This article does not review space debris in depth — you can find out more about space debris here. In low earth orbit and geosynchronous orbit are millions of pieces of metals and paint that we refer to as space debris. Thousands of these objects are trackable and therefore avoidable…

I’d recommend reading my article on neural networks to understand what convolutional neural networks are before reading this one. Breast cancer is one of the most fatal and common cancers in women, killing about 1 in every 39 women per year. However, early breast cancer detection can drastically increase the…

If you aren’t familiar with DRL, I would recommend reading this article before this one. It provides context on many concepts that were used in this model that I do not discuss here. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is a subset of machine learning that essentially combines neural networks with reinforcement…

I would recommend reading my article that covers DL at a surface level before reading this article. It provides context on ML, perceptrons, and the basic operation of ANNs. Machine learning (ML), which provides computers the ability to learn automatically and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed to do…

In the past few decades, research in stem cells has become extremely popular due to the potential stem cells hold in medical research and therapy. However, stem cells are difficult to obtain, and so far, difficult to scale. bit.bio, a cellular reprogramming startup, could have the potential to change that. An Introduction To Stem Cells …

Artificial intelligence (AI) is recognized as the future of not only technology, but humanity itself. It is the general consensus that within this century, AI will revolutionize the way humans live across nearly all industries. We define artificial intelligence as the following: The theory and development of computer systems able…

One of the many technologies being considered for future space flight programs are ion thrusters, which come from a subset of propulsion known as electric propulsion. They’re particularly popular for their high efficiency and long accelerating times. Unlike chemical propulsion systems, which only have enough fuel to launch the rocket…

One of the fundamental rules of calculus is the product rule, which is used in calculating the derivative of the product of two functions. For the general function f(x)=g(x)*h(x), it is denoted as the following: To help us visualize this concept, we need two functions. Let’s use sin(x) and x². …

For the past 12 days, I spent my time in Houston, Texas, at the Rice Aerospace and Aviation Academy. It’s a program aimed at high schoolers with a keen interest in aerospace, aviation, and engineering. Ironically, the program wasn’t actually located at Rice University due to COVID-19. Instead, it was…
