Not to long from now, our computers may become a hundred times faster thanks to something called graphene. Scientists are thinking about replacing today’s silicon chip in today’s electronics with graphene chip. What makes graphene so awesome? Graphene is a single layer of graphite. It is only one atom thin. This arrangement is what gives graphene awesome properties that scientists are now busy exploring.

Life on this planet is dependent on the availability of water. Scientists are always looking for evidence of water in other worlds because water is the solvent that drives life here on earth. Water exists naturally in solid, liquid and gaseous forms. It is the only substance on our planet that exists naturally in all three states of matter. A single water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms (H) and one oxygen atom (O). The hydrogen atoms each share a pair of election with the oxygen atom...

Biomolecules are the ingredients necessary for life. They are the building blocks of all living things on earth and are essential for their survival. Biomolecules function as essential energy sources, they provide the means to store energy, they contain instructions that living things need for healing, growth and reproduction. There are four main classes of biomolecules; Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins and Nucleic Acids.
