The Psychology of Learning: How the Brain Remembers
Introduction Learning is one of the most important skills people use every day. From the moment a child begins to speak to the time an adult masters a job skill, the brain works constantly to take in, store, and use new...
Black Holes: What They Are and Why They Matter
Introduction Black holes are some of the strangest and most powerful objects in the universe. They form when massive stars collapse under their own gravity, creating regions in space where the pull is so strong that...
Carl Linnaeus: The Father of Modern Taxonomy
Carl Linnaeus is one of the most important figures in the history of science, especially in the fields of biology and taxonomy. Known as the “Father of Modern Taxonomy,” he developed a classification system...
Understanding Momentum and Impulse in Physics
Momentum and impulse are two closely related concepts in physics that describe the motion of objects and the effects of forces applied over time. These concepts are essential for understanding collisions, explosions...

Understanding Forces and Motion in Physics
Forces and motion are fundamental concepts in physics that explain how objects move and interact with one another. From the motion of planets to the simplest act of pushing a cart, forces govern the physical world...
Understanding Kinematic Equations in Physics
Kinematics is a branch of mechanics in physics that deals with the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion. The kinematic equations are a set of four essential equations that describe the...
Earth: The Greatest Legacy and Our Ultimate Responsibility
Let’s take a step back and consider our 13.7 billion-year-old universe, home to an extraordinary planet that is about 4.5 billion years old: the Earth. Our planet, even from its infancy, has cradled countless...
Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding plays an important role in Chemistry – they help to form compounds with elements. Today, we will be discussing the different types of bonds and intermolecular forces of attraction. Covalent Bonding...
Enzymes: What Are They?
We know that proteins help with many different functions. One of such proteins is enzymes. After the translation of mRNA into enzyme molecules, they can help to catalyse biochemical reactions. Today, we will be talking...
Atomic Structure
Most of us know what atoms are – they are so small that almost none of us have seen them with our own eyes. However, with the advancement of technology and science, we can now visualise and understand them and their...
Cells: The Building Blocks of Life
From young, we have learnt that cells make up living things. Cells are the smallest building blocks of life and form larger living tissues and organs that make up the organism. Today, we will be discussing the cell...
Organic Chemistry: Alkenes
Unless you have studied chemistry at some point in your life, you probably would not know what alkenes are. However, if I were to tell you that alkenes are used to make plastic, you would probably have a better idea...
Organic Chemistry: Alkanes
You probably have heard of the term “alkanes” before but may be wondering what they are. We often encounter Alkanes in our daily lives – natural gas, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), propellants, fuels, and...
Viruses: The Lytic and Lysogenic Cycles
As we all know, cells are the most basic unit of life. We, humans, are comprised of so many cells – there are more cells in our bodies than stars in the Milky Way. Cells reproduce either by dividing to form two...
