B IRD B EHAViOUR The ways animals play with inedible objects may be precursors functional behaviours such as tool use and goal directed object manipulation. For these reasons, species of high technical intelligence are also expected to play intensely with inanimate objects when no obvious goal is pursued.           Within object play, combinatory actions are considered a particularly informative trait in animals as well as human infants: Children start bashing two objects together when they are about 8 months old, at 10 months, they combine toys with elements from their environment, such as inserting them into cavities or stacking rings on a pole. Only after their second year, infants start using objects as tools to obtain a desire goal.           In animals this has so far mainly been studied in primates. Within this group, complex object combinations during play are largely limited to capuchin monkeys and the four great ape species. These are also the species, which promin

        INSTANT NOODLES COULD POSE HEALTH RISKS    Recent research has shown that significant consumption of instant noodles may increase a person’s risk for cardio metabolic syndrome, especially in women. The findings were recently published n the journal of Nutrition.           The research focused primarily on South Korea, which has the highest per-capita number of instant noodle consumers in the world. In recent years, South Koreans have experienced a rapid increase in health problems, specifically heart disease, and a growing number of overweight adults. Such changes could lead to increased mortality due to cardiovascular disease, as well as increased health care costs. “While instant noodle intake is greater in Asian communities, the association between instant noodle consumption and metabolic syndrome has not been widely studied, “said Dr. Hyun joon Shin, clinical cardiology fellow at Baylor University Medical Center and a nutrition epidemiology doctoral student at H

YOUTUBE  FAVES  1 LET’S PLAY, DADDY     It’s gone viral, become a huge talking point and made the family in the middle of it very, very famous! American academic Robert Kelley – and his two kids – have become overnight celebrities after a 43-second clip featuring them has left the world LOL-ing. Kelley, an expert on South Korean politics, was in the middle of a BBC interview in his study at home, when his four year old daughter swagged into the camera frame and started doing a jig! A few seconds later, his infant son also crashed his interview; n a mechanised  walker, with the Prof trying desperately to concentrate on his interview… till his wife hilariously slides in and pulls the kids out! With millions sharing it on social media across the world, the week’s biggest YouTube hit has 19,578,624 guffaws and OMGs to its name! 2 TRAILER: WONDER WOMAN       This week, Warner Bros released the trailer of wonder woman, tracing the origin story of the superhero—and now we can

GHOST : FUTURE TECHNOLOGY FOR 3-D INTERACTIVE DISPLAY A new and exciting technology may allow users to change the shape of displays with their hands revolutionising  the way humans interact with smart phones, laptops, tablets, and computers. With this technology a user could pull objects and data out of the TV or tablet or computer screen and manipulate then n midair.           In 2013, a project called GHOST (Generic, Highly Organic shape changing Interfaces), funded by the European Union, was designed to allow a human to manipulate digital objects using computers and mobile devices as an interface. The GHOST program which involves four partners in the UK, Netherlands and Denmark is slated to end by December 2015 and has received funds totalling  1.93 million Euros from the European Union’s Future Technologies program.           Professor Kasper Hornbǣk of the University of Copenhagen, coordinator of GHOST promises that designers would be able t manipulate and change t

I WONDER WHY?                                                            Why does the sunflower always face the sun?             Sunflowers seem to follow the Sun from morning to evening. All plants show a tendency to orient itself in response to light, which is called phototropism. It is a growth hormone called Auxin that helps the Sunflower to exhibit phototropism. Auxin is sensitive to sunlight, and moves away from it. So Auxin often migrates to the shaded part of the stem. One there, Auxin stimulates the growth of the cells. This cause the stem to become bulkier, and lean in the opposite direction i.e. towards the Sun. As the direction of the shade changes, Auxin also shifts their position in the stem. This keeps the sunflower always facing the sun.

QUANTUM COMPUTERS Small Step for Human? I MAGINE cruising at the speed of sound in an automatic car. Wait… did you just picture yourself handling the steering. At that speed, there is no way you could get the controls right unless it is guided by a set of precise algorithms wired in the car’s hard drive. In that case, you won’t even need to manage the wheel… the car will run on its own.           This has been the desire future of the auto industry for several decades, but the modern computers, which have helped us achieve most scientific goals, are not even close to assessing the multiple possibilities that can arise on a busy street full of people, animals and self-driving cars. Chances are that such future cars will be conceptualised  and realised  based on quantum mechanics - the branches of science that opens up the world of multiple possibilities.           The current state of technology is inept to solve quantum mechanics, which happens to take an alternative view

  UNDER STANDING QUANTUM MECHANICS Q UANTUM Mechanism is one of the most remarkable discoveries of contemporary sciences over the last century. Quantum mechanics arose from Max Planck’s solution in 1900 to the black-radiation and Albert Einstein’s 1905 paper on photoelectric effect. The term “Quantum mechanics” was first used in a paper by max Born n 1924. However, even after 116 years of the birth of concept, it is still considered the weirdest of all sciences. The learner is not able to digest the quantum concepts and is unable to appreciate the importance of quantum mechanics in science.             A chemist’s intention to learn quantum mechanics is to be able to understand the Structure, Bonding and Reactivity of/in/between chemical entities be it an atom or a molecule, which is defined by the behavior of electrons (microscopic matter). To be able to appreciate the role of quantum mechanics in chemistry, one must have a sound background in quantum mechanics (which is mis

WORLD’S NATURAL SALTIEST POND   DON JUAN POND  D ESPITE   being in Antarctica, the Don Juan Pond doesn’t freeze! And that too when temperatures hover around - 50 0 C.           Don Juan Pond is a small, extremely salty, ankle-lake located in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, nestled I Wright Valley between the Asgard Mountain Range and the Olympus Mountain Range. The pond was discovered in 1961 and pilots Lt John Hickey who discovered it.           Don Juan Pond is the saltiest natural body of water on Earth with a salinity level of over 40%, which is around 18 times saltier than the ocean. Or some eight times as salty as the Dead Sea. Although the lake is located n one of the coldest regions of Antarctica, it is so salty that it never freezes even when the surface temperature drops to -50 0 C during Austral winter, making it one of the unique places for the investigation of habitability n extreme conditions n earth and possible for  life on Mars

Why is the BMW Welt Unique? T he BMW Welt is located in the Olympic Park in Munich, in the middle of the BMW campus. It is a showcase and distribution centre for BMW cars. The structure appears as a whirl of glass and steel in the shape of a double cone that twists upwards towards the roof. The roof itself is in the form of a cloud that seems to be floating.           This masterpiece of steel and glass, designed by coop Himmelblau, has 16,500 square meters of solar panels. These panels generate much of the energy consumed by the building itself on a daily basis. The interiors have monumental stairways, curved bridges, and balconies that are held in the air.           The BMW Welt is therefore, is not just a work of art, but also a building famous for its practical role. Truly, the building is an architectural wonder.

END OF BIOLOGICAL MOTHERS?   THE  traditional methodology of creating offspring has recently been challenged by scientists at the University of Bath n the UK who have demonstrated that the cellular components of a mother are not strictly required to create a biological offspring. Yes, you read it correct. In theory at least and partly in practice, it is possible to create a living mammal, out of a ‘ sole parent’           This idea of reproduction has indeed been tried out on mice and not one, but three generations of healthy mice have been produced. The scientists involved in the study inform that they have achieved a success rate of about 24% in their initial experiments.           The sperm and the egg cell, technically referred to as the male and the female gametes, are special types of cells containing only half the number of the total chromosome required for the formation of a complete cell. As the male and female gametes come together they fuse to become a single cel

                                STINGLESS BEES! THINK Of bees and painful stings come to mind. But there are bees that are stingless too. The sting is there but remains non functional. The bees bite with their mandibles, but the bite intensity is just like that of an ant.           Stingless bees are small in size and are also called ‘dammer bees’ or ‘mosquito bees’ Stingless bees have also been kept for centuries in various parts of the world, Stingless bees prefer to build their nests in stem and branches of living trees, old and abandoned ant hills, wooden dead logs, cracks in walls of houses, etc. Large cavities are delimited by walls of resin or batumen (mixture of wax, resin and mud, and sometimes pieces of plants).           While honey bees always construct vertical combs, stingless bees live with horizontal combs. The entrance of the nest is habitually reduced, so that it can be protected against ants and other natural enemies. The nest comprised brood cells,

THE HAPPY EVER-AFTER SO you have saved an important document on your hard drive. How long do you think it will persist – Indefinitely? Maybe, maybe not.           How many times have we all ended up losing valuable data because the hard drive crashed or pen drives were infected with malware?           But there’s pretty good chance that if we can store information in materials that can sustain forever, say a diamond, the information will remain intact – forever. Diamond is a form of carbon. And the very chemistry that causes it to sparkle enables it to do other fascinating stuff. Diamond originates from coal that has borne tremendous pressure over several decades. Under this immense pressure, the atoms in coal alter their arrangement to yield a denser and infinitely harder substance – diamond. The previously black, opaque coal can now split light and reflect it back as a rainbow of colours.           While coal is undergoing metamorphosis, sometimes, gaseous atoms get tra

IT’S FREEZING INSIDE….THAT TORNADO?           EVEN when outdoor temperature is plummeting, inside an intense tornado, it’s always chilly – no matter the time of year. A new study from Concordia proves why that’s the case.             In an article in the Journal of Aircraft of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Aeronautics, mechanical engineering professor Georgios vatistas looks into the case of a violent tornado that touched down in 1955 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. During the storm, three broadcasters from the mobile unit of a local radio station were reporting live on the scene and had to take shelter in the basement of a stone building. There, as the tornado’s funnel passed overhead, they reported strange climate changes. The temperature dropped from a mid-summer average, down to chilly, until the broadcasters were actually cold. They also found it difficult to breathe.             For 61 years, the cause of these phenomena remained unexplained. Enter Vatistas –

Why is the Jal Mahal unique? T he words ‘jal Mahal’ mean ‘water palace’ and the Jal mahal Palace in Jaipur is just that. It was built in the 18 th century by maharaja jai singh II of Amber, right in the middle of the man sagar Lake.           Made of red sandstone, it is a harmonious blend of the Rajput and Mughal styles of architecture. The 255 years old palace is a five storeyed building, out of which four floors remain under water when the lake is full, and only the top floor is exposed.           Jal Mahal provides a charming view of the Man Sagar Lake, and the Nahargarh Hills that surround it. The palace was built as a pleasure palace for the royal duck shooting parties. The beauty of the palace comes alive in the evening when the entire complex is bathed in flood lights, and Jal Mahal shines like a jewel nestling in the picturesque Aravali Valley.
