At one point in the universe’s long and ongoing history, evolution began with the smallest of sea creatures. Since then, there have been many waves of evolution, and with genetic engineering, humankind will be able to remain adjustable to lifestyle and environmental changes. It may potentially be the peak of the “fittest” that Darwin proposed in 1869. Genetic engineering is not a science fiction fantasy anymore either- is it legitimate and it is growing. Will you grow and adapt with genetic…

Merging the Gap Between Science and the Media Science has provided solutions to the most puzzling diseases in society, but more recently, a lurking illness resides in an unexpected area: the media. The advent of modern technology is, undoubtedly, a powerful and profound transformation for human civilization, and the media is a standing testament to technological feasibilities: information, news and social trends are now accessible to the public 24 hours a day. However, accessibility is not…

I came to the U.S 6 years ago with hopes and dreams of a better education. As a first-generation student, with parents who don’t understand the language very well, I’ve been on my own to succeed academically. My biggest obstacles that I encountered were the language and cultural barriers. When I first came, I was able to speak English at a basic level. My reading ability was poor and I could hardly understand academic vocabularies. I also experienced a tremendous culture-shock. I had problem…

Carbon nanotubes are an allotrope of carbon. They take the form of cylindrical carbon molecules and have novel properties that make them potentially useful in a wide variety of applications in nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science. Properties of carbon nanotubes include high electrical conductivity, very high tensile strength, very flexible; can be bent considerably without damage, very elastic, high thermal conductivity…

In recent year’s nanorobotics have emerged at the forefront of medical advancement. Although nanorobotics is largely still in the research and development stage, there are current applications for them. Nanorobotics has shown promise in the treatment of diabetes, cancer, surgical procedures and a multitude of other ailments. In 1986, K. Eric Drexler introduced the idea of injecting the small robots into the human body (Manjunath, A., 2014). Imagine a world where surgery in non-invasive and lasts…

Studies This text is a fairly short opinion piece written by Matt Frohlich for The Spectrum (Frohlich). The Spectrum is the paper of North Dakota State University where Matt is an academic researcher and received a master’s degree in Materials and Nanotechnology (Frohlich). Prior to that, he graduated from the University of North Dakota with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering (Frohlich). In the beginning of the text, the author recommends the book “Who Stole Feminism?” (1996) by Christina Hoff…

Challenges for skill development initiatives 1) The enormous size of the task in building a system of adequate capacity 2) Ensuring equitable access to all, in particular the youth, disadvantaged groups, minorities, the poor, women, people with disabilities, dropouts, and those working in the unorganized sector 3) Reducing mismatch between supply and demand of skills 4) Diversifying skill development programmes to meet the changing requirements, particularly of the emerging knowledge economy 5)…

spambots” overwhelm the comment sections below articles, a reader’s perception can be skewed. This was proven by a study conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison that looked at the influence of uncivil comments on a fake blog post on nanotechnology. Lead researcher, Dominique Brossard, found that “uncivil comments not have only polarized readers, but they often changed a participant’s interpretation of the news story itself.” This is leading to the erosion of scientific facts. These…
