1. It Was Built As An Entrance For The 1889 World's Fair      In honor of the French Revolution's hundredth year anniversary, the city of Paris hosted the 1889 Exposition Universally, known in English as the 1889 World's Fair. Artists from all over the nation sent in their concepts for a structure, but the project fell into the hands of a construction firm owned by Gustave Eiffel, an architect and bridge-builder who also helped to design the Statue of Liberty. 2. The Size Of The Tower Changes With The Weather      When constructing the tower, Gustave Eiffel chose to use latticed wrought iron in order to prove that it could be just as strong as stone while also being lighter. The end result is a structure that is made up of approximately 7,300 tons of iron. Including its antenna, it is approximately 1,060 feet (320 meters) tall on an average day, but that's subject to change depending on the weather. The sun also causes it to expand and grow approximately 6 ...

   Sangam Period               The Sangam Period is Roughly time Period Between 3rd Century BCE and 3rd Century AD. While the Northern Part of India was Flourishing under the MAURYAN Empire, the Southern part of the subcontinent was equally Growing under the Rule of CHERA , PANDYA and CHOLA Empires during the Sangam Period. The Sangam Period has been named after the Sangam academies held during that period that flourished under the royal patronage of the Pandya kings of Madurai. These literary works are one of the earliest specimens of Tamil literature. Palm Leaf Tamil Manuscript of Sangam Era According to folklore and the Sangam Literature available there were three Sangams (Academy of Tamil poets) held in the ancient South India popularly called Muchchangam. The First Sangam, is believed to be held at Madurai, attended by gods and legendary sages. No literary work of this Sangam is available . The first Sangam has roots in the Hindu deity S...

  Welcome Readers, here we are with another mind-blowing blog for you. Material Science is the most evolving field in this era. In Today’s world sustainable development are the goal of every scientific research, manufacturer, government, and private companies. Supplementary materials which are required to achieve this goal are being invented day by day and we are going even closer to it. Aerospace Industry is such a field that demand the lightest and strongest metals for decades. Aluminum has fulfilled this demand to some extent, but not fully. MICROLATTICE is one such material, set to make a revolution in the industry. What is Micro-lattice? A lattice whose dimensions are close to the micrometer scale is called a micro-lattice. These are periodic cellular structures, where lattice formation occurs due to interconnected struts.

  Every step walked for justice, every voice raised against injustice will enhance the society with love and peace. ‘Injustice’ is not a new term for a woman whether its sati practices in past or the ongoing illegal activities in present. But the best part is that for any injustice on the field there has been always a voice standing against it, eye to eye, head to head challenging the injustice for a beautiful change! This voice became the voice of future and an inspiration for all. Some of these strong and bold voices are here to shake you up with their vibrations….   #Suffrage Movement: This movement specifically refers to the 72 year-long battle for women’s right to vote in United States.   “Social peace and the welfare of the human race depended upon woman’s staying home, having children and keeping out of politics”, words of some of the anti-suffragists.   Women were allowed to work in factory just like men – Economical contribution, Women had a st...

  INTRODUCTION Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for 1 profit. Central characteristics of capitalism include capital accumulation, competitive markets, a price system, private property and the recognition of property rights, voluntary exchange and wage labor. In a capitalist market economy, decision-making and investments are determined by owners of wealth, property, or production ability in capital and financial markets-whereas prices and the distribution of goods and services are mainly determined by competition in goods and services markets. Economists, historians, political economists and sociologists have adopted different perspectives in their analyses of capitalism and have recognized various forms of it in practice. These include laissez-faire or free market capitalism, state capitalism and welfare capitalism. Different forms of capitalism feature varying degrees of free markets, public ownership, ...

    When we think of futuristic technology, we think of flying cars, hoverboards and sometimes overlook on technology that is possible and scientists and researchers are working on that now, one of such technology is energy storing bricks. Red bricks are the oldest, cheapest, and the most familiar materials used in construction, and they rarely have another use than in construction. Also, our walls of bricks hold up a larger space which cannot be used in other purposes so to use that space more effectively, we can convert that wall into unit of electrical storage. This research was done from Washington University in St. Louis. Energy storing bricks for stationary PEDOT supercapacitors | Nature Communications D’Arcy and his colleagues, including Washington University graduate student  Hongmin  Wang, showed how to convert red bricks into a type of energy storage device called a  supercapacitor . Red fired brick has been found suitable for the same because it is po...

   Every country on Earth has a unique shape. Many countries are larger than a single time zone, so they stretch through multiple, although the majority fits inside of one. However, the number of times zones a country passes through is not only determined by its size but also its offshore territories and colonies that might be a part of different time zones.       France is a country that has the largest number of time zones. It spreads across 12 different time zones that range from UTC-10 to UTC+12. France has many national territories scattered all over the world, which is the main reason for this. French Polynesia in the Pacific Ocean is mostly to blame for this phenomenon. The United States of America also spreads through many time zones - 11, to be exact. This comes as no surprise since the country spreads across an entire continent. Still, only six of those eleven time zones are on the mainland. The country with the most time zones is France, these ...

  The period which began about 200 BC did not witness a large empire like that of the Mauryas, but it is notable for intimate and widespread contacts between Central Asia and India. In eastern India, the Central India and the Deccan the Mauryas were succeeded by a number of native rulers such as the Sungas, Kanvas and the Satavahans. In the North-western India they were succeeded by a number of ruling dynasties from Central Asia. A series starts with the Greek. The first to invade India were the Greeks who are called the Indo-Greek, about which we already read in our previous blog. The Greeks were followed by the Sakas and the Parthians.  The Saka dynasty was a group of nomadic Iranian people. They inhabited the Northern and Eastern European regions. Parthians Empire was also known as Arsacid Empire. It was a major Iranian political power in ancient Iran .  The Parthians were followed by the Kushans who are also called as Yuechis or Tocharians. The Kushans were most proba...
