What is Protein Expression and How Does It Work

Protein expression is the process by which a protein is produced from a DNA sequence and its corresponding genes. Proteins are vital to all living things as they perform most of the body’s functions, such as providing structure, carrying out chemical reactions, or transporting molecules. Protein expression involves transcription into […]

3d Printing: What You Need To Know

3d printing is the process whereby three dimensional solid objects are made from a digital file. 3d printing does not use subtractive manufacturing, which involves cutting out sections of an item until it is fully made. Instead, in 3d creation, the additive process is used; hence, successive layers one after […]

5 Reasons to Upgrade Your Fluorescent Lamps to LED

The fluorescent fixture is one of the traditional lighting options with multiple applications in warehouses, commercial spaces, outdoor and general room lighting. These days, however, out of more advanced lighting fixtures, fluorescent lamps seem to have some disadvantages. For instance, low-temperature sensitivity, relatively high in price, even higher energy consumption, […]

Why Do HID Bulbs Last Longer Than Halogen Bulbs?

HID bulbs are quickly replacing Halogen bulbs as the preferred form of lighting used on motor vehicles. These bulbs consume less energy, produce brighter light and last longer than their halogen counterparts. Since the most notable advantage of HID bulbs is their extended lifespan, let’s take a deeper look at […]
