Key Points Renewable energy currently accounts for about 27% of global electricity generation, but has a lower share in the heating and transport sector, resulting in a share of about 11% in global total energy consumption. Currently, the largest renewable energy source is hydropower, but its growth is decelerating. The renewable energy source with the …
Key Points Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel. It also is the quickest growing fossil fuel. Natural gas today accounts for about a quarter of global primary energy demand. Alongside renewable energy sources, natural gas is considered as important to transition to a lower-carbon energy system. Global Energy Usage Global primary energy consumption is …
What is a Bacteriophage? A bacteriophage (A.K.A. phage) is a virus for bacteria. The term “Bacteriophage” was created from “bacteria” and the greek word “φαγεῖν (phagein)” that means “to devour”. There are more phages than every other organism combined, including bacteria (10^31). Up to 70% of marine bacteria are potentially infected by phages. Phages only …
Introduction The first working laser was developed in 1960. Since then, there have been multiple applications in science and in industry. Applications include barcode readers, LiDAR, Optical tweezers, Laser cutting, Laser cooling and ultra-fast photography. A laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. A laser is a very narrow beam of light …
Computer systems run on code and algorithms, which determines the result before execution. So, are random number generators truly random? Pseudo Random Number Generators (PRNG) The typical random number generators that we find online or on our calculators are actually not truly random. Numbers are generated by algorithms, which means that the sequence of numbers …
Elementary Particles and Types of Neutrinos The universe is composed of atoms, which are made of an electron and a nucleus that contains protons and neutrons. If we go even smaller, we get to elementary particles, which cannot be further reduced. Elementary particles can be grouped into bosons, which make up the fundamental forces of …
