:(. What a lovely ride it was. Been my SMS default app since probably over a decade.

A very successful project originating out of Microsoft Garage. Built by a team from MSFT India Dev Center out of Hyderabad.

New Quanta article looks at one of the coolest tiny machines in biology - the bacterial flagellar motor. It’s basically a microscopic spinning engine that bacteria use to move.

After decades of trying to fully understand it, scientists are finally figuring out how it actually works. The motor is powered by a flow of charged particles (kind of like a tiny battery), which creates force and makes it rotate.

So what looks like something alive and mysterious is really just an incredibly advanced microscopic machine running on the same basic rules as everything else.

More broadly, the article addresses the idea of a "life force." It argues that no special force is needed to explain life. Instead, biological activity arises from physical processes that operate far from equilibrium, where constant energy flow keeps the system active and organized.

The flagellar motor shows that living systems can be understood as energy driven, self organizing systems. What appears to be uniquely "alive" can be explained by standard physical laws, such as thermodynamics and molecular interactions.

Physics pushed to an extreme level of complexity.

A teacher in China and their students built a two-stage rocket out of plastic bottles and water pressure. It actually works.

@saurabh_kochar @Akshat_World Doesn't Arbi still need to import gold to the tune of SGB sales to track the gold prices ?

Good going @Vinodkdv
Glad to see u making an impact right after joining @Prasar_Dubai
Kudos!

@anshu13 Beautiful indeed!

Here is the mystery at the core of quantum physics: How does the wavy, probabilistic haze inherent in the mathematical description of quantum mechanics transform into the single definite reality of experience?
