How Do Fuel Cells Work
April 8th, 2008. Published under Science. No Comments.
Fuel Cells are important emerging technologies today and have the potential to successfully replace the currently employed fossil fuels, towards a cleaner, greener, more efficient and more capable source of energy. They have the potential to generate power to run automobiles and hence replace the ubiquitous Internal Combustion engine and also provide for the running […]
A GPS System Will Take You Anywhere
April 8th, 2008. Published under Science. No Comments.
The GPS (Global Positioning System) is a “constellation” of 24 well-spaced satellites that orbit the Earth and make it possible for people with ground receivers to pinpoint their geographic location. The location accuracy is anywhere from 1 to 100 meters depending on the type of equipment used. The GPS is owned and operated by the […]
Making Haste with Waste
April 8th, 2008. Published under Science. No Comments.
One of the major sources of biomass is waste, in all its organic form and splendor. Our society has away of producing tons and tons of waste in all possible forms and anything organic in that waste tumbling out of our garbage bags. Biogas is important simply because we are out to set this waste […]
A Look Into The Cosmos: How Telescopes Work
April 8th, 2008. Published under Science. No Comments.
Once Galileo discovered the telescope, there was a sudden leap from fantasy and legends to reality. And reality was so much more fantastic than the world had ever dreamed of. So quickly, planets and stars which were specks in the sky, some of them not even visible to the naked eye, came close and shared […]
A Brief History Of Everything

I was wondering about how everything we know came together to be the way it is right now and what will happen to us as a species.
The story of everything started 15 billion years ago.
The universe, as we know it, was created by an enormous explosion of matter to create space-time. […]
Function of Enzymes as Biological Catalysts
April 8th, 2008. Published under Science. No Comments.
What’s so crucial about enzymes? Are they life-sustaining unit of the living organism? No, yet they can’t be ignored from life’s existence. As long as life is present on earth, the enzymes will retain their importance. Enzymes are basically proteins existing in chain-like structure in the form of amino acids. And in the body cells […]
How is Enzyme Action Regulated in a Body Cell
April 8th, 2008. Published under Science. No Comments.
It’s very interesting. On one hand you know enzymes function as catalysts. So they are responsible for regulating and controlling any chemical reaction. But doesn’t this strike to your mind whether something is required to regulate the enzymatic actions as well? Of course, a control mechanism is also set to operate the activities of enzymes.
Exemplifying […]
