Materials science

A tall, inhuman being created by men who had the foolish ambition to alter what it means to be human all possible through genetic engineering if the science goes that far. If the first part of that sentence seems familiar, it is because it strikes many of the same chords of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein when Frankenstein created the monster in his lab. Technology, no matter if it can be used for good, can become monstrous if the technology goes down morally questionable roads. Genetic…

a person may be limited or hindered because they cannot perform the action they first perceived to want or aspired to do.(Lau) In this case my love for science being stopped by the fact that we could not afford gas. Something that I could not control can affect my outcome in life. many factors such as these can change your career, including race, gender, family status, family income, family problems, and…

home of a wealthy family, and instead woke suddenly in the lab of his creator, scared and mostly alone. These two very different situations should have made Frankenstein and his creation very different beings. Instead, the line between scientist and science experiment become increasingly blurred. In his search for an identity, the monster causes Frankenstein…

headache or even a disease as bad as HIV? Well, a biochemist is one career in which he or she may develop new materials. He or she must go through many years of education along with doing a lot of research. Being a biochemist is a very important, interesting, and valuable career. To become a successful biochemist, it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and understanding of math and science. When an individual thinks about becoming a biochemist, there are many important questions that…

the relativity theory. There have existed a lot of theories about her involvement in the works of Einstein. In the past decade newly found documents have offered enticing glimpse of a woman who was ambitious and shared her husband’s interest in science. Translations of this evidence have brought about heated debates resulting into controversy on what role she really…

research. It to some extends can lead ethical issue and fatal damage, especially in the medical research. The responsibility to conduct a research in a right way is fundamental to the quality of science in our discipline. Therefore, fraud and misconduct in scientific research will affect the quality of science and the advancement of knowledge. This paper selects several ethical issues of data reporting in Research Ethics and discusses a case in traditional Chinese medicine with the kinds of…

I can remember, I have never really been able to sympathize with religion. The ideas presented were often too far-fetched or otherwise outlandish for me to appreciate. I have always been more for the sciences. This is not to say that the two cannot coexist, rather that the systematic nature of science has always appealed to me far more than the more ethereal nature of religious thought has. That being said, now that I have learned a bit more about Hinduism, and now that I have been able to step…

Hitching a Ride on a Light Beam Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences, undergirding astronomy, chemistry, geology, biology, and—absent some paradigm-shattering revelation—human thought and action. Its analytical methods and machines have plumbed the unknown and the inaccessible, from the submicroscopic confines of the atomic nucleus to the billowing expanse of the observable universe. Physics has superseded our biochemically mediated perceptions of the world, replacing qualitative…

For decades, researchers have been making large strides in medical science, causing the cost of medical research and care to rise drastically. Many medical institutions remain dedicated to nonprofit studies with the goal of benefiting the greater community, but a large portion of them choose to commercialize in order to turn a profit, causing many to debate whether or not it is ethical to put a price on a human life. One contributor to the argument is Rebecca Skloot, whose book, The Immortal…

RESEARCH TASK AND WRITTEN REPORT Many theoretical and experimental problems were not solved in the early twentieth century. There were attempts to explain the behaviour of matter on the atomic level with the laws of classical physics however they were not accurate nor successful. It was not until the period between 1900 and 1930 where a revolution occurred and a generalised formulation called quantum mechanic was developed. And since the understanding of the structure of the nucleus of the atoms…
