Container shipping is a big deal. It’s been an amazing success story in global trade and pivotal to making shipping cheaper and cheaper. It’s not too much to say that it’s been a big part of bringing people around the world out of poverty. But unsurprisingly, moving those metal box...

The aviation industry, a vital contributor to global transportation, is at a crossroads. With approximately 1,300 daily takeoffs and landings at Heathrow Airport alone, meeting the industry’s colossal demand for jet fuel — around 20 million litres daily — has become an intricate lo...

The Universe as we know it, at present, mostly adds up, but not in any sort of intuitive way. The 20th century brought with it the realization that the majority of what we know and experience in this physical Universe — atoms, light, and the known subatomic particles along with everything they...

Hydrogen — Applications  Fuel: Can be burned cleanly to produce energy, a potential future fuel source.  Fuel cells: Efficiently convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity.  Hydrogenation: Used in food processing and other industrial applications. &n...

The best thing in a quantum mechanics course is solving for the wave function of a hydrogen atom. It’s great because it’s possible to get an analytical solution to this problem in terms of some functions. For all the other atoms, we have to cheat or make some approximations. Historically...
