What is a quartz clock? At its core, a quartz clock is a device that uses energy from a quartz crystal to display time, regulated by a timekeeping mechanism. What is the mechanism allowing quartz clocks to measure time accurately,…
As stimulating as this constant is to the retention of memory, it holds a special place in fields outside alphabetical membership. Particularly, there’s no arguing that Euler’s number has its fair set of applications. It’s the base of the natural…
We have reached a point where timekeeping IQ has become standard for the function of everyday systems. Advances in laser spectroscopy and atom manipulation methods have driven the pursuit for better performing atomic clocks, clocks which, in their states of…
When you think of “fruit juice” you probably think of something that contains, well, fruit. You think of an easy way to eat those precious two servings of fruit per day (we all know in this day and age there…
Your brain: The world’s most complex computer, capable of holding millions of memories, thoughts, feelings and emotions, for years scientists have studied the brain to find out it’s secrets and many parts of it remain unknown even to this day….
Calling all students! You can now use your hands in soccer! Well, almost. Introducing: Handball – a fun, fast-flowing game in which teams of six (guys, gals, and nonbinary pals) work to score as many goals as possible before the…
We all know the States of Matter taught in our high school classes: Solid, Liquid, Gas, and even more eccentric states like Superfluids, Bose-Einstein Condensates, neutron-degenerate matter, and many more. However, In the last few years, growing curiosity and peculiarity…
“The beauty of mathematics only shows itself to more patient followers.”– Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017) Throughout history, women have played a pivotal role in changing our world with their discoveries and research in STEM. Therefore, it is essential to shed light…
Same DNA, different human races. How do we decide where we belong, relying on a biological or a demographic basis? That is an issue in which a lot of elements come into play, hence resulting in an ambiguous definition. The…
Vera Rubin’s promising Proof of Dark Matter We are harbouring in a massive spiral galaxy that seems to be achieving its impossible feat. It is rotating in a speed that the amount of gravity generated by observable matters are insufficient…
