Chitin is obtained from lobster, shrimp, and crab waste and it is a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine. Chitin is second largest natural polymer after cellulose and it plays an important role in various biological structures including fungal cell walls, peritrophic matrix, eggshells from nematodes, cyst wall of protozoa, and crustacean cuticles. Mainly two types of […]

Limestone is a product which is naturally occurred as sedimentary rock, which is comprised of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) or dolomite in natural form. Limestone is formed and produced by gathering and accumulation of remains of different marine organisms including algae, coral, and molluscs. In addition, limestone can be produced with the precipitation of calcium carbonate […]

When the Moon was forming, it had the Lava all around the surface as volcanos kept spitting it out. The same Lava later got cool and formed the cavities or the caves, that could shelter the astronauts on future missions, says NASA. The Lunar caves are suitable for the astronauts to spend some time on […]

Textile chemicals are specialized chemicals such as biocides, flame retardants, water repellents, warp sizes, bleaches, emulsified oils & greases, starch, and others. These chemicals are widely used for various applications in end-use industries such as automotive, construction, industrial protective clothing, and others. Textile chemicals are used for manufacturing and efficient processing of textiles. These textile […]

Insulating material that is used in electrical wire and cables is a protective coating that restricts the electric current passing through the body. The insulating material in electrical field is used as a separator from electrical conductors. When a high voltage electrical shock passes through the body it may result in serious damage that can […]

Scientists always consider Saturn’s Moon Titan as one of the fanciest moons and the place for humans to explore and live.

42-million-year-old fossils of a four-legged whale are being uncovered in Peru. This species is called Peregocetus pacificus; means the whale that traveled and reached Pacific. A new light is shed on the evolution of these ancient aquatic mammals. Studies say that the ancestors of dolphins and whales of today have evolved from a four-limbed hoofed […]

NASA’s Osiris-REx mission is made its way to the Asteroid Bennu and is analyzing the same. After receiving the data from Spacecraft, scientists spotted the flying debris from the bennu asteroid. According to the data and pictures collected from OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, the debris of small particles is flying in space from the Bennu Asteroid. As […]

It’s been months since the last Soyuz capsule take off, which failed but the astronauts were unharmed. Now, the rocket took off with the same capsule and same astronauts to the International Space Station, and they’ve successfully docked to the ISS. American Astronaut Nick Hughes and Russian Astronaut Alexey Ovchinin successfully made it to the […]

NASA and European Space Agency used the data collected by Hubble Space Telescope and Gaia Telescope to calculate the mass of Milky Way Galaxy accurately. The space agencies announced the results of the calculations done using the data from both of the powerful telescopes. The scientists have overcome the difficulty of identifying and weighing the […]

China is one of the innovative nations and is becoming the leader in the Space industry. With the recent success of landing the Chang’e-4 Rover on the far side of the moon, China’s ambitions are now growing more significant with the recent reports of the Chinese Space Agency aiming to build Solar Power Station in […]

NASA already lost the Opportunity rover on the Planet Mars, and they were on the Verge of losing the Curiosity rover. Due to the computer glitch, the Curiosity rover was assumed dead on February 15th, when the Boot-up sequence failed to execute. It was the tense days in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory as the rover […]

Scientists knew that our galaxy Milky Way and Neighbour Andromeda galaxy were going to collide together and that would be a spectacular show. But scientists were unaware of the information about the time when the galaxies are going to crash. Now, the scientists have figured out the time when the two galaxies would collide and […]

Black Holes are the mysterious object in our universe that contains a whole lot of secrets about the formation of our world. With the lights not escaping from it due to strong gravity, it is virtually impossible to capture the image of Black Hole. But scientists have used other techniques and got a clearer image […]

The European Space Agency’s MarsExpress mission managed to capture the Korolev crater that lies closeto […]

It’snot so rare for NASA to send Cubesat missions to the space, but they almost never get dedicated vehicle to the space. With the latest successful launch from Rocket Lab, that is indeed changing. Rocket Lab launched ElaNa-19 to the space, making it the first Cubesat mission to get a dedicated journey to the outer-space.The […]

It was reported a few weeks back that the Voyager 2 probe from NASA would be entering the interstellar space soon. Making the reports right, the probe has passed the heliosphere, thus entering the area that is now called the Interstellar space. The Heliosphere refers to the plasma bubble that is part of the solar […]

The global population is now consistently being warned about how the ongoing global warming could lead to the extinction of human and other living beings, making the Earth an inhabitable place. Now, a study has suggested that one of the biggest extinction in the history of Earth was caused by nothing other than a rapid […]

NASA made yet another milestone in the history of space exploration by successfully landing the anticipated InSight Lander on the Martian surface.
