Nov. 16, 2020: India’s 5G plans can gain traction under Biden-Harris leadership. Early September 2020, India, Israel, and the United States initiated a collaboration in developmental area, and in the next generation of emerging technologies, including a transparent, open, reliable and secure 5G communication network. The three nations want to deliver the promise of 5G in a way that is open, interoperable, reliable, and secure. India believes that partnering with the US gives the country an added and accelerated edge to take the spectrum to trials.
Nov. 16, 2020: Fire at Oil India's Assam well extinguished after nearly six months. State-run explorer Oil India Ltd said on Monday a deadly fire at its well in eastern India that that started raging nearly six months ago has been "doused completely."The company had brought in experts from Singapore-based company Alert to control the blow-out.
Nov.16, 2020: Physicists from MIPT and Vladimir State University, Russia, have achieved a nearly 90% efficiency converting light energy into surface waves on graphene. They relied on a laser-like energy conversion scheme and collective resonances. The paper came out in Laser & Photonics Reviews. Manipulating light at the nanoscale is a task crucial for being able to create ultracompact devices for optical energy conversion and storage. To localize light on such a small scale, researchers convert optical radiation into so-called surface plasmon-polaritons.
Nov. 17, 2020: The new research looked at “dark chemistry”, or the ways that new kinds of materials can form without energetic radiation. They were able to simulate the conditions that govern chemistry in space, before the stars and planets that today surround us are formed, and there are instead dense interstellar clouds that will eventually go on to form those more solid objects. Scientists found that even within those clouds, glycine – the simplest amino acid and an important building block for life – can form. Other amino acids can probably form under those conditions too. Researchers have now found that glycine and other amino acids form in interstellar clouds much before they transform into new stars and planets.
Nov. 17, 2020: The special particle can exist around a pair of black holes just like how an electron exists around a pair of hydrogen atoms. It is the first time when the existence of a so-called “gravitational molecule” has ever been explained. Specific types of fields, called scalar fields can exist around binary black holes.
Nov. 17, 2020: at 5:35PM: Stars that lack metal in their composition are assumed to be among the most ancient in existence, and recent research has found that some of them travel in previously unpredicted patterns. The scientist further says that they have studied 475 of such objects and found that about 11 percent of those orbit in an almost flat plane that is the Milky Way's disc. The space objects follow a nearly circular path which is very similar to the Sun. This unexpected discovery has now forced astronomers to rethink some of our basic ideas.

TN schoolgirl wins Children's Climate Prize for designing solar-powered ironing cart. Vinisha Umashankar has also been shortlisted for the Prime Minister of India’s Rashtriya Bal Shakti Puraskar 2021, the highest civilian award in India for students under the age of 18. Vinisha will receive the prize of 100,000 Swedish krona (Rs 8.64 lakh approximately), diploma, and medal from the Sweden-based Children's Climate Foundation on Wednesday at a digital event attended by Isabella Lövin, Swedish Minister for Environment and Climate and Deputy Prime Minister. I designed a mobile ironing cart with solar panels as its roof, which is connected to a 100 Ah battery. A 12 volt 100 Ah battery needs about 1200 watts of power to be fully charged. The solar panels will produce 250 watts of power per hour. All it takes is five hours of bright sunshine to fully charge the battery, which in turn will power the steam iron box for six hours.

Saving the precious geo-heritage sites of Visakhapatnam. The natural arch, for instance, is likely to date back to the period after the last Ice Age around 10,000 years ago and is similar to the natural rock arch of Silathoranam in the Tirumala Hills. We are pushing to get recognition of a geo park for Visakhapatnam consisting of Erra Matti Dibbalu (red sand dunes), natural rock formations at Mangamaripeta, million-years-old Borra Caves and volcanic ash deposits said to have originated from the volcanic eruption of Toba in Indonesia 73,000 years ago near Araku.

Nov. 18, 2020: Newly Discovered Mineral 'Petrovit' Can Be Used to Power Renewable Batteries. The compound being called petrovite, or Na10CaCu2(SO4)8 in chemical nomenclature, is a blue, globular aggregate of tabular crystals with gaseous inclusions. The mineral is made up of oxygen atoms, sodium sulphur and copper, forming a porous framework. It's inner voids connect with each other via channels which act like very narrow tunnels where sodium atoms can travel freely. The mineral was found in the volcanic landscape situated in the far east of Russia, atop the Tolbachik volcano in the Kamchatka Peninsula. The volcano is particularly popular because of its volatile history. The ‘Great Tolbachik Fissure Eruption’ in 1975- 1976 was followed by a smaller eruption in 2012-2013 in two of the most significant eruptions associated with Tolbachik. The first eruption left a wide area surrounding the volcano bare where scientists later discovered fumarole deposits and several unknown minerals. According to the data, as many as 130 minerals have been first discovered at the site of the Tolbachik volcano, with petrovite being the latest. Now that the mineral was finally studied, it shows a new kind of molecular structure, as per the study. Stanislav Filatov from St Petersburg University, who is also the lead researcher and crystallographer, said in a press release that the "copper atom in the crystal structure of petrovite has an unusual and very rare coordination of seven oxygen atoms". The newly-discovered crystal structure bears resemblance to another mineral called the saranchinaite, which was also found at Tolbachik a few years ago. Petrovite's molecular framework consists of oxygen atoms, sodium sulphur and copper is also porous in nature. This chemical structure allows the sulphur ions to move in and out of the structure easily. Hence, scientists believe petrovite can be used to invent new ways of developing cathodes for use in batteries and electrical devices.

IIT Guwahati Develops Space Optical Communication Using Light Beams. In free-space communication, an IIT Guwahati statement says, data in the form of voice, text or image is transmitted using light wirelessly rather than through optical fibres and it represents the next generation of communications technology. “In our work, the transmission station modulates the phase profile of a laser beam that carries the data, in terms of the strengths of a few Zernike modes. In the process we also enhance the information content per modulation cycle of the laser beam.”The research team has demonstrated the distortion-free transmission of text messages and images over a distance of one kilometre even in the presence of turbulence during a stormy weather. “In addition to eliminating errors in communication, our system is also insulated from hacking and interloping, because the receiver decodes the transmitted beam by measuring the phase and not the power of the light beam, with prior knowledge about the strength and types of Zernike modes used, which make it more secure than wired and other conventional wireless forms of communication”.

Nov. 16, 2020: These solar panels don’t need the sun to produce energy. a new invention has found a way to work around the inconsistency of solar energy by harvesting unseen ultraviolet light that’s present no matter the weather. It could soon be turning the windows and walls of buildings into a rich new source of electricity. The concept is called AuREUS (which stands for Aurora Renewable Energy and UV Sequestration), and it was invented by Carvey Ehren Maigue, an electrical engineering student in the Philippines. It involves a combination of organic luminescent particles that absorb UV light and convert it to visible light, and a solar film that then converts that visible light into energy. “It’s similar to how we breathe in oxygen and we exhale carbon dioxide,” Maigue says. “It takes in ultraviolet light, and then after some time it would shed it as visible light.” Produced in the form of a resin similar to what’s used in bulletproof glass, this light-harvesting technology can be used to create windows, walls, or any other part of a building’s exterior, evolving the traditional rooftop solar array. The invention was recently selected as a winner of the first James Dyson Sustainability Award, which comes with a $35,000 prize.
Nov. 16, 2020: Earthquake: Magnitude 3.5 quake strikes near Loma Linda was reported 1:28 a.m. In the last 10 days, there have been no earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater centered nearby.

Nov. 25, 2020: The image showed vast shadows stretching from the centre of the galaxy as though something is blocking the bright light from within. It was similar to how bright beams from the Sun below the horizon and clouds or mountains only partially block its light, known as crepuscular rays. Astronomers believe that the shadows from IC 5063 could be something very similar, but on a gigantic scale as the rays reach at least 36,000 light-years in each direction. According to LiveScience, IC 5063 is a Seyfert galaxy, which means it has an active nucleus. The supermassive black hole at its centre is guzzling down material from a dense accretion disc and torus of dust and gas around it.

Nov. 26, 2020: Object with Brahmi Inscription of Ashokan Period Found in Telangana's Manjira Valley. Archaeologists discovered a terracotta object containing Brahmi inscription written in Prakrit language and in characters of the 3rd century B.C, on the shores of River Manjira in Medak district of Telangana state. Three more Buddhist inscriptions were found in a rock shelter on the banks of the Manjeera in the village of Nagasanpalli, about a km from where the terracotta shell was found. These inscriptions were also written in the Brahmi script of the natural language of the 1st century BC and 1st century AD. One of the inscriptions reads 'Hey Namo Buddha', another inscription reads 'Damma' (Dharma), and the third inscription reads 'Hey Jama'. Archaeological excavations at the caves have uncovered traces of tools used by the aborigines during the last part of the Neolithic Age (12,000 years ago).
Nov. 26, 2020: The usual "liquid" state of water that we are all familiar with corresponds to liquid water at normal temperatures (approximately 25 centigrade). However, the paper shows that water at low temperatures (approximately -63 centigrade) exists in two different liquid states, a low-density liquid at low pressures and a high-density liquid at high pressures. These two liquids have noticeably different properties and differ by 20% in density. The results imply that at appropriate conditions, water should exist as two immiscible liquids separated by a thin interface similar to the coexistence of oil and water.
Nov. 27, 2020: Swedish town is shocked when sky keeps turning purpleIn Gislov, a small town just a 10-minute east of Trelleborg, the tomato farm operators have started using a new energy-saving LED light system which glows purple.

In Rushikonda there were seven wells which were representative of the seven stars in the sky. Indian names of stars of Sapta Rishi: Bhirgu, Vasishta, Angiras the three and the four Atri, Kratu, Pulaha and Pulastya Clockwise. Vasisthta had a companion close star termed as his wife and married people in India are compulasarily are asked to identify the stars and note the wife of Vasistha to secure the graceful eye sight of the newly married lady. Possibly date back to when Indian Continent was a part of the African Continent. The wells were recently destroyed and in my childhood I have visited them, in Rishikonda Beach. May be one well is still surviving. People in India were they able to communicate with the people of Sapta Rishi, the puja they do with water four times a day, is it a source of communication? Do the human forms exist in the Seven Stars? It is very intriguing to know the Technology of the ancient times is it by word? The mantras they use and the consecutive contact with distant humans is very fascinating.

The publication of the journal ‘Nature’ of Thursday reveals that our star performs what’s called the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) fusion cycle, a process that involves heavier elements than what scientists expected for a star of the Sun’s size. This new investigation, nonetheless, went directly to the source by catching neutrinos.
Nov. 28, 2020: Hubble data solves mystery of missing dark matter in a galaxy 45 million light years away. An international team of astronomers have unveiled the mystery of the missing dark matter in galaxy NGC 1052-DF4, located about 45 million light years from Earth. Using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the astronomers found that the gravitational forces from the giant, neighbouring galaxy NGC 1035 may have stripped the dark matter from NGC 1052-DF4. Dark matter was present in NGC 1052-DF4 through and beyond its formation, but was evaporated through the effects of tidal disruption. After the dark matter, the outer stellar component of the galaxy is now starting to suffer the disruption mechanism too. In time, the galaxy will be cannibalised by the large system around NGC 1035, with at least some of their starts floating free in deep space,
Nov 29, 2020, 05:06 IST: The Times of India News: Indian-led research team brings quantum internet closer to reality. For the first time, a group of scientists has found a scalable process, connecting eight devices on a quantum network in Bristol. “This is the largest entanglement-based quantum communication network. Multinodal networks like this have not been built before,” said Siddarth Joshi from the University of Bristol’s Quantum Engineering Technology lab, who led the study with a team of 15 under the UK National Quantum Communications Hub project. “We have been able to show this on a city-wide scale. Joshi and his team figured there could be a workaround — wavelength multiplexing. “You take light, you split light based on its colour (i.e. wavelength) so you now have many entangled states. You distribute the various wavelengths to various users. You do this simultaneously and everyone can talk to everyone else.” Multiplexing' system splits light particles that carry information to multiple users secure online communications that can't be penetrated by cyber attacks. The University of Bristol's 'multiplexing' system splits light particles that carry information to multiple internet users from a single central source. Researchers have demonstrated the technology – which employs the odd effects of quantum entanglement – on optical fibres in different locations across Bristol.
- when two particles become inextricably linked.
The quantum physics experiment has demonstrated an important step
towards quantum cryptography between many users, an essential
requirement for a secure quantum internet.
Nov, 30, 2020: Mahabalipuram, India. Sunken ancient ruins were the stuff of legend in southeast India. Until a sunken town was unearthed at the shore of Mahabalipuram, also known as Mamallapuram. Eyewitnesses claimed to have spotted boulders and walls as the tide receded immediately before the devastating tsunami that hit much of Asia in December 2004. Excavations revealed they had been right – and what they saw was actually the remains of an ancient port city.

Almost as bright as full moon’: Mysterious fireball lights up sky over Japan. According to reports, the fireball was so bright that it could be seen through closed curtains. The fireball momentarily lit up the sky at 1:34 am (local time) on Sunday. A social media user said that it seemed the ‘entire sky was lit up. Some eyewitnesses claimed that it made a ‘rumbling noise.’ The fireball was later identified as a meteor after fragments were found in neighboring Narashino, Chiba district. Both the fragments were analysed and isotopes of aluminum, sodium, and manganese were detected.
Nov. 30, 2020: Lifestyle Myth Burst: Two-third of Indians are either diabetic or pre-diabetic. On the contrary, Hyderabad (45%) followed by Vijaywada (43%) appears to be most aware. The survey shows that only a small fraction of Indians (10%) knows that hardening of arteries fell under the umbrella of heart diseases.

due to microscopic marine plants.
Why is Mumbai's Juhu Beach Glowing Blue at Night? People Are Amazed to Witness This Stunning PhenomenonYou get to see the surreal influence of the blue tides due to phytoplanktons which are microscopic marine plants. When this bioluminescent marine life called Noctiluca scintillans get disturbed by the sea waves, a molecule called luciferin that is present in their body reacts to the oxygen molecules present in water and produces light energy within this organism's body. When multiple organisms undergo this chemical reaction at a time, you witness a sight to behold.
Nov 30, 2020: Nainital (Uttarakhand), A bridge for reptiles may sound uncanny but the Uttarakhand Forest Department has built a first-of-its-kind elevated eco-bridge across a busy highway in Ramnagar forest division so that reptiles trying to cross over are not crushed under traffic.
Nov. 30, 2020: A biologist, botanist, physicist, author and an inventor Jagdish Chandra Bose was a man who had donned many hats in his life. Born in 1858, in the district Mymensingh of the Bengal Presidency (present day Bangladesh), Bose was known most significantly for his research on radio development. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a New York-based international body, even called him the ‘Father of Radio Science’ since the science behind radio technology was first explained by Bose. On his 162nd birth anniversary on 30 November, ThePrint looks at the polymath, his achievements and how he went on to establish the Bose Institute in 1917.
