The ozone layer is the protective cover of air in the stratosphere or the blanket that protects the organisms living on the planet. Let us learn more about this protective cover and the ozone layer depletion.  What is the ozone layer? The ozone layer is the result of some chemical reactions in the atmosphere initiated […]

Introduction Optical communication is a type of communication in which signals are carried to the remote end through light, instead of electric current. It mainly relies on optical fibres to carry those signals to their destination. The components of optical communication include a transmitter/receiver, modulator/demodulator, transparent channel and a light signal.  They can be classified

With an ultrafast laser-based technology that scientists have devised for fabricating surfaces without the need of coatings or further surface treatment, eco-friendly self-cleaning surfaces that can safeguard biomedical and other applications from rusting and bacterial development may soon be a reality. Super-hydrophobic functional surfaces Surfaces with anti-wetting and anti-staining capabilities have piqued the interest of

Benjamin List and David MacMillan have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2021 for their work in asymmetric organocatalysis. Asymmetric synthesis aims to make just one mirror-image form of a given molecule, vital in developing medicines and new technological materials. According to the development of organocatalysis, small chiral organic molecules may act as catalysts

Nirbhay which means fearless, is an extensive range, every climate, subsonic voyage rocket planned and established in-country India by the (ADE) which stands for Aerospace Development Establishment that controlled by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The projectile can be flung from several podiums and is talented to carry conservative and nuclear missiles. It is presently installed in restricted statistics inside the (LAC)

Quantum technology relies on quantum mechanics laws, which emerged in the twentieth century to describe nature on the size of atoms and elementary particles. Quantum computers can imitate numerous classical computers functioning in parallel, utilising quantum superposition, a set of unbreakable codes, or super-fast information processing. Quantum technology can be seen in applications such as

The National Knowledge Network (NKN) project aims to build a strong and resilient Indian network capable of providing secure and dependable connectivity. Frontier Research and innovation shift toward a multidisciplinary and collaborative paradigm, requiring effective communication and computational power. To address such paradigm shifts in India, NKN, with its multi-gigabit capacity, plans to interface all

NITI Aayog was established on 1st Jan 2015. The headquarters of NITI Aayog is in New Delhi and was established by the Indian government. Before NITI Aayog, there was a Planning Commission formed on 15 March 1950. The Planning Commission was non-constitutional. This commission had two major functions: first, to formulate five-year plans, and second,

The Artemis Accords is a formal agreement among different nations that ensures that any research activity conducted in outer space shall benefit the entire human race and not harm the interests of other countries. As of 28th March 2022, eighteen nations have enrolled their names as Artemis Accords members. This bilateral mutual commitment legislation has been put

The origins and evolution of hydrogen-deficient stars are still a mystery. Their chemical characteristics, along with a lack of hydrogen, set them apart from the others. Severe fluorine enrichment in the range of 800–8000 is one of the distinguishing characteristics of a class of hydrogen-deficient stars, primarily the RCBs (R Coronae Borealis stars) and cool
