Science research

Science is a great blessing to mankind. It has transformed our life to a great extent from what it used to be few years back. The triumph of science is seen everywhere. Science has changed the face of the earth, the world has changed more during the past 100 years than during 4000 years before. In fact, we have ceased to look upon trains or motor cars, electric fans or telegraph or radio as marvels of Science. Today, we see the greatest and marvelous gift of Science that is, ‘fly like a bird’ in the open sky. Since long, man was satisfied with buses, trains or even ships. He wanted to fly in the sky like birds. He craved for wings. This desire of man let to the invention of the aeroplane by the Wright brothers in 1903.

Aeroplanes are the gift of Science as mode of air transportation. Science has made traveling a pleasure particularly air travel. Through air travel, Science has spanned the sky, measured the oceans and wrested from nature many of her hidden treasure. It has annihilated time and distance and made the contact with world easier and quicker. Early man used to go from one place to another on foot and then gradually he used animals as beasts of burden. Thus, road transport progressed and then railways and water transport was invented. However, human being was not satisfied with all this. He invented aeroplanes. With air travel, The whole world is well-connected by a network of different airways.

In today’s world, man has become very tast going and is always occupied with many tasks at one time. He wants to save time in every respect, particularly, when he is to travel from one place to the other place. He doesn’t want to waste a single moment in transit. Under such circumstances, it is air transport only which has helped him in a big way.

Air – travel is found to be most comfortable. There are no hindrances and traffic jams as is mostly there in road transport or problems associated with railways. In India, Tata Sons and National Airways began air operations in 1932 with light and single engined aircraft for the purposes of mail transportation. It was only after World War II that full-fledged advanced type of aircraft started operating in India. They connected all important destinations. Then, in 1953, civil air transport was nationalized in India due to financial constraints being faced by the sector. Since then, tremendous progress has been made. Today, there are various domestic and international airlines carrying passengers to different parts in India and to the various parts of the world.

Though air travel is considered as one of the best contributions of Science yet it has got various limitations. Firstly, it is very costly and only the rich people can avail the facility of air transportation. A common man can travel in the train only. Secondly, air travel can be risky and dangerous. This is because if there is any mishap or accident, there is no chance of survival. Accidents prove to be very fatal and loss of life and property in a huge manner. Also the air travel becomes dangerous whenever the weather condition are adverse.

There has been a constant desire of a man to develop more advanced and sophisticated aeroplanes. He has not been deterred by the hazards of accidents in traveling by aeroplanes. Man has seen the importance of aeroplanes in war times. Today, the United States of America has the most sophisticated fighter planes which can destroy enemy camps within seconds and at any time of the day or night. Today wars are won with the strength of air power.

This wonderful invention of Science in recent years has progressed by leaps and bounds. The emphasis is on more speed, safety, passenger – comfort and convenience. There is more and more competition among various airlines to offer the most competitive rates and most convenient timings. The future of air-travel is bound to get brighter in the times ahead. The efforts are being made to make the air transportation more safe and economical through new researches.

Whenever anyone needs science project ideas, a good place to look is the kitchen. If you think about it, what is done in the kitchen requires a lot of thought, scientific theory, and care, all of which you should find in a good science project. You can view your kitchen as an almost instant science laboratory since you are likely to find almost everything you need to create a good science project.

From the lowest grade level to the highest, your kitchen will always have something to offer you in terms of science project ideas. In elementary grades, the kitchen is a good place to create projects that have to do with phases of matter, heat energy, and the life of plants. For example, showing the different phases of ice is the easiest way to demonstrate matters phases, and you can take it one step further by demonstrating what happens to dry ice.

Heat energy is always seen in the kitchen when you cook. Creating a mini steamer as a science project is always a hit among teachers and students. There are also many project ideas that can be done in the kitchen when it comes to the life of plants. Grafting two plants together or setting up a container garden are both most easily done in the kitchen, and usually kitchens have large windows on which you can place the plant by, therefore making it easier for your child to monitor its growth.

When you get to higher grade levels, your kitchen will still not run out of project ideas to give you. One of the best science project ideas you can do in your kitchen is DNA extraction. Using many of the tools you would use for cooking, and some tools that you find around your home, you can easily extract the DNA of fruits, vegetables, or even humans! Not only is it a fun activity, but the project usually impresses teachers every time!

Remember that though the kitchen is a great place to come up with your project ideas, as well as to execute those ideas, being careful is always the number one most important thing. Apart from being a good place for science, the kitchen is the number one most accident prone room in any household, and so taking the necessary precautions is always best, and it will also assure you that your science project will come out great! So look around your kitchen, and start thinking! You will find that there are so many amazing things you will come up with, and what is great is that you did not have to go very far!

Surface engineering is charismatically growing and highly acceptable science by a modern society. Few examples of such surface engineering are being commercially used in painting, designing, colouring, inks, interior house engineering.

The most attractive practice of surface science is noted in incarving few structures on human body surface like tattoo and several other designs are being frequently noted on the body surfaces. Increasing trends of such practices in society, especially among young generation, infer that the surface engineering has become a source of pleasure and satisfaction.

Probably there are many contributing factors for popularization of surface sciences. Number one factor is that the best and beautiful surfaces are freely available either with human body or within approachable resources without any pre-requist treatment. The desired designing could be made.

The number two is that the surfaces are most visible either to a beneficiary or user of such sciences or to protect the outer surface of the objects.

So investments to be made on such actions are quickly noticed and displayed. So these factors are contributory to other inventions like visionmeter, econoburette, survismeter, by man singh.

These are highly useful for materials to be used for surface engineering at microscale with a green chemistry approach. However the tattoos etc on human skin leave some unwanted effects despite of claims to be highly biocompatible in action mechansim.

Even for surface science point of view, the skin has its own dynamics for maintaining equilibrium between surfaces outside skin and inside skin.

This remains natural process but when an additional load is given to the skin surface then perhaps some additional thermodynamics emerges whose impacts are to be analysed by skin experts and physician etc.

This may establish an interesting biothermodynamics to be applied and assess its relevance with respect to the events of tattoos and similar others. Perhaps further several divisions could dominate along with pleasure giving event out of human surface engineering.
