Everything about Neutrinos Neutrinos was 1st proposed by Swiss scientist Wolfgang Pauli in 1930. It is the 2nd most widely occurring particle in the Universe, after Photons (the particle which makes up light). Neutrinos are so abundant among us that every second there are > 100 trillion of them passing right through each of us. Properties of Neutrinos They are subatomic part different from Neutrons. Leptons family. No charge. In 2015, Nobel Prize was given to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur Mcdonald for discovering Neutrino Oscillations demonstrating that Neutrinos have mass (tiny mass). Not affected by electromagnetic forces which act on electrons. Neutrinos occur in 3 different types. They are separated in terms…

Advanced Chaff Technology by DRDO for Naval Safety DRDO has developed an Advanced Chaff Technology to safeguard the naval ships against enemy missile attacks. The successful development of Advanced Chaff Technology by DLJ is another step towards Atmanirbhar Bharat. Chaff is a passive expendable electronic countermeasure technology used worldwide to protect naval ships from enemy radar and Radio Frequency (RF) missile seekers. The importance of this development is that very less quantity of chaff material deployed in the air acts as decoy to deflect enemy’s missiles for safety of the ships. Defence Research and Development Organisation DRDO works under the administrative control…

ISRO & Related Space Agencies- Antrix, New Space India Limited & IN-SPACe NSIL and ANTRIX NSIL’s main purpose is to market the technologies developed by ISRO and bring it more clients that need space-based services. That role, incidentally, was already being performed by Antrix Corporation, another PSU working under the Department of Space, and which still exists. The government has clarified the role of NSIL that it would have a demand-driven approach rather than the current supply-driven strategy. Essentially, what that means is that instead of just marketing what ISRO has to offer, NSIL would listen to the needs of the…

HARVESTING WATER FROM AIR A team of researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology-Guwahati (IIT-G) have developed a method for harvesting water from humid air. About the Method This method involves spraying a sponge-like porous polymeric material on a normal printer paper. This method can also be used in underwater hulls of ships and submarines to prevent bio-fouling; and to prevent icing on aircraft windows. The method mainly uses the principle of hydrophobicity. The lotus leaves exhibit the property of hydrophobicity. They used ‘Slippery liquid-infused porous surface’ (SLIPS) to effectively harvest water from foggy air. The SLIPS are capable of…
