Officials have designated brand-new prefixes that can be applied to units of measurement within the metric system for the first time in more than three decades. Four new prefixes, ronna, ronto, quetta, and quecto, will enable scientists to quantify the universe’s largest and smallest objects. Scientists voted on the new prefixes at the 27th meeting of the General Conference on Weights and Measures (GCWM), which took place in 2022 from November 15 to November 18 at Versailles Palace near Paris

If you look at the window sticker of an electric car, you will see its range rating. While that range is theoretically possible, it can differ by a lot in real-world conditions. There are several things to consider that could affect an electric vehicle’s range, and before you make the purchase, you need to have them in mind alongside the capacity of the car’s battery. Note that not everyone is suited to the lifestyle of using an electric vehicle, so,

Space travel, intelligent automation, and networks of neurons—modern technologies that were once the domain of science fiction are now being realized in labs all over the world. These ideas, if realized, have the potential to change our lives in ways that few of us can even imagine. The global pace of scientific development is faster than ever, and ideas and future technology concepts can spread like wildfire through digital communication.   As a result, we may be about to enter

Astronomy freaks must know all about the James Webb Space Telescope. But for those who don’t, the James Webb Space Telescope is a telescope in space conducting infrared astronomy. Being the largest optical telescope present in space currently, James Webb has high sensitivity and resolution that helps to find objects that are too distant, old, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. The launch of this telescope has pushed the limits of space exploration and blessed us with a lot

The first laptop ever created was the Osborne 1 in 1981. It was a bulky machine, weighing 25 pounds, with a five-inch screen and a hefty price tag of $1800. The invention was instantly popular, but as competitors came up with better machines, the Osborne series disappeared alogether within two years. For the last few years, laptops have witnessed exponential growth in terms of development, sleeker looks, and easy-to-carry designs. On top of this, a user could benefit from improved

We are always wary of handing our phones to strangers, in case they steal our personal information and data publicly. But according to recent reports, the repair staff at Google and Apple stores are guilty of doing that exactly, making people worried about getting their phones repaired. There are a number of high-profile victims of the data theft through repairmen, where a person sent in their phone for repairs and ended up getting their data breached of privacy and leaked

Scientists around the world are always looking for alternative efficient energy sources which are cost-effective and environmentally friendly. In their search for unique energy sources, scientists have also given thought to the idea of blood-powered batteries. Sounds strange? Here’s the science behind the idea: Won Hee Ryu, a Conservancy NatureNet Science Fellow,had an idea that there must be something in the blood chemistry, which can be utilized to increase efficiency of a lithium-oxygen battery. He specifically targeted the way oxygen
