Hydrogen Valley Innovation Clusters: The Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology announced that four Hydrogen Valley Innovation Clusters (HVICs) are being developed across the country. Hydrogen Valley Innovation Clusters are being developed across the country to demonstrate the full green hydrogen value chain — from production and storage to transport and […]

DRISHTI System: The Indian Railways is planning to install a new AI-based Locking Monitoring System called – ‘DRISHTI’ It is an AI-Based Freight Wagon Locking Monitoring System. The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) joined hands with the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Technology Innovation and Development Foundation (IITG TIDF) to develop the system. The DRISHTI system […]

Motor Neuron Disease: Scientists recently developed a breakthrough therapy that clears toxic proteins from nerve cells—a discovery that could transform the treatment of motor neuron disease (MND). It is a rare condition that progressively damages parts of the nervous system. This leads to muscle weakness, often with visible wasting. MND is also called amyotrophic lateral […]

Vitamin D : New Study Personalized vitamin D dosing, guided by regular blood monitoring, significantly reduced recurrent heart attacks by 52% in a recent trial. Vitamin D (also referred to as calciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in a few foods, added to others and available as a dietary supplement. It is […]

Metformin: Metformin may weaken the benefits of exercise, a new study suggests. Metformin (1,1-dimethylbiguanide hydrochloride) is an anti-diabetic medication (biguanide). It is commonly prescribed to help manage type 2 diabetes. Metformin works in a few different ways to help keep your blood glucose (sugar) from getting too high. Metformin decreases the amount of glucose your […]

ESCAPEDE Mission: Blue Origin has successfully launched Nasa’s highly anticipated Escapade mission to Mars. The ESCAPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) mission is the first coordinated multi-spacecraft orbital science mission to the Mars. Its twin orbiters known as Blue and Gold which will take simultaneous observations from different locations around Mars. It is […]

Moon’s Sphere of Influence (MSI): ISRO confirmed that the Chandrayaan-3 Propulsion Module (PM) re-entered the Moon’s Sphere of Influence (MSI) during its high-altitude Earth-bound orbit, undergoing two lunar flybys.The Moon’s Sphere of Influence (MSI) is the region around the Moon where its gravitational influence dominates over Earth’s for orbital calculations.Inside this region, it is mathematically […]

Coronary Artery Disease: New research from Seoul scientists reveals how gut microbes may influence the development of coronary artery disease, the world’s leading killer. It is a common type of heart disease. CAD also may be called coronary heart disease. It affects the main blood vessels that supply blood to the heart, called the coronary […]

Altermagnetism : Discovery The discovery of altermagnetism represents a step forward in physicists’ understanding of the magnetic world. Magnetism has long been categorised into two primary types: ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. Ferromagnetism is responsible for the behaviour of materials like iron and nickel, where all magnetic moments align in the same direction, producing strong magnetisation – […]
