Instead, the Diamond facility acts like a giant microscope, producing light 10 billion times brighter than the sun that allows scientists to study anything from fossils and jet engines to viruses and vaccines. The scrolls were discovered between 1752 and 1754 during excavations at the Herculaneum site near the Bay of Naples in southern Italy, in a house believed to have belonged to the family of Julius Caesar. in 79 AD, Herculaneum was struck by a fiery cloud, which covered the city with ash, entombing everything intact.

10-10-2019: A quick look at any zoomed-in region of the galaxy shows that magnetic fields are not coherent and unidirectional on scales of the Milky Way, but rather only on the scales of individual star clusters. Beyond distance scales of a few dozen light-years, magnetic fields flip and switch directions, dominated by local, rather than galaxy-scale, dynamics. (ESA/PLANCK COLLABORATION). Extra-galactic light is unavoidably affected by our galactic magnetic fields.

Oct. 12, 2019: All told, that leads to a theoretical prediction, in Newtonian gravity, of Mercury’s perihelion precessing by 5557 arc-seconds per century. But our very good observations showed us that figure was slightly off, as we saw a precession of 5600 arc-seconds per century. That extra 43 arc-seconds per century was a nagging mystery, and the failure of searches to turn up a planet interior to Mercury deepened the puzzle even further. 

Oct 12, 2019: It’s easy, in hindsight, to just wave our hands and claim that General Relativity provides the answer. But it wasn’t the only possible answer. We could have slightly modified Newton’s gravitational law to be slightly different from an inverse square law, and that could be responsible for the extra precession. We could have demanded that the Sun be an oblate spheroid rather than a sphere, and that could have caused the extra precession.

Fi.4 The Hindu Sunday Red and Green ink 

The emission of red is due to fluorescence while green is due to phosphorescence phenomenon. Both red and green can be clearly seen with the naked eye under ambient conditions. The red colour is emitted at 611 nm wavelength while the green is emitted at 532 nm. The ink has the potential to be used as a security feature on currency notes and passports. Unlike in other materials, the ink shows phosphorescence as the emission of the red pigment is not quenched by the green pigment while the UV lamp is on as the two have very different emission wavelengths — 611 nm for red and 532 nm for green. Also, when exposed to 254 nm UV light, the excitation spectrum of one does not cover the other. Hydrothermal processing: The team first synthesised the pigments that emit red and green colours. For synthesising the red pigment, sodium yttrium fluorite doped with europium through hydrothermal method. For the green pigment, the researchers mixed strontium aluminium oxide and doped it with europium and dysprosium. “We have to use two dopants for the green pigment as continuous generation of photons is needed for phosphorescence. In this case, the europium provides the electrons while dysprosium provides the holes. The electrons and holes recombine to create photons.” The red and green pigments synthesised separately are mixed in 3:1 weight ratio and heated to 400 degree C for three hours. “Annealing [heating] at 400 degree C ensures that the rods [of sodium yttrium fluorite red pigment] adhere to the spheres [of the strontium aluminium oxide green pigment],” says Dr. Gupta. “If the two pigments are mixed without annealing then the two pigments would separate out during ink formation and the desired property of the ink to produce dual emission with single excitation will not be possible.”The ink is prepared by dispersing the two pigments that have been mixed at a high temperature in a commercially available polyvinyl chloride (PVC) medium and vigorously stirred for an hour. While the green phosphorescence is seen even if the ink is briefly exposed to UV radiation, exposing the ink to UV for 15 minutes ensures that the phosphorescence lasts for about four hours. There was no noticeable change in emission from the images even at the end of six months when exposed to high (42 C) and low (10 C) temperatures and high humidity. The emission showed no changes when the images were exposed to various bleaching solutions. “We carried out accelerated testing and found that the images to be stable for more than 20 years.”

Fig.6 About 4 gates of Srisailam opened 

and 1,11,932 cusecs released.

Srisailam brims with flood water and it is first time in 25 years that such a huge volume of water was released. 2,400 cusecs of water drawn by Telangana everyday. 1020 TMC flood water released down stream in the past two months due to heavy inflows from Srisailam. 4 gates of Srisailam opened and 1,11,932 cusecs released. It is the sixth time in this season the crest gates were open to release water flow downstream. Even after releasing water downstream in large volume like never before in recent times, there is enough water in the Srisailam project to cater to the needs of Kharif and Rabi crops in the Rayalaseema region. It also has enough volume for the drinking water needs of the region.   For the first time since 1990, in a single water year, the gates of the project were lifted five times to release the floodwater. Following heavy rains in upper catchment areas of river Krishna in Maharashtra and Karnataka since last week of July, there have been heavy inflows to the Srisailam project from both the Jurala project in River Krishna in Telangana and Tungabhadra dam in Karnataka.

It normally takes 45 days. This year between October 9 and 14, monsoon has already withdrawn from most parts of northwest India, central India, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Konkan, Goa etc. Wind patterns changed very quickly to northwesterly from easterly due to formation of an anti-cyclone over western parts of Rajasthan.”
