The lunar terrain Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A love letter from outer space: Lonar Lake, India Last updated: 09/10/25, 10:05 Published: 10/04/25, 07:00 The lunar terrain Around 50,000 years ago, outer space gifted the earth with a crater that formed the foundations of the world’s third largest natural saltwater lake, situated within a flat volcanic area known as the Deccan Plateau. This resulted from a 2 million tonne meteorite tunnelling through the earth’s atmosphere at the velocity of 90,000km/hour and colliding into the Deccan Plateau. As time slipped away, pressure and heat melted the basalt rock tucked underneath the impact, and the accumulation of rainwater filled the crater with water. These foundations curated what is famously known today as the ‘Lonar Lake’. What is unique about the Lonar Lake is that it is the only meteorite-crater formed in basaltic terrain - synonymous to a lunar terrain. Additionally, the remnants bear similarities to the terrestrial composition of Mercury, which contains craters, basaltic rock and smooth plains resulting from volcanic activity. Many speculations have arisen to prove the theory of the crater forming from the impact of a meteorite. One such collaborative study conducted by The Smithsonian Institute of Washington D.C. USA, the Geological Survey of India and the US Geological Survey involved drilling holes at the bottom of the crater and scrutinising the compositions of rock samples sourced from the mining. When tested in the laboratory, it was found that the rock samples contained leftovers of the basaltic rock that were modified from the crater collision under high heat and pressure. In addition, shattered cone-shaped fractures, due to high velocity shock waves being transmitted into the rocks, were identified. These two observations align with the meteorite impact phenomenon. Additionally, along with its fascinating astronomical properties, scientists have been intrigued by the chemical composition of the lake within the crater. Its dark green colour results from the presence of the blue-green algae Spirulina. The water also has a pH of 10, making the water alkaline in nature, supporting the development of marine systems. One explanation for the alkalinity of the water is that it is a result of immediate sulphide formation, where the groundwater of meteorite origin contains CO2 undergoes a precipitation reaction with alkaline ions, leaving a carbonate precipitate with an alkaline nature. What is also striking about the composition of the water as well is its saline nature, which coexists with the alkaline environment - a rare phenomenon to occur in ecological sciences. The conception of the lake, from the matrimony of Earth with the debris within outer space, has left its imprints within the physical world. It's a love letter, written in basaltic stone and saline water, fostering innovation in ecology. The inscription of the meteorite’s journey within the crater has branched two opposing worlds, one originating millions of miles away from humans with one that resides in the natural grounds of our souls.

Ampere's Law and Faraday's Law Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Basics of transformer physics Last updated: 01/10/25, 10:49 Published: 24/04/25, 07:00 Ampere's Law and Faraday's Law Transformers have been around for decades. No, not the robots from the science fiction film franchise, although that would be amazing. Rather, the huge, technologically complex metal box-like things that play a key role in the electrical grid. You have likely seen transformers hidden behind extensive fencing, cabling, and ‘Danger! High Voltage!’ warning signs. These areas are not exactly accessible to tourists. Transformers play a crucial part in providing power to everything from your electric toothbrush to heating for your house to giant factories and just about anything in between. So it may come as a surprise that since their invention in the late 1800s, very little about them has changed. There are a number of different types of transformers that vary depending on voltage level, end user, location, etc. However, this article will only cover conventional transformers or, more specifically, the basic physics concepts behind how a typical transformer works. For those without a physical or electrical background, transformers can seem impossible to understand, but there are only two physics laws you need to understand: Ampere’s Law and Faraday’s Law. Ampere’s Law When charged particles like electrons flow in a particular direction, such as through a wire, this is an electric current . The moving charged particles affect the energy surrounding the wire, and we call this changing energy a magnetic field . Ampere’s Law mathematically describes the relationship between the flowing electrical current and the resultant magnetic field. The more intense the electrical current is, the stronger the magnetic field. Faraday’s Law Faraday’s Law allows us to predict how the magnetic field and the electrical current will interact. This interaction produces an electromotive force , which essentially means that as a magnetic field changes over time, it produces a force that creates or induces an electrical current. Basic physics of the transformer core Conventional transformers harness both Ampere’s Law and Faraday’s law in its core. The core is made of sheets of silicon steel, also known as electrical steel, that are very carefully stacked together. They are manufactured to form a square-like closed loop. A wire is wound on one side of the square loop, which carries the input current from the power source. On the opposite side of the square loop, a second wire is wound, which carries the output current leading farther downstream into the electrical grid. This may be to a ‘load’ or endpoint for the current, i.e. a house, warehouse, etc. Wire 1, carrying the input current, is not physically connected to Wire 2, the output current. These are two completely different wires. Ampere’s Law + Faraday’s Law is used to create, or induce , the output current in Wire 2. Recall that a moving electrical current creates a magnetic field. This is what occurs on the side of the core with Wire 1. The input current flows along Wire 1 as it coils around that side of the core, and a strong magnetic field is produced. For all intents and purposes, we can say that Wire 2 is ‘empty’, meaning that there is no input current here - it is not connected to a power source. However, as the current in Wire 1 produces a magnetic field, this field affects the energy around Wire 2 and induces a current in Wire 2, which then flows out of the transformer farther into the electrical grid. While there are different types of transformers with varying core configurations as well as additional complex physics to consider during manufacturing, it is too extensive to consider in this article. However, the processes described here form the basis of conventional transformer physics. Written by Amber Elinsky Related article: Wireless electricity Project Gallery

For this experiment, the gravitational acceleration was calculated by measuring the time period of a simple pendulum using three different experimental methods; methods 2 and 3 were more similar than method 1. This experiment is primarily for data analysis of the measurements taken of a simple pendulum oscillating freely to determine the acceleration due to gravity. Go back Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Outline of an investigation of the period of a single pendulum, and its relation to gravity Last updated: 13/11/24 Last updated: 26/01/23 For this experiment, the gravitational acceleration was calculated by measuring the time period of a simple pendulum using three different experimental methods; methods 2 and 3 were more similar than method 1. This experiment is primarily for data analysis of the measurements taken of a simple pendulum oscillating freely to determine the acceleration due to gravity. This experiment can be repeated but can be carried out in different viscous liquids to see how the extra damping force affects the time period of the oscillation and calculate the g value from it. This can be useful to know as then making pendulum watches to work, say in different environments (such as under water), will be easier to make. It has future implications in industries and/ or technologies that produce related devices. Overall, this experiment was flawed from the beginning from not correctly applying the small angle criteria (in methods 2 and 3). However, there was success for method 1.

Obesity is one of the most common problems among many in all age groups. As per world health organisation obesity or overweight defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may cause impair health. Obesity measured by BMI (Body mass index), normal BMI for children is  range Go back Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Childhood obesity Last updated: 18/11/24 Published: 25/03/23 Obesity is one of the most common problems among many in all age groups. As per the World Health Organisation, obesity or overweight is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may cause impaired health. Obesity is measured by Body Mass Index (BMI). The normal BMI for children ranges from 13.53 to 20.08. Children are the most vulnerable age group for becoming overweight. Early prevention reduces the overall burden of health care system globally. Obesity causes: Obesity mainly results from imbalance between energy intake and utilisation of calorie intake. There are several reasons for becoming overweight. Five main causes for overweight are- Genetic factors Food quality and quantity Parental belief Sedentary lifestyle Environmental resource Symptoms of childhood obesity: Shortness of breath while physical activity Difficulty in breathing while sleeping. Easily fatigue. Gastric problems such as gastroesophageal reflux disease Fat deposits in various body parts such as breast, abdomen and thigh area Prevalence The prevalence of overweight children is increasing every year. In England, in the year 2019/2020, the prevalence of overweight increased rapidly. The National Child Measurement Program measure shows that in Reception (4-5 years old), the obesity rate was 9.9% and continued to increase to 21% in year 6. Childhood obesity is tackled early so complications can be managed before it worsens. There are many ways to prevent childhood obesity. Prevention The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance currently recommends lifestyle intervention as the main treatment for prevention of childhood obesity. Diet management and physical activity are the main areas to focus on for obesity prevention. Dietary modification includes limited use of refined grains and sweets, potatoes, red meat, processed meat, sugary drinks, and alternatively increase intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain and adopt more healthier food options, instead of fatty and junk food. On top of that, add physical activity in daily routine. It is one of the key factors for reduction of obesity. Another way for communities to tackle obesity is to take part in government programmes such as Healthier You and NHS Digital weight management programme, which are helpful for handling obesity.

The human race has witnessed ten influenza pandemics over the course of 300 years. COVID-19, the most recent, killed approximately 6.9 million people and infected nearly 757 million. Go Back Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The world vs the next pandemic Last updated: 18/11/24 Published: 25/03/23 The human race has witnessed ten influenza pandemics over the course of 300 years. COVID-19, the most recent, killed approximately 6.9 million people and infected nearly 757 million. Though seemingly quite large, the number of deaths caused by the coronavirus is still comparatively fewer than the pandemics of the past, which have killed around 50–100 million people globally. These large numbers may seem like statistics from a century ago, but many scientists predict the same-scale destruction with future pandemics, heightening the concern about how prepared we are when the next big outbreak strikes. It is impossible to know when the next pandemic will hit or the number of casualties it will bring. The only certainty is that it cannot be avoided, which raises the question of how to mitigate the impact and reduce the effectiveness of large-scale losses. During the COVID-19 outbreak, we observed that preventive measures such as social distancing and face coverings could intervene in viral transmission to some degree. Additionally, strategies like complete lockdown, isolation and timely treatment can help in the containment and recovery of those already infected. These measures, however, can only be taken once the threat is detected promptly before infecting a larger population. To prevent an infection from becoming an outbreak, strategies that focus on the source of the disease can prove to be highly advantageous. Preventive measures may include: ● monitoring the mobilisation of wildlife that potentially carries harmful pathogens ● studying the interactions between different species in wildlife ● surveillance of the domestic and international markets for wildlife trade and strict imposition of biosecurity laws. Additionally, an effort needs to be made for sharing the generated data with global laboratories to promote scientific collaboration. Once the threat is identified, quick decision-making using the correct precautions needs to take place. Simultaneously, investments in research sectors promoting mRNA vaccine developments, novel drug treatments, and emerging technological advances need to be increased. In conclusion, the strategies for the management of the next pandemic need to operate on a multi-level governance with optimal coordination between different institutions involved in crisis management. There is a constant threat of pandemics looming over the world. The outbreak is inevitable, but its effect solely depends on the preparedness and response of the governmental bodies and global health institutions. Is it going to be a hurricane of destruction, or will it just pass by like a gush of wind? Only time will tell.

There have only been a total of four women to receive this prestigious award, namely Marie Curie, Maria Goeppert Mayer, Donna Strickland, and Andrea Ghez. This article will detail the research each woman did to achieve the Nobel Prize, as well as the context of their discoveries. Marie Curie (1903) Arguably the most famous of these Nobel Prize winners, Marie Curie won her award for research on radioactive phenomena. Curie received half the Nobel Prize for Physics, shared with her husband, but at first, the committee had only intended to award it to him. This was the first Nobel Prize for Physics ever awarded to a woman. The specific research that was recognised for a Nobel Prize in Physics was the discovery of radioactivity. Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of energy, in the form of radiation, a term that Curie herself coined. Marie Curie researched whether uranium, a weakly radioactive element, was found in other materials. She then analysed pitchblende, a mineral made partially of uranium but had a higher amount of radiation. Curie investigated other elements that pitchblende could be made up of and, as a result of this, discovered new elements: polonium and radium. Following this, she had ambitions of obtaining pure radium, and following this achievement, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903. Maria Goeppert Mayer (1963) 60 years after Marie Curie was awarded her Nobel Prize for Physics, Maria Goeppert Mayer became the second female recipient. She received the Prize for her work in 1963 on the nuclear shell model of the atomic nucleus. Goeppert Mayer shared her award with two other physicists who came to the same conclusion as her. The nuclear shell model describes the exact makeup of the atomic nucleus, through the exact numbers of protons and neutrons. Maria Goeppert Mayer’s mathematical work on this model described why there are certain amounts of neutrons and protons in stable atoms. She beautifully described the model in terms of waltzers dancing and spinning in circles. Donna Strickland (2018) The next female Nobel Prize in Physics award winner wouldn’t be until another half-century later, with Donna Strickland. Strickland was awarded the Prize for her work on chirped pulse amplification and its applications. Although the research itself was published in 1985, she didn’t receive the award until 2018. Chirped pulse amplification (CPA) is a technique that takes a very short laser pulse (a light flash) and makes it brighter. The technique is useful for making extremely precise cuts, so is used for many laser-related applications, such as laser eye surgery. The wide range of uses CPA has in medicine makes this an important discovery for physics which led to Strickland being awarded the Nobel Prize award. Andrea Ghez (2020) The result of the work of Andrea Ghez, the fourth female Nobel Prize in Physics recipient, may be the most exciting conclusion of the research described in this article. Ghez won the award for her role in discovering a black hole in the centre of our galaxy. A black hole is a very dense, compact object with gravity so strong that not even light can escape it. Until recently, physicists have not been able to visually observe black holes but instead can detect them by looking at how other objects, such as stars, behave around one. Andrea Ghez and her team used the movement of Sagittarius A* to prove that there was a black hole in the centre of the Milky Way.
