As far as we know, the universe is made up of fundamental particles like electrons and quarks. Everything we see in the universe, including ourselves, is the result of interactions between these particles. Fundamental forces mean interactions of elementary particles. Four fundamental forces have been identified. They are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force…
Luna 1, launched by the Soviet Union in 1959, was the first spacecraft designed to study the Moon. It was also the first artificial object to leave Earth’s gravity and travel close to the Moon. However, due to a small technical error, it missed its target and became the first human-made object to orbit the…

The Alpine Ibex, a species known for its extraordinary agility, has developed a unique behavior of climbing steep concrete dam walls. Their main objective is to reach the mineral-rich water that seeps through the cracks in the concrete. These minerals are crucial for their survival, providing essential nutrients that are otherwise scarce in their natural…
In our daily lives, we believe we touch objects and surfaces, but fundamentally, this isn’t accurate. All matter is composed of atoms, which include electrons. When atoms come close, their electrons repel each other. This fundamental principle of physics means that objects never actually touch. What we perceive as touch is the electromagnetic force produced…
The Lion’s Mane Jellyfish holds the title for being the largest jellyfish discovered to date, with an astonishing length of 121 feet.
