A Physics genius and his mysterious disappearance ✍️ Ettore Majorana, a brilliant Italian theoretical physicist, made remarkable contributions to quantum mechanics and nuclear physics in the early 20th century. He is best known for his discovery of Majorana fermions, unique particles that are their own antiparticles, and his work on nuclear forces. Despite his significant impact on the field, Majorana's life is shrouded in mystery due to his sudden disappearance in 1938 during a boat trip, with theories ranging from suicide to espionage. Today, his legacy continues to influence modern physics, and his enigmatic story adds a layer of intrigue to his accomplishments.

Formation of conic sections ✍️ Circle: When the cutting plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone, the cross-section is a circle. Ellipse: When the plane is angled, but still cuts through only one cone (without being parallel to the side of the cone), the result is an ellipse. Parabola: If the plane is parallel to the side (slant) of the cone, it creates a parabola. Hyperbola: If the plane cuts both halves of the double cone, it forms a hyperbola - two separate curves.

Happy Birthday to the physicist Enrico Fermi ! ✍️ Born in 29 September 1901, Fermi has crucial contribution in revolutionizing our understanding from quantum mechanics to nuclear energy. Enrico Fermi is best known for creating the first nuclear reactor, leading to the development of nuclear energy and weapons. He also developed Fermi-Dirac statistics, crucial for understanding fermions, and made significant contributions to quantum theory, beta decay, and particle physics.
