New Study Reveals Clues Behind Twisted Graphene Superconductor

Scientists at The Ohio State University have produced new evidence of how graphene, when twisted to a precise angle, can become a superconductor. In a study published in the journal Nature, the team reported on their finding of the key role that quantum geometry plays in allowing this twisted graphene to become a superconductor. Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms, and in 2018, scientists discovered that, under the right conditions, graphene could become a superconductor if one piece of graphene were laid on top of another piece and the layers were twisted to a specific angle. This creates twisted bilayer graphene. However, the conventional theory of superconductivity doesn't work in this situation. In a conventional metal, high-speed electrons are responsible for conductivity. But twisted bilayer graphene has a type of electronic structure known as a "flat band" in which the electrons move very slowly—in fact, at a speed that approaches zero if the angle is exactl...

Empowering Women for a Sustainable Future “Climate Change in Nepal”

Climate change is one of the most significant challenges facing humanity today, with devastating impacts on people, animals, and the environment. Nepal is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, with the Himalayan region being particularly affected. In this context, it is crucial to understand the intersectionality of climate change with gender and its impact on the people of Nepal, especially women. Women in Nepal are often the most affected by the impacts of climate change, as they are disproportionately responsible for household and community-level tasks such as food and water collection, which are affected by climate change. Women are also more likely to live in poverty and have fewer resources and opportunities to adapt to the impacts of climate change. One of the most significant impacts of climate change on women in Nepal is related to agriculture. Women in Nepal are responsible for up to 80% of agricultural work, but their access to resources such as land, water...

The Power of word ॐ: "Impact on the Body and Mind"

OM, also known as  ॐ , is one of the most sacred and important words in Hinduism. It is a syllable that represents the sound of the universe and is believed to be the first sound that was ever heard. In Hinduism, it is considered to be the primordial sound that created the universe and is used in many religious rituals and ceremonies. However, OM is not only significant in Hinduism but also in the field of physics. The sound of OM is believed to have a profound impact on the human body and mind. Its vibration and frequency can resonate with the human body, creating a sense of calmness and relaxation.  In physics, the concept of vibration and frequency is also significant. According to quantum physics, everything in the universe is made up of energy and vibrations. Even the smallest particles in the universe, such as atoms and subatomic particles, vibrate at a certain frequency. The frequency of these particles determines their physical properties, such as their mass and charge...

The land of Gorkhali, Nepal Takes on Climate Change: Investing in Renewable Energy, Forest Preservation, and Sustainable Tourism

The land of Gorkhali & the birth place of Buddha , Nepal - As a country that is home to Mount Everest and the Himalayas, Nepal is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. However, Nepal can also play an important role in mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change.Nepal has significant potential for hydroelectric power, solar power, and wind power. By investing in renewable energy sources, Nepal can reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and decrease its carbon footprint. In a recent statement, Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli announced plans to increase the share of renewable energy in Nepal's energy mix to 30% by 2025.  Nepal is also home to some of the world's most extensive forest areas, which play a vital role in carbon sequestration and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By protecting and restoring these forests, Nepal can help mitigate the effects of climate change. The government of Nepal has also implemented programs to reduce deforestation and pr...

Einstein's Famous Equation E=m*c^2

Einstein's famous equation E=m*c^2 has been a cornerstone of modern physics for over a century, but its derivation is still a topic of fascination and study. The derivation of E=m*c^2 involves several key concepts from physics, including the principle of conservation of energy and the theory of special relativity. The equation states that the energy E of an object is equal to its mass m times the speed of light squared, c^2. This means that even a small amount of mass can be converted into a vast amount of energy, as demonstrated by nuclear reactions . As it is noticeable, the principle of conservation of energy is a fundamental concept in physics, stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.  The article also highlights the importance of the theory of special relativity, which was proposed by Einstein in 1905 and revolutionized our understanding of space and time. The article goes on to describe how Einstein used the equation for relativistic mass to deriv...

The Secret Weapon for Researchers' Success; Coffee

Coffee has been a beloved beverage for centuries, and for good reason. Not only does it provide a quick jolt of energy, but it also has numerous health benefits, including reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and liver cancer. But did you know that drinking coffee can also be beneficial for those who are engaged in research? In this article, we will explore how drinking coffee during research can be helpful.  (1). It i ncreased alertness and concentration:   One of the most well-known benefits of coffee is its ability to increase alertness and concentration. This is due to the presence of caffeine, a natural stimulant that blocks the neurotransmitter adenosine, which is responsible for making us feel drowsy. By blocking adenosine, caffeine increases the activity of other neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, which can improve mood, cognitive function, and reaction time. For researchers, this can be inc...
