Could circular runways be the future of air travel? This man thinks so   This radical concept will make takeoff and landing less risky. Henk Hesselink :                                          In a bid to manage air traffic efficiently, a radical and novel concept proposes to abandon the traditional runways at airports for a circular runway. Titled as “ the Endless Runway”,  the breakthrough model intends to shift the lift-off and touchdown points of aircraft. After spending years researching on the subject, Aviation expert Henk Hesselink of the Netherlands Aerospace Centre believes that circular runways could be the future of air travel. “My big idea is a circular runway. Aircraft can takeoff and land at points on this circle to make certain they have no crosswind and only headwind,” Hesselink was quoted as saying by bbc. The main highlight of this concept is th...

   THE TRUE SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE OF INDIA Science is grounded on the principle of reproducibility of results. The claims of advanced science and technology in the ancient world are based on some references in ancient scripts that may be wholly imaginary. Flying, for instance, has caught humankind’s imagination across cultures right from ancient times. Such references should be taken for the myths they are, not as scientific facts. Scientists have been able to create animal chimeras that have cells/organs of different species, much as what Greek mythology describes. Should the Greeks then be taken as pioneers in the science of chimera production? Thanks to our understanding of genetics and the ability to fertilise eggs outside the body, producing designer babies is no longer in the realm of science fiction. Should the creators of the science fiction then be credited with devising the procedures? Compare this with how Sir Arthur C. Clarke documented his idea of communication...

       MEANING OF TECHNOLOGY AND ITS USE Related Terms The purposeful application of information in the design, production, and utilization of goods and services, and in the organization of human activities. Technology can be described in the following ways: Tangible : blueprints, models, operating manuals, prototypes. Intangible: consultancy, problem-solving, and training methods. High: entirely or almost entirely automated and intelligent technology that manipulates ever finer matter and ever powerful forces. Intermediate: semiautomated partially intelligent technology that manipulates refined matter and medium level forces. Low: labor-intensive technology that manipulates only coarse or gross matter and weaker forces.  1.Hydroelectricity   or  hydroelectric  power is the electricity obtained by harnessing the power of water flowing down from a high level. It is a timeless and renewable resource. Huge generators convert the potential en...

      What you should know about flexible mobile displays. Samsung, LG, and others have been showing off flexible displays and even a  prototype phone  for years, but it's only now that bendy screens are going commercial. Samsung's Galaxy Round  and  LG's G Flex  raise a lot of questions about what a flexible display is and isn't, what the word really means, and just what kinds of benefits a bendable display would bring to a smartphone or any other gadget. What is a flexible display anyway? Colloquially, "display" means the thing you see when you look at your phone and navigate around. But more technically, display refers to the electronic material that sits beneath the glass or plastic cover (the part you actually touch) and is responsible for lighting up your phone. So when Samsung and LG (or anyone) talk about a flexible display, they're talking about the organic light-emitting diode, or OLED, layer -- located beneath the cover glass -- that's ...
