Feb. 2020/ Vol.22/No.5/ DREAM 2047: Bibha Chowdhuri along with DMBose discovered the pi-meson and published in journal Nature in early 1940s. After seven years of this stunning discovery C. E. Powell made the same discovery of pions and muons by using the same process. Madam Chowdhuri contribution sank into oblivion.

March 13, 2020 4:02:00 PM: India’s first-ever unmanned war machine is here; To be tested soon. “SOORAN is field-tested and ready to go for manufacturing.
Mar 13, 2020, 2:52 pm IST: No-focus camera made by Indian-led team could make smartphones less bulky. : A team led by an Indian-origin scientist has developed a camera that does not require focusing, by using a single lens about one-thousandth of an inch thick. The advance could enable thinner smartphone cameras, improved and smaller cameras for biomedical imaging such as endoscopy, and more compact cameras for automobiles.

CT varsity techie develops robot that sows seeds.“The robot’s structure is very viable for any kind of cultivating fields. The design is very simple, but capable of managing a big area of land. The seed sowing robot consists of three broad parts. The first part consists of electronic components. I have used the Arduino Uno and the motor shield to control the robot. The second part consists of the main mechanical components which allow the robot to move in the field and the mechanism for seed sowing. The most important part is the third part. It consists of all 3D printed parts. The unique thing about this robot is that most of the body of the robot is 3D printed and the rest of the body is made from waste PVC pipes. In this way, it is very easy to customize the robot according to the requirement and the cost is very less.”Mar. 15, 2020: France closes shops, restaurants, tells people to stay home.
