#KnowledgeBit: #Neurotechnology encompasses any method or electronic device which interfaces with the nervous system to monitor or modulate neural activity.
For example, #Neuralink's brain-computer interface is a fully implantable, cosmetically invisible technology designed to let you control a computer or mobile device anywhere you go.

#KnowledgeBit: That the derivatives of the position vector (x) with respect to time have interesting names:
Velocity (v) = dx/dt
Acceleration (a) = d²x/dt²
Jerk (j) = d³x/dt³
Snap (s) = d⁴x/dt⁴

#KnowledgeBit: An organ-on-a-chip (OOC) is a miniature device that mimics the functions of a human organ or even a simple organ system. It's essentially a miniaturized, engineered environment built on a microfluidic chip.
As the technology advances, OOCs have the potential to revolutionize drug discovery, personalized medicine, and our understanding of human health and disease.

#KnowledgeBit: On June 4, 1967, in a first for sports professionals, a group of high-profile African-American athletes assembled at the Negro Industrial Economic Union in Cleveland for what became known as the "#ClevelandSummit" or the "Muhammad Ali Summit."
The participants expressed support for Ali's decision not to serve in the Vietnam War.
#KnowledgeBit: #Geothermal #Energy is the thermal energy in the Earth's crust which originates from the formation of the planet and from radioactive decay of materials in currently uncertain but possibly roughly equal proportions.
Geothermal power covers a significant share of electricity demand in countries like Iceland, El Salvador, New Zealand, Kenya, and Philippines and more than 90% of heating demand in Iceland.

#KnowledgeBit: Leonhard #Euler is widely considered to be the most prolific mathematician; his 866 publications as well as his correspondences are being collected in the Opera Omnia Leonhard Euler which, when completed, will consist of 81 quarto volumes.
Carl Friedrich Gauss said that studying his work is still the best way to learn mathematics. Much of Euler's work was produced in the last 20 years of his life, when he was blind.
#KnowledgeBit: Sodium batteries are a rechargeable battery technology utilizing sodium ions as charge carriers, offering a potentially cheaper and more sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to the abundance of sodium resources.

#KnowledgeBit: #Wind power or wind #Energy is mostly the use of wind turbines to generate electricity.
Wind energy works around the clock. Unlike solar energy, which can only generate electricity when the sun is shining, wind power can be generated at any time of day or night.

#KnowledgeBit: #Kaizen (Japanese: "improvement") is a concept that favors small, continual improvements over large, sweeping overhauls.
The philosophy is that small changes, applied consistently over time, can yield extraordinary results in quality and efficiency.

#KnowledgeBit: #Jali is a type of #Architecture that uses perforated stone or latticed screens with ornamental patterns to balance open windows and tall walls. Jalis are commonly found in Islamic and East Asian architecture, and are often used in Hindu temple architecture and Indo-Islamic architecture.
In the 21st century, it has gained popularity again as a low-energy building solution for the environmental footprint of energy use by buildings.
#KnowledgeBit: #Quantum #Materials are materials whose properties cannot be fully described by classical physics alone, but require the principles of quantum mechanics to understand their behavior.

#KnowledgeBit: Carbon sequestration is an important process that helps to mitigate the effects of climate change by locking carbon in the soil.
Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) is one of the sustainable solutions that have been proposed to achieve carbon sequestration.

#KnowledgeBit: The #Grandfather #Paradox states that if one were to travel back in time and kill their grandfather before their parent's conception, they would cease to exist, thus preventing their own time travel.
It highlights the logical inconsistencies that arise from the possibility of altering the past, creating a paradox where the action both occurs and cannot occur.
#KnowledgeBit: In November 1572, Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe was among those who noticed a new bright object in the constellation #Cassiopeia who thought it to be a new Star.
Astronomers now know that Tycho's new star was not new at all. Rather it signaled the death of a star in a supernova. It is now named after Tycho as "The Tycho Supernova".

#KnowledgeBit: #Protein #Engineering is a dynamic field within biotechnology that focuses on modifying protein structures to achieve desired functions.
It involves altering the amino acid sequences of proteins, which in turn changes their three-dimensional structures and functional properties.

#KnowledgeBit: Why are the kernels in corncobs different colours?
The explanation lies in how different genes are expressed. Barbara McClintock studied genetics and "jumping #Genes" (Transposable element). She showed that parts of the corn's genetic code can shift from one place to another within its chromosomes.
This discovery earned her a #NobelPrize in 1983.
#KnowledgeBit: Ring galaxies are galaxies with a distinctive, circular, ring-like appearance, often formed from the impact of a smaller galaxy passing through the center of a larger one.
This collision creates a wave of star formation that expands outward, resulting in the bright, visible ring structure.

#KnowledgeBit: A #Langford pairing is a sequence of numbers 1 through n, each appearing twice, where the two occurrences of each number are separated by a distance equal to that number.
Finding these pairings is a combinatorial puzzle with applications in areas like error correction and cryptography.
