COVER STORY All space and time and everything that exists is part of the universe. All matter, energy with the seen structures (like stars and galaxies) along with their invisible counterparts are a matter of study in modern cosmology which is the study of the universe as a whole. However, there are some conceptual parallels of unseen aspects of reality in spiritual context, which exist in ancient Indian scripts like Bhagavad Gita and Sankhya philosophy, where the notion of Avyakata (meaning the unmanifest or unseen) may resemble the modern genesis of dark matter and dark energy, both of which are…
Given the abundance of electronic devices around us, it is challenging to envision modern life without batteries. These gadgets rely on different types of batteries for power. As efficient energy storage solutions, batteries are widely used in various applications. They play an inevitable role in the shift toward sustainable energy. Since the mid-18th century, battery designs have undergone significant changes continuously, driven by continuous technological progress. The electrolytes used in batteries have evolved from liquid or gel-based forms to solid-state materials. The current research to bring solid-state battery technology to market has made remarkable progress recently. The primary concern in…
NEW FRONTIERS OF SCIENCE The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to a set of functions that enable computers to execute tasks similar to those of human intelligence through computer-based algorithms. It utilises various computational programmes to simulate human intelligence, enabling the solution to complex problems and the development of reasoning cycles. AI is divided into several sub-areas including machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), neural networks (NN), natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and cognitive computing. In the case of ML, it involves identifying patterns and analysing previous data to make a potential conclusion. Another subset of ML is Deep…
