Let’s have a moment of Science.
No Farmers, No Food

So what happens when this 70% is forced is to suddenly change the way they sell their products? This is what happened as a result of the Indian agriculture acts…
Blast from the Past: September 25
After an extended break, The Science Lab is back with another invention that help the world transfer into the modern era. In 1956, on the 25th of September, the first working telephone cable system (TAT-1) was laid between Oban, Scotland and Clarenville, Newfoundland, representing a major step towards global connectivity. The TAT-1 line was composed…
Does Stress Impact Technical Interview Performance?
A new study by North Carolina State University and Microsoft shows that most technical interviewers test your ability to perform under pressure rather than your actual technical skills. Previous research found that many software developers believed the interview process was deeply flawed, so NC State and Microsoft put it to the test. In this study,…
Genetically Modified Mosquitoes
Local Florida Keys officials have recently approved a much-awaited experiment concerning mosquitoes. With 26 and rising reported cases of dengue fever in the Florida Keys, officials hope to stop the spread and prevent another dengue fever outbreak on top of the current crisis of COVID-19. Scientists at Oxitec (a UK-based biotechnology company) have found a…
The Terzo Millennio
The Terzo Millennio: the future of automobiles and mechanical appliances. This astonishing new Lamborghini has opened up a gateway of possibilities for what it means for something to be “smart”. The Terzo Millenio is especially interesting because it has the ability to self-heal and is fully electric. The Terzo Millenio uses super capacitors rather than…
Blast from the Past: August 2
This week on Blast from the Past, we are featuring two tremendous inventions, one that keeps working hardly, and one the hardly works.

Neowise: The Comet of the Millennia
Comet Neowise flew past the earth earlier this week. It was the first comet able to be seen by the naked eye since the mid-1990’s, when Halley’s Comet had been seen. Another fact that makes this a very special event is the size of the comet’s orbit. Halley’s Comet has an orbit of 75 years,…
Signs to Speech
Technology has drastically changed our lifestyles since the beginning of the Digital Age. Many inventions such as the smartphone, social media, Artificial Intelligence, etc have connected everyone in the world. This glove-like device can help everyone connect with each other even more. A group of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have created…
Color Psychology
Colors are a huge part of our lives and impact many of our emotions. The colors we wear often unconsciously reflect our moods. Getting to know what type of emotions different colors reflect can help us express ourselves better while also being able to better understand others. Each color has a separate meaning and interpretations…
What do Blind People See?
Let’s start off by listing the 5 senses: sight, smell, sound, taste and touch. Each of these senses help animals make sense of the world around them. These senses vary depending on species, genetics, and adaptations. So what if one of these senses are damaged or lost? We can view this question from two different…
