Does the Size of the Wheel Affect the Velocity of a Rolling Vehicle? Have you ever wondered if the size of the wheel affects how fast a vehicle rolls down a hill? Specifically, let’s say you’re sitting on a skateboard, and you’re traveling downhill powered purely by gravity. Would the size of the wheels have …

Practical Uses of Antimatter in the Present When we hear the term “antimatter,” the first things that come to our minds are movies and science-fiction stories. But surprisingly, antimatter has been a part of scientific studies and practical applications for many years now. In this article, we will explore the current practical uses of antimatter, …

In this article, I will be discussing the main practical applications of a Bose-Einstein condensate. Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) is closely related to superconductivity, and the primary application of atomic BEC systems is in basic research areas at the moment. Simulation of condensed matter systems One of the hottest areas in BEC at the moment is …

How Does the Kinect Device Work? The Kinect device, developed by Microsoft for use with their Xbox gaming console, has been touted as a revolutionary device that can track and respond to human movements in real-time without the need for a game controller. But how does this device work? Some explanations of the device base …

Cladding of Optical Fibers Optical fibers are an important technology used to transmit information through pulses of light. A crucial component of optical fibers is the cladding, which is used to ensure that the optical guiding characteristics of the fibers continue to work in real world conditions. What is Cladding? Cladding is the material layer …

Why Should Optical Fibers Be Thin? Optical fibers are thin and small in radius for a reason. Understanding why they need to be thin requires a basic understanding of how they function. Optical fibers use light to transmit information over long distances at incredible speeds. The thinner the fiber, the more channels it can accommodate …

When it comes to high rotational speeds, dental drills have always been cutting edge technology. In fact, modern dental drills can reach more than 180 000 rotations per minute (rpm). For comparison, household drills operate at around 1000 rpm. But why do dental drills need to spin so fast? This question has been puzzling many people, and …
