Abstract Climate change today is a leading problem with adverse effects to the life forms on Earth. In nature, plants play an important role in capturing CO2 from the atmosphere. Emulating plant photosynthesis for sequestering CO2 from small vehicles is a step towards combating climate change. The focus of this research is to efficiently sequester […]
Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell is an astrophysicist from the University of Oxford, England. In 1967, Burnell’s work in astrophysics led her to the discovery of pulsars – round, compact objects that are roughly the size of a large city and have a larger mass than the sun. [1] This breakthrough is thought to be […]
In recent years, interest in health and fitness has risen dramatically; more people are turning towards vigorous exercise regimens to maintain fitness and mobility even as they age. However, not everyone is able to do these kinds of exercises. Living in a community surrounded by elderly neighbours, I noticed that the elderly lack the ability […]
Abstract In this scientific review paper, humanity’s interest in stars relating to the importance of an understanding of astrophysics is discussed. It is followed with an explanation of stellar evolution, including aspects such as hydrostatic equilibrium and the mechanism for nuclear fusion. Following this, the Pauli Exclusion Principle is expanded upon, and how it pertains […]
