A Scientific Perspective

Marie Curie Gather round eager minds, today we discuss one of the most influential women in modern science, her name inspires confidence in women as she left behind a legacy of scientific truths and empowerment during times when women were barely allowed to participate in science. We are of course talking about Madam Marie Curie . The proud Polish woman immortalized forever in the scientific literature. Born in Warshow on the 7th of November 1867, of the well-known teachers Bronislawa Boguska and Wladyslaw Sklodowska, it is not a secret that her family was knowledgeable one which may be perhaps where her curiosity stemmed from. As her family lost property through Polish national uprisings, condemning her siblings to a rough start on life. As conditions worsened with her father losing his job and her mother passing away, she found herself slipping down the spiral of depression and it did not help that any attempts made by her to get into educational institutions for higher st

LAURA G , founder and author at the BINGE WATCHING QUEEN just nominated me, A SCIENTIFIC  PERSPECTIVE , for the LIEBSTER AWARD. Thank you, Laura G, it is a great owner to be nominated by a blogger who’s Blogging Niche is totally different from mine. So, if you were wondering what is this LIEBSTER AWARD, Source Blog for Nomination: Click Here It was created to recognize and/or discover new bloggers and welcome them to the great blogging community. Now, I accepted this nomination for two reasons.        1)       Firstly, I am like 3 weeks old blogger, hence I needed a platform so that I could be recognized within this community.        2)     Secondly, behind this blogging idea, there is a vision and that is giving a platform to those aspiring young science enthusiasts to share their own scientific ideas because nobody knows from where another Degrasse Tyson comes, or a new Bill Nye appears. Hope you people get it. So, without further ado, I am going to follow

Hey, Guys! In this blog, I'll be talking about my one of the favorite topics related to metallurgy "Age Hardening"   Aluminum Alloys are extensively used in the world with their most important use in vehicle, aerospace and defense sector because of their lightweight and exceptional strength due to Age Hardening effect, but their use and strengthening process is still very out of specific and other heat treatment processes, new discoveries and new Al alloys are much neglected industrially and on a research-level. Aluminum is a soft metal with a tensile strength of 8-11 MPa but its alloys have a strength of 200-400 MPa. Aluminum Alloys are extensively used industrially after Steel because of their extreme shear and tensile strength. The main reason behind this spectacular increase in strength of Al Alloys is because of Age Hardening effect. Age hardening effect was discovered in 1906 by Alfred William and its correct explanation and procedure were proposed by Merica, Walte

Neil Degrasse Tyson “The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.” Astrophysics is a branch of astronomical sciences which employs the concepts of physics and chemistry to make sure of the nature of heavenly bodies. This branch of science may seem a little boring, time-consuming, even for some people it is a waste of time but some people study this field, spend their lives exploring the universe. Then there comes a guy who is an actor, writer, a TV show host and an Astrophysicist “Neil Degrasse Tyson”. He is a great science communicator, most of his published books are best sellers. Yes, he is a scientist yet he is one of the most influential people on Earth. This guy instead of being popular for some scientific achievement is popular for his ability to popularize science. He is a philosopher and not an ordinary philosopher but he makes people love Astronomy and make people love science and accept it. “Welcome to the Universe: An Astro

Have you ever wondered how these paints, glass windows, and fabric companies claim that their material is self-cleaning and lasts for years? Maybe yes or maybe no. Such upgrades in these everyday use items are due to the “Self-Cleaning Technology” a wonder of Nano-Technology (Manipulation of atoms and molecules at a nanoscale). Nanotechnology has been a hot topic for researchers in materials engineering, electrical engineering, physics, and much more on for a couple of decades now. This technology is doing wonders and maybe is going to change this world in the coming time. In addition, the speed with which this technology is growing and giving breakthroughs every day maybe our generation or the next generation will be able to witness the “Future”. Lotus Leaf: The incredible property of Lotus leaf (on the left) is self-cleaning is the basis of self-cleaning. The microstructure (on the right) represents the grooves on the leaf which is the reason behind this property. Self-Cleanin

Last year, on February 11 the team of LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave-Observatory) the USA gave humanity a great discovery which gave scientists a portal to investigate this huge universe in a totally different way (Cofield, 2016). This was the day when the LIGO team announced the discovery of “Gravitational Waves” and we must say a great tribute to 100 years of General Relativity. These waves formed when two black holes circulated each other and finally collided. The reason why this was a huge discovery is it changed science, it nullified some very old concepts and proved some new. Although the possibility of gravitational waves was discussed by Oliver Heaviside in 1893 since gravity and electricity obeys inverse square law (O, 1893), Henri Poincaré in 1905 also proposed the concept of gravitational waves using Lorentz Transformation (Poincare, 1905), but it was properly described by Einstein in 1916 based on his theory of General Relativity. Since then scientists have
