Hey explorers! This is the 11th edition of the Qurious
Atom. This time, we're embarking on a Science
Safari, packed with exciting discoveries and mindblowing
facts. The Qurious Atom unveils the magical

I had a lot of fun during my summer vacations this
year. I went to Jibhi, Himachal Pradesh; had an
amazing time travel adventure at CurioCamp; and
even met great Sudha Murty. But the best part
was spending time with family.

Hey lil’ scientists, this is the editor-in-chief! This issue is all about Science and Peace. It can be a bit boring, but not when you read all the interesting stories, science experiments and fun infographics.

In this edition of TQA, we explore how science can play a pivotal role in promoting peace—whether it’s through the safe use of nuclear energy, the fascinating world of symbiosis, or the healing powers of sound therapy.

 It's exciting to think about how innovation can help us solve the world's challenges, especially when science is put to work for peaceful purposes. On a more personal note, I find that exploring nature, understanding animal behavior, and learning about wildlife always sparks a sense of peace and awe. This is why I encourage all young minds to visit their local zoos—these places not only support wildlife conservation but also help us connect with the animals we share our planet with.

In this issue we talk about Seasonal science and its influence on Agriculture, Aquatic Life, Animal World and on Us Humans.
We delve deep to gain understanding through puzzles and games.

This edition explores devices used by the specially-abled, the science behind disabilities, a science quiz, multiple stories and much more. But I assure you this magazine is full of hard work. Hey! If you’re a specially-abled kid, this is the magazine for you.

Take a look at page 4 and 5. They are my favourite pages. Though it took much effort to complete this edition, I enjoyed making it, learnt something new myself and added a few
extra pages for you.

space, befriending animals and understanding
machines.
