Andrew Jia In the modern world, vacuum tubes see use in a very limited range of applications and may be regarded as obsolete technology. However, they have played an important role in computing history. The first vacuum tube device was conceived in 1904 by John Fleming and took the form
F1 is more than just a race - it’s a showcase of engineering brilliance. With turbocharged V6s, energy recovery systems, and state-of-the-art aerodynamics, teams battle for every fraction of a second. Explore the tech behind the world's fastest sport and how it fuels innovation beyond the track.
Einstein's Field Equations are among the most famous equations in all of physics, and yet what do they describe, and how do they work?
Discover how a group of researchers in Sweden are pioneering the world's first bionic limb that can sense touch
The End of British Science Week A Note From AZB British Science Week: Celebrating Discovery, Innovation, and Future Scientists Every year, British Science Week (this year running from 7th – 16th March… yes, slightly longer than a week…) brings together schools, communities, and scientists across the UK to celebrate the incredible
Can carbon capture save the planet, or is it just another costly distraction? Methods like post-combustion capture and direct air capture aim to reduce atmospheric CO2 levels. However, concerns about cost, energy use, and effectiveness raise questions about its role in fighting climate change.

You're receiving this email because you are affiliated with Eton College. (Best viewed on the website) Welcome to Day 2 of British Science Week, and today's main focus is biology. We will observe how biology shapes the world around us, and what crazy things scientists are
Take a brief dive into the microbial populations within our bodies several orders of magnitude larger than that of humans on Earth, and the critical functions these microbes play in our health
No pump? No problem. Wilson’s Airless Gen1 Basketball ditches traditional basketball design for an airless lattice that somehow still bounces. No punctures, no pressure loss, just a $2,500 price tag and a weirdly quiet bounce. Will it replace traditional basketballs? Read more to find out.

Have you ever wondered how your brain really functions—your thoughts, your memories and how we, humble humans, can achieve the feats we do? Well, wonder no longer, as this article will unveil how memories and emotions are created through phenomena such as active potentials and more
Chemistry
Hydrogen powered cars present a sustainable transport alternative to electric cars. However, there are many questions to be answered: are they more environmentally friendly? Are they economically viable?
Introduction: The human anatomy is composed of a complex system of bones, nerves, organs, and muscles that allow us to function without much thought as to the mechanisms behind these different components of our body. Anatomy (the composition of the human body and the functions its components have) is a
Mathematics
Imagine being told that the same useless numbers which you consistently label as redundant in the real world are in fact key to keeping your data safe from prying eyes. Every time someone sends a message, numbers keep your information safe and hidden so only the receiver can see it.
Mathematics
The Rubik’s Cube is far more than a colourful toy—it is a mathematical marvel that embodies the beauty of symmetry, structure, and problem-solving.
Physics
Radioactive waste, production of nuclear weapons, the rarity of nuclear fuel. Thorium reactors promise to solve all these problems, and yet why have we not heard of them and how do they work?
Engineering
Imagine cooling your food with nothing more than a rubber band. It sounds like science fiction, but the elastocaloric effect can potentially revolutionise refrigeration.
Mathematics
The natural world is filled with complex and unpredictable phenomena, from weather patterns to the dynamics of ecosystems and the stock market. At first glance, these systems may seem entirely random, yet there are often underlying deterministic laws governed by mathematics.
