Celebrating the creation of life in every way possible

In a society where motherhood is often defined by a fixed sequence of events, including marriage and childbirth within a specific age range, science once again gifted society the alternate path through ‘in vitro fertilisation’ (IVF), therefore empowering women to embrace motherhood later in life. 

The impact of AI on enhancing EV performance and efficiency

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the automotive landscape, offering significant environmental and economic advantages, from reduced emissions to lower maintenance costs. The global transition toward EVs is accelerating, with nearly 14 million new electric cars registered in 2023 alone, bringing the worldwide total to 40 million, as per the International Energy Agency.

Understanding pathogenicity and virulence of pathogenic microorganisms

Pathogenicity is the potential capacity of certain species of microbes to cause an infectious process. It is characterised by a complex of pathogenic properties in the microbe formed in the process of the historical development of the struggle for existence and adaptation to parasitic life in plant, animal and human organisms. Pathogenicity is a specific characteristic of pathogenic microbes.

The role of recycling precious metals from e-waste in powering EVs future

As the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions accelerates, electric vehicles (EVs) have become central to this transformation. However, the rapid expansion of the EV market presents significant challenges, particularly in managing the growing volume of electronic waste (e-waste).

The role of capsular material in bacterial virulence & bacterial aggressins

Some pathogenic microorganisms (bacilli of anthrax, Clostridium perfringens, S. pneumoniae, causative agents of plague and tularaemia) are capable of producing a capsule in animal and human bodies. Certain microorganisms produce capsules in the organism as well as in nutrient media (causative agents of rhinoscleroma, ozaena, and pneumonia).

India set to dominate global renewable energy markets with rising renewable capacity

As per the Indian Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Mr Pralhad Joshi, India's capacity has almost quadrupled from just 76 GW in 2014 to 200 GW in June 2024. Not just that, solar energy has seen particularly remarkable growth, growing from just 3 GW at the time to a staggering 85 GW in the present.

My ten most favourite laws of physics

After some thought, I decided to base my list on the spiritual implications of the laws. Such associations suggest that these laws (applicable to inert objects in physics) are perhaps special cases of more far-reaching principles applicable to our entire existence.
