Applications Of Josephson Effect The Josephson effect is a really cool phenomenon that happens in something called a superconductor.  You’ve probably heard of the word “superconductor” in your physics class. Well, If you have not heard about this term there’s no need to worry because it has been explained in this article. So, what exactly is this “superconductor”? A superconductor is a material that can conduct electricity with no resistance, i.e. electricity can flow through this material without losing any energy.  When electricity flows through a superconductor, it creates a magne ..read more

General Theory of Relativity General relativity is a physics theory that explains how gravity works! This theory was created by a scientist named Albert Einstein, who is one of the world’s most famous scientists in history. He came up with this theory in the early 1900s, and since then, it has been used to explain many things about our universe. One of the most important things that general relativity explains is how massive objects like planets and stars bend and warp the space around them.  To understand this, it is helpful to think of space as a fabric, and massive objects as weights ..read more

Unlocking the Significance of Oxidative Phosphorylation: How Your Body Turns Food into Energy Have you ever wondered how your body turns the food you eat into energy for you to be able to carry out different tasks? Maybe you have, or maybe you’ve not, but no need to panic because we’ve got you covered… Now, I want you to imagine that there is a giant machine inside your body that helps your it process your food and turn it into the energy you need. This process whereby your body turns the food you eat into energy  is called oxidative phosphorylation, and it is an important process th ..read more

Pascal’s Law and it’s Applications in Science and Engineering Have you ever wondered how a hydraulic lift works? Or how a syringe can inject medicine into your body with such precision? The answer to both of these questions lies in a physics concept called Pascal’s Law.  In this blog post, we will explore what Pascal’s Law is, how it works, and some of its real-world applications. What is Pascal’s Law? Pascal’s Law is a law in physics that states that.. “when pressure is applied to a fluid in a closed container, that pressure is transmitted equally in all directions.”  This mean ..read more

Endocytosis and It’s Significance in Homeostasis Have you ever wondered how your body absorbs the food you eat and gets rid of waste? Well, it’s all thanks to a process called endocytosis, a process generally referee to as homeostasis. Homeostasis simply means the maintenance of internal environment.  In this blog post, we will explore what endocytosis is, different types of endocytosis, and why it is essential for maintaining a healthy body. So, what is endocytosis? Endocytosis is the process of taking in molecules, particles, and other materials from the environment into the cell ..read more

Cryobiology, Cryonics and their Applications in Biotech What is Cryobiology? What is Cryonics? Cryobiology is the study of the effects of low temperatures on living organisms i.e it is the study of how cold temperatures affect living things.  For example, if you put a frog in the freezer, a cryobiologist would study how the cold temperatures affect the frog’s body and how it is able to survive or not. They might also study how to freeze cells or tissues for medical purposes, like preserving organs for transplants. Cryobiology is a fascinating field that has a wide range of applications, f ..read more

Factors Affecting Allopatric Speciation What is Allopatric Speciation? Allopatric speciation is a fascinating process that occurs in many different organisms, and leads to the formation of new species i.e it is when a group of organisms becomes separated from their main population and over time, they develop differences that make them different from their previous species.  Just think of it like a big family getting split up into smaller groups, and over time, each group starts to look and act a little differently. For example, imagine a group of birds that all live on one big island and ..read more

Convergent Evolution in Fishes, Birds & Mammals What is convergent evolution? Convergent evolution is an amazing phenomenon in the world of biology that occurs when two or more animals from different parts of the world evolve to look similar, even though originally, they are not related. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at some examples of convergent evolution in birds, fish, and mammals, and explore why this happens. Examples of convergent evolution First, let’s start with birds.  Have you ever seen a bird in one part of the world that looks very similar to a bird in anot ..read more

The Calvin Cycle: How It Works And It’s Impact On The Environment Welcome to gulpmatrix.com! Today, we’re going to learn about something that is very important for all living things on Earth. First, let’s talk about what the Calvin cycle is. What exactly is the Calvin Cycle? Well, the calvin cycle unlike other biological cycles is defined as a series of chemical reactions that plants use to turn carbon dioxide and water into food. This process can also be called photosynthesis, and it is  what helps plants grow and produce the oxygen we need to breathe. Note: It is worth noting that the C ..read more
