The column Zebra Crossing was concieved as a shortcut across the information highway — at a time when dial-up was the only internet option, even for privileged users in first-tier firms. Right now, a host of ResearchGate (RG) scholars contend that the column holds an encyclopedic scope — a finding substantiated by AI briefs.
This site goes on happening as you cross the highway.
THIS IS WHERE WE CONNECT WITH RESEARCHERS WORLDWIDE
TEAM ZC includes students, academicians, coders, designers and journalists.
“This project is as eye-boggling as it is mind-boggling.”
Horses have both binocular vision and monocular vision. Binocular vision is used when their eyes and ears are focused on something in front of them. And monocular vision is used when they use each eye separately to watch movements —…
Sentience (“qualia”) is the ability to have subjective perceptual experiences. Scholars differentiate it from qualities such as creativity, intelligence and self-awareness. If you get acquainted with a retired game warden in Africa, he is likely to tell you incredible stories…
In a thought experiment of historian Yuval Noah Harari, a hypothetical government insists that every citizen should wear a biometric bracelet. This device monitors body temperature and heart-rate, 24 hours a day. The big data hoarded this way is analysed…
If you unearth an artefact with the same shape and used for the same purpose in two or more differentregions, it could be the bespoke result of cultural diffusion — but not necessarily. Archaeologist Sue O’Connor studied five fish hooks…
The human immune system has always been evolving and it is still evolving, but lifespan continues to increase with each generation. In addition, lifestyles and ecologic natures can really differ and influence immune responses. A malaria parasite has infected Africans…
Some dreadful memories can re-emerge out of the blue — like Michael Myers in every ‘Halloween’ movie. Exposure therapy has a way with them. If spiders give you the creeps after you were bitten by one, you will be encouraged…
A fossil tooth could be a buffet of information for researchers at a dig. Teeth grow like trees in a sense. They add layer after layer of enamel and dentine tissues every day. And so they can help us reconstruct…
A condenser turns a substance from its gaseous state to its liquid state — by cooling it. Historically, condensers were always oriented vertically so as to allow water to drain by gravity. But then, about five years ago, Virginia Tech…
Imagine a place where the air temperature can drop to minus forty (-40)) Celsius and the winds can bolt atspeeds of 40 meters per second? Antarctic penguins live in a place that exactly fits the description. They routinely hop in…
This site is dedicated to the fond memory of June Maythil — a silent legacy that we cherish.
She was not at all with TEAM ZC. While we were fumbling with the initial coordination imperative of a site like this, she was braving sessions after foggy sessions of chemotherapy for advanced triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), with a frame of mind falteringly set to what she called “God Mode” — way far away from the neighborhood of our preoccupation. But, unknown to us until now, she had already left an unclaimed legacy behind her — way before we pitched in.
