“Everything is made up of matter, but what is matter made up of”? Matter makes up us and everything around us, but there are smaller things that make up matter, called as atoms. They are not visible to humans through human eye but extremely powerful microscopes can help us barely see them. Structure of atoms:…

Radioactivity
Radioactivity is the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by releasing radiation in the form of particle or electromagnetic waves. During radioactive decay, an atom emits specific types of radiation, which vary in factors like mass and charge. There are three types of radiation that are released: Alpha Particles: This type of…

UV and IR Light
Ultraviolet(UV) light and Infrared light(IR) are two forms of invisible electromagnetic radiation which are on opposite ends of the visible light spectrum. UV light has high energy and a shorter wave length making it suitable for sterilization (the process of removing all forms of microbial life) and IR light which has a longer wavelength and…

Nanorobots in Medicine
Nanobots are some of the smallest types of robots which can be used for medical purposes and are made to navigate the body at a cellular level. They usually range from 0.5 to 3 micrometers in size. They offer precision in performing delicate surgery, diagnosing diseases and transport drugs to affected tissue without affecting any…

Matter vs Antimatter
Matter is what makes up everything. Matter is made up of small particles called atoms. There are two different forms of matter in the Universe- matter & antimatter. Both matter and antimatter are equal in mass but opposite in charge. Matter consists of protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks and leptons. Antimatter is composed of antiquarks, antileptons,…
