One sector that has registered phenomenal growth numbers during the pandemic-hit 2020 is edtech. A number of edtech platforms were either launched or gained popularity during this period, as remote learning became a new normal due to closure of schools and colleges. One of such apps that made its presence felt emphatically during this period is Aristotle, which is India’s first social learning app developed by edtech pioneer Digital Aristotle.

The app caters to students studying from class 6 to 12 and provides assistants in subjects such as Mathematics and Science. The app covers both CBSE and ICSE curriculum for the aforementioned classes.

Downloading the app

The mobile app is currently available on Google Play. With a user rating of 4.2, the app has already registered more than 50,000 downloads. The size of the app is just 12 MB and hence, it does not hamper the functionality of your mobile phone.

Getting started

Once you download the app, you are required to sign up by entering your mobile number. After the mobile number is entered, the app shares an OTP with which one can log in with ease. Following this, you need to enter a few basic details such as name of student and class in which the ward is studying. You also need to choose whether the student needs services for CBSE or ICSE curriculum. After filling these details, the students need to enter additional details such as name of the school they are studying in and the district and state where the institution is located.

How it works

The app caters to the various needs of students with regard to completing their learning cycles. Unlike other similar apps, it provides services that do not replace but aid the classroom learning of an individual. Special impetus has been given on conducting revisions and a dedicated section is there on the app for the purpose. On a day-to-day basis, different topics from either Science or Mathematics are featured in the section. For instance, if the featured topic is Food and Nutrients, then students are redirected to a multiple choice quiz wherein questions such as ‘Roughage is usable for our body because’ are asked. If students answer it correctly, they are redirected to the next question and if they fail to do so, they are given a detailed answer to understand the concepts. Apart from this, there is a lot of focus on imparting knowledge through gamification techniques. For example, a student can take different topic-based challenges wherein they can compete with peers or a bot. There is a forum as well to ensure instant doubt clarification wherein students can post their queries that would be answered by subject matter experts.

Conclusion

The app is a perfect solution for students who look for additional tools to enhance their subject-based knowledge. The app is quite interactive and makes the process of learning fun. The subjects – Science and Mathematics – are covered by the app in a comprehensive manner.

Wonder Material ‘Graphene’ Will Transform Your Mobile Experience

Graphene, the wonder material is considered the world’s thinnest as well as the strongest material. It is one million times thinner than a hair strand, in fact owing to the same, it is considered two-dimensional. Graphene is also believed to be the best conductor of heat and electricity. One-atom thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure make graphene, and due to its various attributes, the material finds utility in a wide range of industries including cellular. The material is appropriate for many uses in our day to day lives which are incomplete without a smartphone. Let’s have a look at some of them.

To prevent heating in smartphones: One issue that most smartphone users face is excessive heating of the phone when in use for extended hours. The usage might vary from being on calls to using apps to learning to gaming. The heating of the phone might be caused by faulty hardware or software glitches and the parts that get the heated most are the CPU and screen. Now if graphene, which is an excellent conductor of heat, is used on the upper layer of the CPU, it will resultantly be distributed across all components of the phone, preventing one specific part from getting more heated.

Thinner touch screens: Graphene can be used to develop resistive touch screens, which are extremely thin as well as unbreakable. Such screens would add to the virtues of smartphones, tablets as well as laptops. According to a finding by the American Chemical Society, if these screens are used on thin plastic rather than glass, they would be more lightweight and compact. In South Korea, the first touch screen panel based on graphene has already been developed.

Extending battery life: Increased electrode density, faster cycle times and enhanced lifespan are some of the most significant benefits of a graphene battery. A lot many tech-powered innovations are currently underway with regard to batteries made out of graphene. As a matter of fact, the first set of such batteries have already been introduced in the US earlier last year. While a normal battery lasts around 600 charge cycles, a graphene battery can last over 1,500 charge cycles. Even as the regular batteries take 90 minutes on average for a full charge, graphene batteries take just around 20 minutes.

“Graphene has proved to be a game-changer in the research and development of nanomaterials. Its dynamic nature and wide properties give unprecedented advantages to all industries from textile to those manufacturing airplanes to those developing medical sensors. In fact, several companies from across the world have conducted research of graphene-based products that would aid in the fight against Covid-19,” says Vikas Bardiya, who is the founder of Nanomatrix Materials, one of the few Indian companies that deal in manufacturing and integration of the wonder material into different applications.

Indeed, the benefits and scope of graphene as a material are endless. Now it is up to the researchers and developers to dwell into the various aspects of the wonder material and ensure that mankind gets the maximum benefit of graphene.
