Description

Nanoscience is the emerging science of objects that are intermediate in size between the largest molecules and the smallest structures that can be fabricated by current photolithography; that is, the science of objects with smallest dimensions ranging from a few nanometers to less than 100 nanometers.[1–3] In chemistry, this range of sizes has historically been associated with colloids, micelles, polymer molecules, phase-separated regions in block copolymers, and similar structures—typically, very large molecules, or aggregates of many molecules. More recently, structures such as buckytubes, silicon nanorods, and compound semi conductor quantum dots have emerged as particularly interesting classes of nanostructures. In physics and electrical engineering, nanoscience is most often associated with quantum behavior, and the behavior of electrons and photons in nanoscale structures. Biology and biochemistry also have a deep interest in nanostructures as components of the cell; many of the most interesting structures in biology—from DNA and viruses to subcellular organelles and gap junctions—can be considered as nanostructures.

EPSC122: DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY Trending!
Development refers to qualitative changes in behavioural characteristics of the individual leading towards maturity. Development can be inferred from the differentiation and emerging capabilities (functioning) of the individual e.g. cognitive, social, and moral, personality and motor abilities.

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM The endocrine system is a network of glands in your body that make the hormones that help cells talk to each other. They’re responsible for almost every cell, organ, and function in your body. If your endocrine system isn't healthy, you might have problems developing during puberty, getting pregnant, or managing stress. You also might gain weight easily, have weak bones, or lack energy because too much sugar stays in your blood instead of moving into your cells where it's needed for energy

HPE 131: NETBALL Trending!
In 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts a 30-year-old Canadian immigrant to the USA, James Naismith, was ordered to invent an indoor game for high-spirited young men at the School for Christian Workers (later the YMCA). Most games tried ended with injury rates of staggering proportions! So Naismith conjured up a game whereby a ball had to be lobbed into a high peach basket (his reasoning being that if a ball had to dropped into the "goal", it couldn't be thrown at breakneck speed).

UCU110: FUNDAMENTALS OF COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION Trending!
The major goal of any communicative action is to promote understanding. In the academic setting and in the professions, deeper understanding and insight are necessary. Collaboratingwith others in learning and at work ensures that quality ideas are shared for more effective task completion and problem solving. Therefore, the importance of communication and collaboration for learning and for assisting students prepare for their future careers cannot be overemphasized. These two competencies form part of the 4Cs (communication, collaboration, critical and creative thinking) that have been singled out as the core attributes for success in the 21st century.

EPS110: PSYCHOLOGY. Trending!
Psychological research uses scientific methods to provide enlightening and reliable information about behavior. Science is derived from the Latin word “scire” i.e. to know. Science avoids mere opinions, intuitions and guesses and strives to know by using objective evidence. Science uses logic to reason about the possible causes of a phenomenon and then tests the resulting ideas psychology relies on empirical evidence i.e. information gained from direct observation.The information is collected systematically through carefully designed experiments; various assumptions can be validated or refuted
