Origami is Being Used in the Space Technology

Almost all of us made this paper boat at some point in our life and played with this.

Some of you might have pushed your limit and made this far also.

Now, do you know what this art is called? It is called Origami- the art of folding paper and making some object/structure out of it.

Most of us knew this. Most of us also believe that these all are for fun only.

But will you believe that NASA scientists also apply the origami technique in launching rockets or satellites in the sky?

Allow me to explain.

Scientists try to make rocket hardware as small and concise as possible. They try to pack as much technology as possible into smaller space-bound packages.

Example: An well discussed such hardware is Starshade. Starshade is a giant flower-like design that will help astronauts or scientists to take pictures of different exoplanets. Taking a direct photo of exoplanets is difficult because of the brighter lights of suns and other stars.

Starshade is being designed to cover the bright lights so that the best photos of the celestial objects can be taken in space. You can see below.

Now the challenge was to launch that giant-sized flower through a rocket. So, scientists took the help of origami art to turn impossible into possibilities. And this is illustrated like this:

Now, you understand how your childhood-made-paper-boat-making technique is related to space-related rockets and satellites.

Android Dark Mode | Try It Today

Have you ever picked up your phone in a dark environment and felt the painful burst of white light in your eyes? Thankfully, Android has decided to remove our pain by offering a dark mode in the newest Android version, i.e., Android Q. People have grown more conscious about the harm caused by staring at screens and the potential disruption of sleep caused by blue light. While some smartphone manufacturers have provided different versions of night mode, a true dark mode was missing on Android devices. The dark theme added by Google in Android pie only changed the background notification shade and app drawer. It did not affect the settings or any apps. In Android Q, we are about to receive a true system-wide dark mode.

To turn on dark mode:
Go to Settings >> Display >>Theme and select Dark.

It changes the backgrounds of all the settings menus and apps like Phone, Contacts, and Photos. It is expected that other apps will work towards compatibility with dark mode.

Google has also included a “Force Dark” option for developers, which automatically converts light backgrounds to darker tones.

Another advantage of the dark mode is that it will reduce battery consumption, particularly in OLED screens, as said in a session at Google I/O.
