Can Humans Echolocate?

In short, the answer is yes, and there are individuals who can prove it. Daniel Kish, now an adult, claims that his blindness from the age of thirteen months doesn’t hinder his active life. He can go camping, swimming, and hiking with no problem, all thanks to his ability to echolocate. And Thomas Trajo, who […]

Is Cracking Your Knuckles Bad For You?

Many people believe that cracking your knuckles is harmful and can lead to many other diseases such as arthritis. Although there hasn’t been much research in knuckle and joint cracking, evidence shows that it isn’t damaging. A doctor from California did a study that followed subjects for 60 years to prove this.

Quantum Cryptography: Quantum Key Distribution

By Natasha Poon With the rise of quantum computers (powerful computers that use qubits, the basic unit of information in a quantum computer, rather than bits, which are used in regular computers), regular forms of cryptography such as RSA will be easy to decrypt. Governments are planning to converti encrypted RSA files to Post-Quantum cryptography, […]

Is Nuclear Energy The Future?

With hydropower making up approximately 60% of our energy generated, it is the prime producer for our power grids. Hydropower has been the highest share of energy production for over a century, and the future for it looks bright. However, have we as a country been ignoring a more powerful option? Is there a way to produce […]
