Novel experimental framework in fluid dynamics can help in earthquake early warnings
New Delhi, June 23, 2022: Scientists have developed a novel experimental framework in fluid dynamics to describe deformation in disordered soft solids formed by mixing solid grains at significant proportions in a simple liquid which can help in developing early warning systems to minimize damage due to catastrophic events like landslide/earthquake. Granular systems exist all around […]
Glacial advances in the Yankti Kuti Valley synchronizes with climate variability
New Delhi, June 21, 2022: Multiple events of glacial advances have been witnessed from the Yankti Kuti valley situated in the extreme eastern part of Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand, since 52 thousand years (MIS 3) that synchronises with climate variability, according to a new study. Many researchers have provided information on the nature of glaciation in […]
Neutral electron flow detected in Graphene could shape future quantum computation
New Delhi, June 20, 2022: Physicists have detected counter propagating channels in two layered graphene along which certain neutral quasiparticles move in opposite directions breaking conventional norms. The detection has potential to shape the future quantum computation. When a strong magnetic field is applied to a 2D material or gas, the electrons at the interface […]

A Unique Liquid-Mirror Telescope sees first light in the Indian Himalayas
New Delhi, June 12, 2022: A new telescope facility atop a mountain in the Himalayan range will now keep a watch on the overhead sky to identify transient or variable objects such as supernovae, gravitational lenses, space debris, and asteroids. The telescope, commissioned at Devasthal, a hill in Uttarakhand, will help in surveying the sky making […]
New manufacturing process for steel alloy powder for developing efficient cooling channels can make pressure die casting more efficient
New Delhi, June 10, 2022: Researchers have developed a manufacturing process for steel alloy powder that can act as a tool for developing efficient cooling channels for pressure die casting. This can help improve the tool service life, quality of cast parts and reduce number of rejections during the casting process. Pressure die casting is used […]
