Implicit differentiation is the main type of differential calculus. It is widely used to find the derivative of one variable with respect to another variable. The derivative is a major topic of calculus used to calculate the rate of change in the given function. The other type of derivative is explicit differentiation. Both types are …
Boolean algebra is derived from algebra which is one of the major branches of mathematics. There are so many branches of mathematics such as calculus, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, numerical analysis etc., which are further elaborated into different categories. These branches are used in almost every field and have different methods to solve their related problems. …

We all have heard of the super photon. It is a photon made up of many thousands of individual light particles. About 10 years ago, a team of researchers at the University of Bonn produced such a photon for the first time and it was a new light source for us. This state called the …
What if we could transplant healthy neurons into patients with neurodegenerative diseases or brain and spinal cord injuries? And what’s more interesting is what if we can grow these neurons in the laboratory using a patient’s own cells with the help of a synthetic, highly bioactive material suitable for 3D printing. New research from Northwestern …

New research from the Washington University in St. Louis has reported the first findings of a new form of fluorine, the isotope 13F. They found this as part of an experiment conducted at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University (MSU). We all know the chemical reactivity of fluorine, which is pretty high. …
New research from the University of Illinois, Chicago has found that some cells increase their activity and grow in large proportions after our death. The study analyzed gene expression in fresh brain tissue, which was collected during routine brain surgery, at multiple times after removal for simulating the post-mortem interval and death. The results were …
A team of researchers from Yale University has launched a new map of places where life has yet to be discovered. They did this in less than a decade after unveiling the “Map of Life”, which is a global database that marks the distribution of known species across the planet. Walter Jetz, a professor at …

Billions of years ago, the Red Planet was far bluer, according to evidence still found on the surface, abundant water flowed across Mars and forming pools, lakes, and deep oceans. The question, then, is where did all that water go? The answer: nowhere. According to new research from Caltech and JPL, a significant portion of …
New research from the University of Illinois Chicago has found that heparanase, HPSE, a poorly understood protein, is a key regulator of cells’ innate defence mechanisms. So what exactly is an innate defence mechanism? As the name suggests, these are cellular mechanisms that are triggered by various danger signals. They have been conserved in many …

A team of Russian scientists have launched one of the world’s largest underwater telescopes to watch deep into the Universe from the water of Lake Baikal. In collaboration with scientists from the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, and Slovakia, the telescope observes neutrinos, which are the smallest particles currently known. The telescope has been in construction …

A team of scientists have confirmed that an unusually powerful particle of antimatter crashed into Antarctica back in December 2016. This collision seems to have triggered a subatomic cascade effect known as Glashow resonance. It is a theoretical phenomenon that requires more energy to set off than even the most powerful particle accelerators can provide. …
