Here on Earth, we hear about the environmental problems that littering can cause. What about littering in space? The problem may not seem very important because, frankly, we don’t spend much time in space (if any) compared to on Earth. Also, space is quite a vast space, for lack of a better word, and it [...]
Sometimes engineers and scientists are faced with a problem that is not easily solvable with an algorithm that leads to a definite answer. Perhaps the problem is very complex and has many components to it, or the inputs to the problem are not constant and could vary. When faced with a situation like this, Monte [...]
Have you ever wondered how teams of computer programmers create large-scale programs successfully without hindering other people’s work? There are rather simple tools that keep track of versions of code being developed. This is known as version control, and one popular version control software is Subversion. There are several features in version control software that [...]
When it comes to heat transfer science, two main types are conduction and convection. Heat transfer via conduction can occur in substance of any phase (solid, liquid, or gas), but is mostly seen in solids. On the other hand, convective heat transfer occurs only in fluids (liquids and gases). Both types of heat transfer are [...]
There have not been many things designed to be as functional and and convenient as contact lenses, especially for those that need them. Those that use them can attribute to that. However, it definitely seems stunning that mankind has created a device small enough to place ONTO OUR EYE (specifically the cornea) which makes things [...]
