Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming nearly every scientific domain, and genomics—the study of genes and genomes—is no exception. AI-driven genomics refers to the integration of advanced machine learning and AI algorithms with genomic science to decode, analyze, and interpret the vast and complex data embedded in DNA. This fusion is revolutionizing healthcare, personalized…
Introduction Synthetic biology is a rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field that fuses biology, engineering, genetics, chemistry, and computer science to design and construct new biological parts, systems, and organisms. Unlike traditional genetic engineering, which modifies existing biological systems, synthetic biology aims to build entirely new systems from the ground up or redesign existing ones to perform…
Introduction The field of genetic engineering has witnessed a revolutionary leap with the advent of CRISPR-Cas9 technology. Known popularly as CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), this tool allows scientists to edit genes with remarkable precision, efficiency, and affordability. From treating genetic diseases to engineering crops and combating pandemics, CRISPR is reshaping the landscape…
Introduction Fusion energy is one of the most promising frontiers in the quest for clean, limitless, and sustainable power. Often described as the “holy grail” of energy generation, fusion mimics the same process that powers the sun and other stars. If successfully harnessed on Earth, fusion could provide humanity with a virtually inexhaustible source of…
Solid-state batteries (SSBs) are emerging as a groundbreaking innovation in the realm of energy storage. As the demand for safer, more efficient, and higher-capacity batteries grows, especially in electric vehicles (EVs), consumer electronics, and renewable energy systems, solid-state technology is gaining widespread attention. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries that use liquid electrolytes, solid-state batteries use solid…
Introduction Solar energy has emerged as a cornerstone of the global shift towards sustainable energy. At the heart of this transformation lie solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, which convert sunlight into electricity. However, one of the key limitations has been their conversion efficiency — the percentage of sunlight they convert into usable electricity. Over the past…
