How to read a book without opening it...

Book lovers :-  Scientists have devised a way to read without cracking a volume’s spine or risking paper cuts (and no, we’re not talking about e-books).

The new method uses terahertz radiation — light with wavelengths that are between microwave and infrared waves — to view the text of a closed book.

The technique is not meant for your average bookworm, but for reading rare books that are too fragile to open.

The silent killer in your home

    Wi-Fi :- a silent killer that kills us slowly

Wi-Fi stands for wireless networks that provide you a connection to many devices without those boring cables. Wi-Fi is all around us, even in places where it is not necessarily needed. It is most suitable for mobile phones, and companies who make these give out specific instructions for the services they offer so they do not put our health at risk.

However, things are not as bright as they seem. Believe it or not, Wi-Fi kills us slowly without any warning.

Three fundamental modes of heat transfer

HEAT  TRANSFER is the exchange of thermal energy between physical systems. The rate o of heat transfer is dependent on the temperatures of the systems and the properties of the intervening medium through which the heat is transferred. 

The three fundamental modes of heat transfer are CONDUCTION,  CONVECTION  & RADIATION. 

✔Thermal conduction

Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat (internal energy ) by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. The microscopically colliding objects, that include molecules, atoms, and electrons, transfer disorganized microscopic kinetic and potential energy, jointly known as internal energy. Conduction takes place in all phases of matter, such as solids, liquids, gases and plasmas. The rate at which energy is conducted as heat between two bodies is a function of the temperature difference (temperature gradient ) between the two bodies and the properties of the conductive medium through which the heat is transferred. Thermal conduction was originally called diffusion.

10 Things That Have a Damaging Effect on the Brain

1. Not getting enough sleep

This phenomenon, familiar to anyone, is becoming a global problem. According to the WHO, over the past 100 years, people began to sleep an average of 20% less. Severe lack of sleep creates the risk thatdifferent parts of the brain move into a phase of slow wave sleep in the state of wakefulness. As a result, a person can’t concentrate and his fine motor skills deteriorate. The regular lack of sleep leads to brain cell death.

2. Lack of breakfast

Skipping the morning meal affects the performance and energy of the person during the day. It seems obvious, but the point here is not so much the consumption of energy necessary for the body, but the fact that lack of breakfast lowers the level of sugar in the blood. This in turn reduces and hinders the flow of nutrients to the brain.                              
3. Sugar

The preceding paragraph explains why it is recommended to eat sweets, especially dark chocolate, to have a good brain performance. However, excessive amounts of sugar cause problems with the assimilation of protein and nutrients. It leads to the same result as the low level of blood sugar: the brain does not receive enough nutrients.
