Presenting One of the Most Amazing Organisms On Earth. . . . . . So, Let's Get Started. Armillaria ostoyae (Largest Living Organism by Area) Image Credit: Wikipedia Armillaria ostoyae, also known as the "Humongous fungus", is the record holder of being the largest organism in the world by area. The areal size of Humongous fungus is about 2,400 acres i.e. 9.6 square km. It is very common in the western region of the U.S. These are the type of parasitic fungi which depend on other plants of survival. Due to the easy availability of land and nutrients, Humongous fungus has grown to this extent. Pando (Largest Living Organism by Mass) Image Credit: Wikipedia Pando is the world's largest organism in the world by mass of all time. It is so big that it covers about 106 acres of land and weighs about 60,00,000 kg. It's estimated age is about 80,000 years. Populus Tremuloides is a scientific name given to this giant. Pando also has a record o

If you know what Moore's Law says, then you know that performance gets doubled every two years as number transistors on a chip double every year and thus you have to pay lesser money for your smart devices. But, there are certain limitations of processors. When we will reach the atomic level of chip production, we cannot improve the speed and capability of our processors. No problem. Carbon Nanotubes are here. Recently, MIT Researchers have found a way to use carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in microcontrollers which are better than traditional silicon microcontrollers. They made 16-bit RISC-V microprocessor with carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs). This is a microscopic image of  RV16X-Nano die (image credit: Nature) These microprocessors are capable to save 10 times energy than silicon microprocessor. By overcoming the defects and getting full control over fabricating CNFETs, the execution was super accurate. The fabrication is done with carbon nanotubes deposit

RV16XNano is a 16-bit microprocessor works on RISC-V instruction set that runs standard 32-bit instructions on 16-bit data. The processor comprised of more than 14,000 metal-oxide-semiconductors CNFE

Hii, This is Science Feed. In 2009, 3.5 million years old bacteria was found in the permafrost region on Mammoth Mountain in Siberia's Yakutsk Region. The bacteria was named 'Bacillus F' which was found by the Russian Scientist named Anatoli Brouchkov, head of the Geocryology Department at Moscow State University. After numbers of experiments, it was found that those mice which were injected with these bacterias have far better strength and immune system than normal mice. Each time the experiment was done, the results were the same. Curiously, One day Dr. Brouchkov injected himself with these 3.5 million old bacteria without knowing what would happen to his body. The problem was that scientists didn't know how the bacteria increase life span in mice. And about humans, not even a penny !!! He became the first guinea pig for the experiment In a statement, Dr. Brouchkov said that since the day he injected himself with, he felt more energetic and healthier. He eve

Hii, This is Science Feed. Have you ever heard about strange matter ?? . . . . . If no, then this line is for you ;) "Strange Matter is a hypothetical form of quark matter which is more stable than nuclear matter." There is a reason for saying it strange. It is predicted that strange matter is found in the core of the neutron star. Neutron stars are one of the densest bodies in the universe. When a star, having 8 times the mass of its initial mass, gets exhausted all its nuclear fuel, then the star starts collapsing in its own core and temperature exceeds. As temperature rises, electrons and protons start forming neutrons by the electron capture process. Slowly, the repulsion force and neutron pressure stop the contraction of the core but start moving outwards leading to the formation of a supernova. Inside supernova, if the left core has 3 times less than the mass of the initial star, it becomes a neutron star. Otherwise, it becomes a black hole. Now, ins
