Hingson and the pistol of peace

It isn’t often that the words ‘gun’ and ‘peace’ come in the same sentence. Robert Andrew Hingson made it possible by inventing a high-speed jet injector, a gun-like gadget that could deliver a precise dosage of medication. A.S.Ganesh takes a look at Hingson and his invention...

Take a look at some of the architects behind the Constitution that have made this nation what it is today.

In the line...

Mini couldn’t get enough of her uncle’s stories. “He is a brave soldier,” she thought. And, then, her belief was confirmed.

HomecomingSettling in

After the initial problems of adjusting to a world of change, Akash and Dharti were finally more enthusiastic about life on the farm.

And it backfired...

I had a great plan to throw everyone off guard. However, what I did not account for was that I was not the only smart one around.

Dewar and his special flask

A Scottish chemist and physicist, James Dewar’s work proved seminal to the then nascent field of cryogenics. Apart from producing solid air and liquefied hydrogen, he is best known for designing a double-walled vacuum flask that bears his name. A.S.Ganesh talks about the man and his contributions to science...

Homecoming: Truth is out

A visit to Daksh uncle’s house proves disastrous when Akash realises that things are not as they seem.

All For a Game

Karim loved to bat. He wanted a place in the team and was willing to do anything to get in. Even if it meant going to the witch’s garden?

All-seeing Argus

He had 100 eyes, yet, he was no match for Hermes’ quick wit.

Not fair!

My suffering seems to be never-ending — tuitions on Sunday evenings during peak playground time! Who does that?

A Martian rover’s ‘Spirit’ed effort

On January 4, 2004, NASA’s Spirit rover landed on Mars as part of the Mars Exploration Program. It operated for the next six years, two months and 19 days, which was more than 25 times its originally intended lifetime. A.S.Ganesh takes a look at how Spirit reached Mars and some of its experiences there...
