Supernatural Science

INTRODUCTION Chemistry is not just a subject rather it is a type of process which is happening every time around us. Chemistry plays an important role in our daily lives like the sour taste of lemon or the soap we use for washing. Three most of the important chemical compounds which we encounter everyday are acids,bases and salts. These compounds can be found in our food,medicines,cleaning products and even inside our bodies. It is essential to understand them for being aware about the working of World at basic level. In this blog post, we'll explore acids,bases and salts along with their properties,examples,uses and importance in our daily lives . Sup WHAT ARE ACIDS? An acid is a substance which produces Hydrogen (H+) ions when dissolved in water. Acids usually have a spur taste and can be corrosive in nature. The word 'acid' comes from the Latin word acidus which means sour. Properties of Acids ● Sour in taste such as lemon or vinegar ●Turn blue ...

INTRODUCTION  One of the greatest achievements of modern science are the medicines as they cure infections and manage chronic diseases which saves millions of lives every year and play an important role in human health. But it is surely a point of wonder,how such a tiny pill or injection is created? In what way do scientists design medicines which target specific diseases without harming the organs of body? The answer lies in the design of drug where chemistry, biology,technology and medicine come together. In this blog,we will explore the designing,development and testing of the medicines. How they reach finally to the patients will also be highlighted which shows science behind every bite we take. Sup WHAT IS DRUG DESIGN? The scientific process of creating or discovering new medicines which can treat,prevent or cure diseases is known as Drug design. It begins with identifying a biological target like protein,enzyme or a gene which is involved in a disease and then a...

INTRODUCTION  It is definitely a wonderful thing to smell a freshly baked bread because its smell is irresistible,lemon tastes so sharp and chocolate immediately melts into the mouth,ever wondered Why? All the answers lie in the field of chemistry. Each and every flavor,aroma and the texture that we experience during eating is the result of complex chemical reactions which happens in the food—before,after and even while cooking the food. Sup Food can only be not considered as a fuel,rather it is a delicious chemistry experiment which happens on our plates. In this blog post,let's explore what exactly flavor is? , the sense of taste,how aroma is the soul of flavor and the chemical reactions which comes in action during the process of cooking. WHAT IS FLAVOR? Whenever we say that some kind of food tasted very delicious, we actually mean about the combination of taste,smell and texture that it carries. The tongue can detect only five types of basic tastes which are as foll...

INTRODUCTION  Let's think about predators,what we mostly imagine are the lions,sharks and eagles. However, on the other hand plants are often seen as passive organisms which are deeply rooted in place,quietly grow by utilizing sunlight,water and nutrients of the soil. But,nature always loves to surprise us. Around the world,there are some environments which are poor in nutrients and in that places exists a group of fascinating plants called as carnivorous plants and they have flipped the script of survival—they are known as green predators of nature. Sup Carnivorous plants are not just mere fictional monster,neither they are harmful for human beings. Instead,they are elegant and highly specialized organisms which have evolved unique hunting mechanisms for capturing and digesting insects to compensate for nutrient-deficient soils. In this blog post,we will explore the carnivorous plants 🪴 and the mechanisms by which they hunt down the animals mainly insects as they have...

INTRODUCTION  From centuries, life is considered as something which could only arise naturally that is through evolution,reproduction and the slow processes of nature. Nowadays science is challenging these ideas. Around the world,in laboratories scientists and researchers are no longer just studying living organisms rather they are attempting to design and build life itself.  This revolutionary field is known as synthetic life and it is reshaping our understanding of biology,technology and what it truly means to be alive. In this blog post,we will explore what is synthetic life,its uses and what ethical issues arise from such processes.  Sup WHAT IS SYNTHETIC LIFE? The living systems which are artificially created or significantly redesigned by human beings using principles of biology, chemistry, engineering and computer science are referred to as synthetic life. In genetically modified organisms (GMOs),existing life is altered,howeve...

INTRODUCTION  One of the most terrifying natural disasters on Earth is an Earthquake as they strike without warning,shaking cities,destroy the infrastructure and claim lives in a matter of seconds. The question about the prediction of earthquakes repeatedly arises because of its unpredictable nature,from the 2004 devastating Indian Ocean earthquake to the recent tremors felt across Asia. Despite of so many advancements in science and technology,prediction of earthquake remain one of the greatest challenges in modern geophysics.  In this blog post,we will explore about the earthquakes and why their prediction is so unreliable and how close is to science in making the prediction of earthquakes more reliable. Sup CAUSES OF EARTHQUAKES  Before prediction, we must first understand about the earthquakes.  The outer layer of the Earth is known as lithosphere which is divided into large slabs known as tectonic plates. These plates are in constant motion,althoug...
