Optics enables the internet, weather and climate monitoring, fabrication of computer chips,…

The Science behind Auroras
Our planet is a witness to multiple natural phenomena - biological, chemical or optical. Aurora is primarily some gorgeous physics at play - but we'd also classify it as an optical phenomenon. Predominantly observed in high latitude regions, regions possessing a weak magnetic field, auroras are a natural light spectacle in the sky. Imagine it as a colourful…

Our origins on this planet, the workings of the environment and the quirks in nature have been intriguing puzzles for us since time immemorial. There still remain a plethora of unanswered questions but one thing that can be observed surely is Change. Everything on our planet undergoes some degree of change– planned or otherwise. This…

Biology
Why haven’t we begun human cloning yet?
The term ‘clone’ was first used by J.B.S Haldane, a British biologist, in 1963. A ‘clone’ is a genetic copy of an organism, and ‘cloning’ involves the various processes used to create clones. Cloning is actually a very common process of reproduction for micro-organisms and plants. Reproduction isn't truly cloning when it comes to multicellular…

The Hype Behind Quantum Entanglement
The framework of modern physics largely rests on two pillars, namely General Relativity (which is celebrating its centenary this year), and Quantum Mechanics. Albert Einstein not only formulated the theory of relativity but was also one of the pioneers in the development of Quantum Theory, exploring the fascinating realm of quantum entanglement. However, it is…

The Science Behind Sleep
We spend about a third of our lives in slumber. Before advances in neuroscience and biology, it was believed that a sleeping person is a passive, dormant being. Now we know that our body, especially our brains work over-time during our sleeping phase, furiously making and breaking neural connections. Sleeping is not just an act of retreat…
