History of nuclear energy Uranium was first discovered in 1789 by Martin Klaproth. However, ionising radiation, discovered by Wilhelm Rontgen, was used to further the research in beta radiation. Pierre and Marie later went…

Technological revolution of the last few decades would have been a daydream if not for the discovery of semiconductors. Semiconductors form a crucial component of almost everything from light bulbs to smartphones and satellites.…

There is almost no one who has not experienced the vivid visual treat of a 3D movie. Every one of us at one point of time or other must have questioned how the scientific…

Bernoulli’s principle in classical mechanics is limited to fluids which are non-viscous and non-compressible and flows which are streamlined; it gives us a very interesting insight regarding the motion of fluids. It is derived…

A flow of charge is current, and hindrance to this flow is called as resistance. Resistance requires energy for the current to pass through a conductor and hence a power supply is needed to…

As we have seen in the article “Electricity and Magnetism”, moving charges or electricity was producing magnetic fields. The next obvious question to ask would be the contrary. Would magnetic fields or changing magnetic…

We have acknowledged the presence of charges since antiquity. We knew then that when cat fur was rubbed on an amber it produced one kind of charge and rubbing silk on glass rod produced…

The laws of classical mechanics, which encompass enough physics to send man to moon, failed to comprehend the peculiar behavior of the atomic and sub-atomic world. One such peculiarity is the wave-particle duality. American…

Anything that flows is called as fluid. In this sense liquids and gases are both considered as fluid. The study of properties of fluid at rest and fluids in motion is called Fluid Mechanics.…
