Recurrent outburst of twin star points towards rare future supernovae

New Delhi, December 01, 2022: Astronomers tracking the constellation Ophiuchus have spotted a recurrent nova system (a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently “new” star that slowly fades over weeks or months) approximately 5,000 light-years away. Their study of data from the outburst of the star called RS Ophiuchi detected on August 8, 2021, which […]

New study on behaviour of charged particles in a magnetic field under ultra-cold temperatures can help control noise in quantum technology

New Delhi, November 30, 2022: A new study conducted by Bengaluru-based scientists has thrown fresh light on how a charged particle in contact with an environment in the presence of a magnetic field behaves when it is subjected to ultra-cold temperatures. Scientists involved in the study have said that the latest findings could deepen existing knowledge […]

Graphene-stabilised tunable photonic crystal can make more durable and better reflective display and lasers devices

New Delhi, November 26, 2022: A soft tunable photonic crystal with enhanced thermal stability and optical purity developed by researchers that reflects vivid colours in the visible spectrum has potential applications in making more durable and better reflective displays and laser devices. Photonic crystal is optical nanostructures in which the refractive index changes periodically. This affects the propagation of […]

New technique for efficient fabrication of liquid crystal display devices with lowered cost

New Delhi, November 16, 2022: A new easier technique for manufacturing liquid crystal display has been developed, which can reduce the cost of the devices. An essential requirement of liquid crystal devices (LCDs) is the unidirectional planar alignment of the constituent liquid crystals (LC) over large areas. Although the conventional polymer rubbing method yields quality […]

An indigenous technology from IIT Madras can now produce new-generation superabrasive tools

New Delhi, November 12, 2022: A newly developed technology can now produce new-generation multi-point/single-layer superabrasive tools for advanced grinding applications to meet high productivity and energy-efficient material removal requirements. The tools produced also have enhanced tool life. Grinding industries have aired their voices for developing advanced superabrasive cBN/diamond tools that meet high productivity and energy-efficient material […]

Tech for retrofitting non-earthquake-resistant buildings can prevent major damage in old settlements

New Delhi, November 04, 2022:Researchers have found a solution for retrofitting old non-earthquake-resistant buildings with a technology that can prevent major damage to such buildings from earthquake without compromising on their strength. The technology called semi-confined unreinforced brick masonry (SC-URBM) can resolve the problem of spread of settlements in earthquake-prone areas with constructions that have […]
