Simple to Complex





ST has not been focusing on any specific area. It covered many many areas of Science and Technology.
From poor man's "daily science" to the researcher's "hot, sophisticated and complex" subjects. 
Please see the clips.
The article on electric lighter explains how and what of it very well.
Energy has always been a hot topic in ST. Hydel power has been very well addressed.

Energy- thoughts on



Energy is a topic of serious concern for the humankind. When are we drying up the energy sources?  ST says the sources are plenty and endless. Its upto the Scientists and Technologists to identify and find ways of tapping them for use.
Please see two snippets from ST.

Problem solver. Are you ?





ST is very interesting to everyone. Why ?

It had articles of interest to everyone. See the pictures above. It gives a self -assessment questionnaire as to whether you are a problem solver or not ?
Try yourself.
