Agrima Bhatt, Rajasthan University Geomagnetic field of the earth The magnetic field of the Earth is roughly a magnetic dipole, with the magnetic field S pole at the geographic north pole and the magnetic field N pole near the geographic south pole. A magnetic field is endlessly long, however, it starts to decrease as it […]
Subhajit Nan, Amity University, Kolkata Scientists seem to have discovered what exactly humanity needs to survive a post-apocalyptic scenario and the eventual destruction of the Earth: some ‘cryopreserved’ human embryo and ‘artificial’ wombs for their development. Introduction The advancement in science and technology has shown us that the Earth isn’t immortal. Over millions of years, […]
Sampriti Roy, University of Calcutta Sharks (Subclass: Elasmobranchii) are among those species that exhibit site fidelity, which means that no matter how far they migrate, they always find their way “home”(just like turtles). It has been speculated by scientists for some time now that migratory species like sharks can do this by using electrosensory organs […]
Sristi Raj Rai, Amity University Kolkata We still need to monitor our Earth for minute changes that occur, while we are wondering what NASA’s Perseverance rover is doing on Mars. A job of monitoring and reporting the data is essential for any study, whether done manually or by automated machines. When it comes to monitoring […]
Sampriti Roy, University of Calcutta In the images above, on the left, we see predicted change of ocean temperatures in 2050-2099 that’s relative to 1950-1999 by using an ensemble of climate models. On the right, we have predicted rainfall change in amplitude of rainfall fluctuations (year-to-year standard deviation) in 2050-2099 which’s relative to 1950-1999. When […]
-Sristi Raj Rai, Amity University Kolkata Aerosols are minute solid particle/liquid droplets suspended in atmospheric air or other gaseous phases. Various natural (volcanic eruptions, dust storms) and anthropogenic activities (air pollution) give rise to the formation of these aerosols. The particles acts as the core upon which water vapor condense, leading to cloud formation. These […]
Pratyushee Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata Every child has held out for the yellow crayon or marker when it’s time to illustrate the sun. This common perception results in articles. Like one in Sciworthy, “The yellow sun in our sky provides the sunshine and energy needed to sustain our planet.” Pretty forgivable, on condition that even astronomers confer with the sun as a “yellow […]
-Subhrajit Barua, ITMO University, St. Petersburg, Russia For numerous centuries, human beings have wondered how life came into existence. Many religious and philosophical ideologies have been put forward but none of them have been satisfactory. Some argue that life emerged on Earth itself from non-living chemical compounds through the process of abiogenesis. Many theories have […]
