Hide and Seek with the plants around you

The plants in your pot are ready to interact. A plant starts its life from seed, maybe from a spore, etc. So, can it talk to us if it is living? It can but not directly when we don’t water a plant, and it does dry up, indicating it requires to be hydrated. Do you know the oldest tree was the Prometheus, but it was cut down in 1964 when the tree aged about more than 4900 years? Another name on the list is the Pando, located in Fishlake National Forest in the US, which may be around a million years old.

A tree is outshining in the hill with full glory.

In the era of technology, plants also get advanced by smart gadgets, like using a moisture sensor, know if the soil is moist and does it require water or not. Also, many nature enthusiasts do find creative ways of plant saplings in a plastic bottle, reusing it rather than cluttering up in the ecosystem. The noticeable fact is that trees are being relentless cut for the development of a new area, timber production, and the ecosystem air quality is decreasing day by day. Now, let’s know what the actual matter is.

Dewdrops on the grass.

Researchers at a reserve tropical forest in Chamela-Cuixmala, Mexico from Europe and North America investigated around 28 different species of insects, 20 varieties of plants. They concluded that the plants hide with their chemical secretions to protect themselves from insects. The plants are already vulnerable due to human intervention and now evolved itself to protect from other intruders too. The actual working which got noticed was that the plants try to smell like the neighboring plant by its volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A herbivore may not be able to distinguish the favorite plant by its smell. This phenomenon happens because plants are at the lowest level of a food chain, it cannot fulfill all expectations, even the plants can vanish all of a sudden, but this won’t happen in reality until some worse scenarios do pop up in the environment.

Similarly, the smell emitted by the plants also works for insects such as caterpillars that eat plants. They distinguish between edible and toxic plants and try to avoid feeding them to themselves by the sense of their smell. In 2018, during the rainy season, the scientists searched up for hatchlings on leaves of target plants alongside leaves gathered from host plant species. The plants changed and camouflaged to prevent itself eaten by insects.

The ants are moving around on the leaves.

There’s a complicated relationship between the plants to nature. It won’t be able to demystify it very quickly. There are more than 300 thousand different species of plants and growing every day. Instead of such changes in nature, we can protect the plants by keeping it pest free, although not all insects are harmful to a plant. Like the bees helps to pollinate the flower, you may also notice the ladybugs. They help to get rid of other insect pests without damaging the plant they grow on. There are lots of miracles to be disclosed by nature.

A tale of the second largest egg in the world

Sorry vegetarians, this post is still for you to go through. Did you know or remember that the world most liked post of Instagram was for an image of an egg posted on 4th January 2019, which set the world record is now at 54.5 million likes, and it is still growing. White or brown eggs, when we have them for breakfast or in cakes or several other recipes, we know that eggs are good for health, bodybuilding and it acts as a vital source for daily body requirement. But what exactly is an egg? It’s a cell overall, with the zygote, which fertilizes later if it is under the necessary condition.

Eggs in a bowl.
Are these eggs happy or sad? We don’t know.

Okay, concluding to the actual topic, what’s all about the second-largest egg? The giant egg ever recorded was of a 1,000 year-old extinct flightless elephant bird at Madagascar. The recently discovered egg is a 66 million-year-old egg laid by an ancient reptile. Let’s uncover the mystery about it. The egg found as a fossil at Seymour Island, Antarctica. It may look like a deflated football, and the size is considerably huge, with the dimensions 28 cm by 18 cm kept at the National Museum of Natural History, Chile.

Nicknamed as “The Thing,” the most giant soft-shelled egg, also being the first fossil egg found in Antarctica, is said to be of a mosasaur (marine lizards) or the long-necked plesiosaurs. The egg-to-body size ratio of 259 modern reptiles made as a part of a comparison with existing records concluding that the animal should be more than 20 feet long, excluding the tail.

The shocking fact to the scientist was that these animals were viviparous; that is, they give birth to young ones, but it wasn’t in this case. This egg found way back in 2011, but Julia Clarke, an enthusiast in the field of bird evolution and the dinosaurs, came across this egg in 2018 when she visited the museum.

A possible illustration of how a mosasaur may have laid eggs while being in the water.

There is no proper evidence of how the eggs got laid, but the researchers have two contending ideas. Birth of a new organism occurred while eggs got hatched in the open water, similar to some species of sea snakes or else reptiles leaving the eggs on a beach as sea turtles do. But conflicting to the approaches, giant marine reptiles were too hefty, and they won’t be able to support their body weight on land. So, the creatures may have to twist their tail on the shore while staying underwater.

Will the egg break?

Well, that’s all about one of the oldest eggs ever discovered. Today the egg we consume is comparatively tiny. Still, it is rich in protein of about 13 grams per 100 grams. It is a source of livelihood for many poultry farmers. Breaks as we hit, or if it falls by mistake, the shell isn’t that strong. A small science tip, next time, try holding an egg in your hand and crush it from the top and the bottom. Comment if it breaks, but I won’t be responsible for the messy smell. Similarly, you can motivate yourself to be that strong and survive for a longer time like the recently researched egg did.

A new Journey to the center of the earth

This post is not about the movie, but this is about reality. Whenever you stand on the ground, have you ever wondered what beneath the mud, stones, and soil. Groundwater, fossils? That’s true, but as deep as you go, there’s a lot more to discover until the inner core, which is 6, 371 kilometres equivalent distance from Bali to Amsterdam. But what exactly is present at the center-most point of the Earth.

A globe model in the hand.

We know almost 71% of the Earth is water. The deepest hole on the land is the Kola Super-deep Borehole, which is about 12.2 km deep, which is 0.019 percent till the center of the Earth. At the same time, the scientist of the Soviet Union had a target of 15 km, but the temperature was too high and more than 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature of the core is estimated at up to 10800 Fahrenheit, even if Tungsten was in place for drilling, which has a melting point at 6177 Fahrenheit; still, it will be impossible to reach the core. But even the deepest hole is merely having a diameter on 9 inches.

So, how do researchers predict the information they gather information about the Earth? Recently at the University of Maryland, the researchers used seismic waves to get the inside view of the Earth. But it has a drawback due to weak echo from the unwanted noise as a part of data collection. So, to overcome this, a team of space and earth scientists by analyzing thousands of seismographs from the past 30 years using an algorithm known as Sequencer. After replicating like how bats and dolphins use echolocation, which will help to create new theories to understand more about plate tectonics working in the development of the planet in the early ages of the planet Earth.

The new inner earth map after the research.

The geophysicists are progressively engaged underneath the Pacific Ocean bowl for the particular waveforms of seismic wave echoes traveling. The data gathered is backed the advancement in the computer sector, using Machine Learning, they were able to map the data collected. At the point when the earthquakes create seismic waves pulse, the waves move slow and disperse because of dissimilarities in rock thickness, temperature, and so on. After the movement, time took, and the power of the bouncing back signs as they strike seismometers in various zones set, researchers can make different models about the physical properties of rock under the surface.

But what is our benefit in the research? We will know more about our planet, but most importantly, we can discover minerals after knowing more about the composition more precisely. Mponeng gold mine in South Africa is the deepest gold mine at almost 4 km; the temperature down reaches up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, geothermal energy will generate by heating the water to produce steams, saving fossil fuels. Also, there can be new researches if the life of bacteria or microbes can exist at such high temperatures. We can also discover ancient fossil remains if it exists, and many more mysteries are yet to be solved.

Medical Breakthrough: Can it save life of a Corona-virus patient?

There was a time when everything was going well. Suddenly a pandemic arises all of a sudden. However, the reason for the origin is not apparent yet, and several kinds of research are going on to prepare vaccines to save the lives of people who want to live peacefully. This virus attacks the respiratory system weakening it day by day. However, some may not know, it is treated by keeping the person under 14 days observatory and building up the immune system stronger. But this isn’t an effective solution to cure the problem. It may return or may contaminate others unwittingly. Some people even don’t know if they have it after through an unknown contact with an infected person, this case is asymptomatic, and it can be very harmful.

Face masks are prevalent these days, and it is a must to wear to protect yourself.

All institutions, offices, public places were closed, people protested, some even panicked, instead of death due to this virus, it can be worse when someone passes away being tensed about it and being in depression. Positive things are happening around the globe like you may have heard about like blood plasma transfusion, hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir in the news. These were some of the methods or medicines that tried to cure the patients and treat them effectively. Now new research says that dexamethasone can be the life-saving drug, being one of the costs capable, was tested in England by giving them 28 days reducing the death rate up to 35 percent, and 20 percent for people requiring oxygen while difficulty in breathing.

Dexamethasone is giving as a steroid to reduce inflammation due to several reasons like allergies, asthma, etc. But WHO strictly advises not to use steroids to treat patients while they’re ill as it can slow the time until the virus clears up. Now they’re almost 100 thousand cases reported every day over the past two weeks across the globe. The researches claimed that it could prevent one death among every eight patients if they’re on a ventilator. This finding got observed by a study leader named Peter Horby at the University of Oxford. The earlier attempts like the HIV combo drug lopinavir-ritonavir were commonly given antibiotics for a viral cold, cough: azithromycin was a part of the study. Also, the anti-inflammatory drug tocilizumab were all tested as a cure to treat the patients as a part of the research for more than 11 thousand patients in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

A lady is looking out with hope for the situations to come in control.

People should strictly follow as there is no proper cure for the problem. The lockdown is for everyone’s betterment. If you have any symptoms like cold, cough for an extended period, frequent occurring fever, difficulty in breathing, one must quickly approach a doctor. The health conditions of a hospital are worsening day by day. The patients are increasing, but the resources are restricted. There is no proper funding for these problems; people don’t cooperate in this period and become a potential risk for others. They’re cases where the hospital authorities, nurses, attendants, and doctors get attacked; they’re saving your lives, researchers are working day and night to help to restore humanity. The business sector is in the state of falling and collapsing. We need to follow guidelines made, or else it will be challenging to control the problem.

In search of a new life: The Mars planet

Life has been existing over for 3.5 billion years ago. There were significant events in the past, like the extinction of dinosaurs about 66 million years ago. We also know about the start of agriculture, human-made tools used for several purposes. Now in the 21st century, we’ve accomplished a lot of achievements. Still, yes, we are slowly destroying the planet Earth. The nature around us earlier was so satisfying maybe a decade or before that. Suddenly, humanity started constructing buildings, complexes, resorts, artificial reservoirs, etc. This list never ends. They are even cutting down the trees to get more residential areas leading to deforestation. After all, this will all lead to a concrete jungle in the future, there will be no oxygen for survival, the animals will start disappearing, and soon everything will come to an end. This sequence of incidents can be a nightmare for someone, but this can turn into a reality. It’s in our hands to save the planet.

On the other side, they’re positive things going around the globe. Scientists and researchers have continuously been looking for existence in life in the other planets. Several space programs have been successfully executed and are still in progress. We know our solar system consisting of eight planets, but we’ve been more interested in the planet Mars. The first mission on Mars on 14th July 1965, Mariner 4, followed by Mariner 9, entered into the orbit. Though the first landing was by Mars 2 but crashed due to a malfunction which later on 2nd December 1971, Mars 3 became the first spacecraft to land on the Mars surface, that too interrupted after 14.5 seconds after its signal transmission failed.

Now in search of water on Mars, there are several types of research claiming that it is in the form of ice caps and many more theories. Still, of these findings, scientists, namely John G. MacDonald, Karien Rodriguez, and Stephen Quirk, developed something unique by which plants can be grown. You heard it right, a polymer through which it can deliver oxygen for the germinating sprout. They claim that regolith has nutrients for plant growth, but not oxygen, the prior requirement of a sapling as 95% of the Martian atmosphere is carbon dioxide. They described two methods of extracting oxygen, either from the metal oxides pre-existing in the regolith and electrolysis, but both processes are time-consuming. The proposed idea is that when the polymer combines with sodium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide, it becomes an oxygen infused foamed hydrogel. It has the potential to deliver controlled amounts of gaseous oxygen. The foamed matrix, along with regolith, can form the base or be directly coated around the seed to grow plants.

The most crucial mission among them was MOM, an interplanetary mission by ISRO, India called Mangalyaan, orbiting since 24th September 2014, becoming the 4th space agency to reach the planet Mars with the lowest cost. This mission has fascinated the kids in India, it got picturised in a movie called “Mission Mangal” in the Hindi language, premiered on 13th August 2019 in theaters. Imagination never ends, everything has a route, and hence it becomes a success, a part of the movie’s storyline. I hope you adhere the same in reality.

The first step: Building blocks of life

An atmosphere of happiness gets created when a new life takes shape. When you entered the world, you had no sense about yourself. You may have cried several times to express when you wanted something. Slowly as you grew, you started saying chunks of words, gradually crawling and finally learn to walk. This succession couldn’t be determined and taught in advance. Everything takes time.

Some alphabet are written on the board.
The first letters of the alphabet.

Similarly, when you go to school first time and till graduation and further, that journey is a long way to go. This stage of life is where your proper education starts. Starting from learning alphabets but in different languages as the curriculum is diverse across the world. Every parent wishes that their child gets the best school to seek a good job and secure their future generation in a better way. Do anyone think about being a better human, unknowingly these are gained through what we learn and observe things around us.

The kids are learning to draw objects.

The problem is that everyone in the world doesn’t have the same capabilities like in terms of money, maybe a person is willing to study but don’t have proper financial support, their dream comes to an end. Although there are scholarships, not everyone has adequate knowledge of how to gain, or else those money goes in the wrong hand and that’s where the corruption starts. There are numerous reasons like the person is not willing to study a particular subject. They have to learn it forcefully, leading to depression, bad academic results, lack confidence, low self-esteem, and much more. This situation happens because, in some countries, they follow an old education policy, rarely updated, and there is no freedom to choose subjects electively. Not everyone likes to become a doctor or an engineer in the future. One may wish for something that the person likes, but the society fears by conveying that the particular field has no scope in the future.

There are many more problems related to education, like in schools, there is not even a proper student to teacher ratio maintained, no adequate infrastructure due to improper funding. No digitalization due to which the students rely on the book knowledge and ends up there. There are public libraries that do offer books and also allow them to access the internet, but this model is not visible everywhere. In this patriarchal society, not only these but also problems are there with the mentality of their parents. Like where they think a girl shouldn’t pursue higher education as they will have to work one day at someone else’s houses or don’t allow their children to study as they are their sole supporters. No one else is there to look after them.

Remote education and distant learning may solve these problems, but we need to find these group of people who actually require help and then voluntarily study in the future. There are children in rural areas who can’t access these facilities. We need to reach and also improvise our current education curriculum so that the employment rate decrease and one can stand on itself and employ others for their work.

Unshed Tears: The Pain of a Repressed Woman

When you’re sleeping peacefully at your home, some painful noises are being suppressed, or even lose their lives. Yes, the crime rates haven’t gone down even in this pandemic; instead, it has surged up a lot. Domestic violence, brutal behaviour towards women are prevalent these days. A girl roaming freely suddenly gets her wings cut and, in some cases, tied to someone who doesn’t even value her priorities and feelings. These women suffer a lot, made to work without any rest, misbehaviour among them is common, which we generally observe, but some people straightforwardly neglect them on the face when they ask for help. What’s wrong with society? Don’t they have a soul for those who want to enjoy and be part of the happiness shared in this world? Do the constitution rights make us so free that we can do anything we wish for ourselves? This behaviour is wrong, and the current generation mindset gets diverted to the wrong path.

Almost 35 percent of women have experienced some physical violence or mental tortures around the world. More than 58 percent of women get killed by their partners or family members. One hundred thirty-seven women die when their member of the family kills them. Nearly 49 percent of all human trafficking victims are adult women. According to an estimation, over 650 million women and girls in the world today get married before age 18 termed as child marriage, as mentioned in most country laws. These marriages often result in early pregnancy and social isolation; schooling gets abandoned; their opportunities get seized and increases more risk of experiencing domestic violence brutally every day. Globally, one out of three students get bullied by their fellow mates in the school.

The UN officially mentioned the above facts. There are many misconceptions across the globe. Sati, one of the historical practices followed in India, where women sacrifice their souls for their husbands’ death. Great enthusiasts like Raja Rammohan Roy, along with Lord William Bentinck, were able to stop the practice. But now, even if a voice gets raised, a thousand question is asked as a follow-up. One who’s already ashamed and shocked by the heinous crime made towards these women, how can they speak up for themselves? They need full support from society. What can we do to stop this? We can make people aware of the pain a woman suffers throughout their entire life. We can stand against the existing laws and create a revolution to curb such crimes, make stricter laws, and deploy faster court proceedings. They should get justice right on time. Just by rallying with candles across the streets won’t bring the change until the demons of the malpractices are caught and punished on time. These prisoners usually escape due to ease in the judiciary system and loopholes in the current policies. This issue requires a lot of attention before it is too late. Save the future and build a positive society around us. Otherwise, these will end up in a huge disaster.

From Ocean to Space: Women empowers the World

A person who undoubtedly serves forever is nonetheless a woman who gives spark to a new life, raises, and even works for the betterment of the society. The journey right from a child as a girl grows up to be a mother in the future becomes one of your grandparents and looks after you endlessly. Still, there are several voices raised to support and nourish them; women don’t get equal rights and freedom, fighting for so many decades, and it goes on. What we should be proud of is that a woman has nearly conquered everything in their life. Maybe being the first lady to break some of the achievements, as a leader ruling the nation, and doing every possible job what a man can do. Beyond may it be in the business sector or to the advanced fields of research, and they’ve made their existence, including the space industry.

Let me introduce to one of the famous NASA astronauts, Kathryn D. Sullivan. Aged 68, a geologist born in Paterson, New Jersey. In 1973, she pursued her B.Sc. degree for Earth Sciences at the University of California. Furthermore, she achieved her PhD degree in Geology from Dalhousie University in 1973. She served her career as an oceanography officer for the US Naval Reserve in 1988 till 2006 ended up with the captain’s rank. Before that, she was a part of the first astronaut groups to include women for NASA in 1978 who flew for three space missions and left in 1993. She was also a chief scientist for NOAA in the US.

She has achieved several great achievements, noteworthy to mention that in 1984, she and the mission specialists performed a 3.5-hour spacewalk in which they operated a system designed to demonstrate that a satellite can refuel while in orbit. On 8th June, World Ocean Day in this year 2020, she went on the mission to the Challenger Deep, one of the deepest points known. She is now the first woman to travel deep in the ocean as well as to space.

She also received several awards recognizing her contributions like the Gold Medal of the Society of Woman Geographers in 1993. In 2004, she made herself appear in the Astronaut Hall of Fame and was on Time 100 list in 2014. In 2019, she released a book “Handprints on Hubble: An Astronaut’s Story of Invention,” sharing her experiences on Hubble Telescope, the largest infrared telescope in space. You can read more about her from official NASA site mentioned below:

There are many more women in the past as well as in the future to endorse. It will be an endless list. You can set them as your role model and move towards success in your life. Men have equally contributed to society, but women have been slowly growing up and are at the same pace as the men outperform in their field. Now they’re on the news, and we should appreciate them. Another woman, mountaineer by profession, Vanessa O’Brien, is inspired by Kathryn mentioned above, she can be second women to the Challenger Deep. So, take inspiration and keep inspiring others too.

Capturing the moments through the digital eye

We as a human, we’re born as a social creature who likes to connect, befriend them and share memories. Earlier, we usually jot them down into personal diary. However, people still prefer to write in a journal, but in the age of digitalisation, blogging is on the verge. The blog has several media like images, videos, and noteworthy to mention, “the camera” through which they capture it. Almost every digital device like the smartphone, digital cameras, DSLRs used for capturing moments and sharing them with friends, relatives and acquaintances. Even the cameras used for security purposes like home security, theft detection etc. We also heard about thermal imaging camera, IR camera used for scientific purposes, also by photographers for night scenes while filming a documentary or a show.

Why do we need a camera when we have eyes to see it? The camera can be a boon or bane, useful for creating history so that people can know more about us in the future generations, can work as a piece of prime evidence for and save lives. The camera can be bad for several reasons like privacy invasions, clicking pictures without permission. Many institutions, hospitals don’t allow to capture images/videos, and it’s a quite controversial and debatable topic. The camera supports us to visualise the scenes even after a decade or more, and when we look back at them, we can still feel the positive vibes.

A Black and Silver Film Camera

Every invention has an origin, the portable camera was first invented by Johann Zahn in 1685, although in 1814, Joseph Nicephore Niepce took eight hours to click the first photograph. Before many more camera like instruments has come into the picture, most of them were merely able to screen the image, even pinhole camera is one of the discoveries such made. Now, we can share it in digital format, make a fabulous endzone video, and apply filters where AI has played a significant role. We share the images and showcase our memories on social media, through emails and also physical printed with photo frame. Earlier, the old technologies used photographic plate or on the film, now due to advancement in science and technology, we use the electronic image sensor. You may have heard the term CMOS sensor, a semiconductor device used in imaging after the 1960s before that CCD image sensor as seen in earlier digital cameras.

We know a lot about its history, let’s see how the digital camera works. There are several patents, and you can see one of them below:

https://patents.google.com/patent/US4131919

Camera lens now is the key to imaging which helps to take images in milliseconds. In simple terms, most of the light around the lens is captured and focused on a single point resulting in a sharp image. Further, conversion into a digitised format takes place. There are numerous processes involved in a single shot of image captured. We can zoom in by moving the lens far from the camera sensor. The focal length is one of the key terms associated with the zooming. You may have seen DSLRs depicting the focal length of the lens, focal aperture. These are some of the few words in the world of photography.

Researchers from the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have devised a technology for ‘metasurfaces’, an artificial material with lots of interacting nanoparticles that can control light. They are working on this as the technology of the camera lens hasn’t changed for an extended period. You can read the publication mentioned below:

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsphotonics.9b01809

Photography has a separate fanbase. Almost everyone loves capturing moments, maybe the happiest moment when you made your first steps or perhaps where you got grand success. The digital era keeps on growing and always kept us astonished.

Ring of Fire: Mystery of the dark sky

Solar eclipse captured by a professional photographer.
An image of a solar eclipse captured on a camera.

Nature has hundreds, thousands, and many more of underlying mysteries unsolved. It has left us astonished, including the researchers, scientists, and even us, while endorsing the creation of the beautiful environment around us. Let us decode the riddle all about the ring of fire. Ring of fire may confuse you with the area in the Pacific Ocean, but here it’s about the solar solstice.

This year, you will observe one of the rarest eclipses, the ring of fire. But what is the solar solstice, you might have come across this term while you’ve studied environmental science in your childhood. The word originated from the Old French solstice and from the Latin sōlstitium where sōl means the Sun and sistō refers to stand still. The solstice happens two times every year in June and December when the Sun arrives at its one of the unique positions in the sky as we can see from the North Pole or the South Pole. Solar Eclipse, on the other hand, refers to when the Moon is directly between the Sun and the planet Earth, which usually occurs twice in a year and can go up to 5 of them in a year occasionally.

The most significant thing is that how do you observe this spectacular event. During this occasion, wearing proper eye protection is a must, or else it can cause retinal burns. Even a slight revelation to this light can destroy cells in the retina: vision, one of the essential senses through which we can watch the world around us through the brain, you cannot risk to lose it. We can use a pinhole projector, which can be your next science-related DIY project, as one of the methods to observe it properly. There are other methods like telescope attached with solar filters, or you can even watch them online when the various astronomical organisations broadcast it around the world.

We always had a desire to look into the Sun directly in the sky and go blank for a while, unable to see things for the next few minutes. But this opportunity allows us to see the Sun in its most enthralling form. On June 21, 2020, the first solar eclipse in the year full of events like the recent pandemic, which affected everyone directly and indirectly. Now when Mother Earth has been recovering to its fullest, this will be one of the most awaited moments of the year to capture and create some positive memories. You can check the path of the eclipse on the official NASA site mentioned below.

https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2020Jun21Agoogle.html

Eclipses have occurred several times throughout the history of humanity. There are several myths which leads to a reason that some of us take it in a positive manner or vice-versa. In the end, it teaches us the fact that there is always a way to light after every darkness, no matter how deep or bad memories do you go through, there is still a way to recover from it. In the 21st century, where science and technology are advancing day by day, but watching out nature’s fantasies, is what still keeps us connected to the field of astronomy, history, and beliefs and can be a motivational factor for the growth of a positive character within you.
