Antimatter

Antimatter is the stuff of science fiction. In the book and film Angels and Demons, Professor Langdon tries to save Vatican City from an antimatter bomb. Star Trek’s starship Enterprise uses matter-antimatter annihilation propulsion for faster-than-light travel.

But antimatter is also the stuff of reality. Antimatter particles are almost identical to their matter counterparts except that they carry the opposite charge and spin. When antimatter meets matter, they immediately annihilate into energy.

While antimatter bombs and antimatter-powered spaceships are far-fetched, there are still many facts about antimatter that will tickle your brain cells.

Merge AI with Brain

Elon Musk wants us to merge with AI and now you can put a chip in your brain that controls your devices via Bluetooth. After two years of development, Musk's startup Neuralink unveiled system consists of a chip implant and a hearing aid-like device. 

The chip implant uses "threads" consisting of ultra-thin electrodes that a robot can sew into the subject brain. The thread would transmit data to the hearing aid-like device before it relays to the connected device. 

Theoretically, the threads implanted can connect the users' brain wirelessly to their phones or computers, enabling them to control devices with mere thoughts. This could change the lives of prosthetics users and patients in a persistent vegetative state. 

Neuralink demonstrated the technology on lab rats, and the company plans to work on humans next year.

First person to die in space

Who was the first person to die in space?

In 1967 Vladimir M. Komarov became the first person to die on a space mission when parachutes on his Soyuz 1 capsule failed to open during descent. 6 The three crew members of Soyuz 11 suffocated on June 30, 1971, due to a faulty air valve. They are, so far, the only people to die in outer space.Apr 27, 2006.

Who are Vladimir M. Komarov ?

Vladimir Mikhaylovich Komarov was a Soviet test pilot, aerospace engineer, and cosmonaut. In October 1964, he commanded Voskhod 1, the first spaceflight to carry more than one crew member.

What happened to Vladimir Komarov?

His spaceflight on Soyuz 1 made him the first Soviet cosmonaut to fly into outer space more than once, and he became the first human to die on a space mission—he was killed when the Soyuz 1 space capsule crashed after re-entry on April 24, 1967 due to a parachute failure.

What is SCIENCE?

The word "Science" probably brings to mind many different pictures: a fat textbook, white lab coats and microscopes, an astronomer peering through a telescope, a naturalist in the rainforest, Einstein's equations scribbled on a chalkboard, the launch of the space shuttle, bubbling beakers …. All of those images reflect some aspect of science, but none of them provides a full picture because science has so many facets:

These images all show an aspect of science, but a complete view of science is more than any particular instance. Science is both a body of knowledge and a process. In school, science may sometimes seem like a collection of isolated and static facts listed in a textbook, but that's only a small part of the story. Just as importantly, science is also a process of discovery that allows us to link isolated facts into coherent and comprehensive understandings of the natural world. Science is exciting. Science is a way of discovering what's in the universe and how those things work today, how they worked in the past, and how they are likely to work in the future. Scientists are motivated by the thrill of seeing or figuring out something that no one has before. Science is useful. The knowledge generated by science is powerful and reliable. It can be used to develop new technologies, treat diseases, and deal with many other sorts of problems. Science is ongoing. Science is continually refining and expanding our knowledge of the universe, and as it does, it leads to new questions for future investigation. Science will never be "finished." Science is a global human endeavour. People all over the world participate in the process of science. And you can too! Science (from Latin Scientia, meaning "knowledge")is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. From classical antiquity through the 19th century, science as a type of knowledge was more closely linked to philosophy. In the West, the term natural philosophy encompassed fields of study that are currently associated with disciplines such as classical physics, astronomy and medicine and was a precursor of modern natural sciences (life science and physical science).  In the 17th and 18th centuries, scientists increasingly sought to formulate knowledge in terms of laws of nature. Over the centuries, the term science became associated with the scientific method, a systematic way of studying the natural world and particularly in the 19th century, multiple distinguishing characteristics of contemporary modern science began to take shape.
