Every year, tens of millions of Hindu pilgrims wade into the Ganges River, seeking salvation from the eternal cycle of life and death. Holy men lead prayers and offer blessings, and devotees wash their sins away in the sacred waters. the Ganges river water turns into "amrita," or the nectar of immortality, on particular days. Bathing in the sacred waters of the "sangam," where the Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati rivers meet, is believed to achieve "moksha," or release from the cycle of life and death.

And the microstructure of a needle from Cyprus retains the touch of the person who shaped it, in traces of dark corrosion that emerged as the needle was rotated and hammered. In another striking image, a bit of basalt glitters in a ceramic roof tile from Gordion, a site in Turkey that was inhabited from at least 2300 B.C., during the early Bronze Age (the tile dates to the first half of the sixth century B.C.). Basalt, a volcanic rock, looks dull and black to the naked eye. But when viewed in polarized light under a microscope, it shimmers with vivid colors. "We're also trying to figure out the technology of those who made those tiles — how they mixed the clays and how they added any type of inclusions, including those pieces of basalt,"

Jan. 17, 2021: Americans have been using aluminum foil for over 100 years, since it was first used to wrap Life Savers, candy bars, and gum. For many years up to today, we've mostly used it in our kitchens, to bake fish or roast vegetables on the barbecue, to line baking pans, and to trap steam when cooking. Research has generally found that a couple of factors make aluminum more likely to leach into your food. One of these is the temperature: The higher the temperature you're cooking at, the more conducive the environment is for aluminum to enter your food, an Electrochem. Sci. study found. The acidity of the food is another major factor. According to Amber Adams, founder of Kitchens Ready, "If you're cooking acidic foods like tomatoes or vinegar-based marinades, this can break down the foil and leach even more aluminum into your food.
Jan. 17, 2021: 23 hrs ago: Right now though this is still a theoretical hypothesis, but the scientists state in their paper that, "Spinning black holes store rotational energy that can be extracted. When a black hole is immersed in an externally supplied magnetic field, reconnection of magnetic field lines within the ergosphere can generate negative energy (relative to infinity) particles that fall into the black hole event horizon while the other accelerated particles escape stealing energy from the black hole. We show analytically that energy extraction via magnetic reconnection is possible when the black hole spin is high . and the plasma is strongly magnetized."
Jan 17, 2021: 'Old Faithful' galaxy has brilliant outbursts every 114 days. Researchers saw repeated outbursts — every 114 days, on average — in a galaxy some 570 million light-years away from Earth. (For perspective, the nearest star system to Earth is roughly 4 light-years away.) The event, known as ASASSN-14ko, is flaring vehemently and in several wavelengths of light. These are the most predictable and frequent recurring multiwavelength flares we've seen from a galaxy's core, and they give us a unique opportunity to study this extragalactic Old Faithful in detail.
Jan.17, 2021:'Bumblebee gravity' could explain why the universe is expanding so quickly Physicists have long assumed that the universe is pretty much the same in any direction, and now they've found a new way to test that hypothesis: by examining the shadow of a black hole. If that shadow is a wee bit smaller than existing physics theories predict, it could help prove a far-out notion called bumblebee gravity, which describes what would happen if the seemingly perfect symmetry of the universe isn't so perfect after all. If scientists can find a black hole with such an undersized shadow, it would open the door to a brand-new understanding of gravity — and perhaps explain why the universe is expanding ever faster.

Jan. 20: 2021: Navy fast-tracks 'on-time' delivery of nuclear-armed Columbia-class submarine. The rapid and large-scale proliferation of undersea drones, many of them being quite small, quiet, and less detectable by submarine defenses, presents an entirely new threat calculus for submarine commanders who need to lurk quietly in undisclosed, undetectable, yet strategically vital locations. This, interestingly, may in fact be the case due to a Navy effort to integrate an entire suite of new undersea warfare technologies into the Columbia-class.

The girl’s parents, who were looking for her, spotted her in time. They said they found her under a pile of thorn bushes and stones. Betul SP Simala Prasad, however, denies this. She was taken to Nagpur Medical College. Police have arrested a 35-year-old neighbour on the basis of her statement. The child’s parents said they got worried and went looking for her when she didn’t return from their farm till late Monday evening. Their search took them towards a nullah where they heard her whimpering. Police say the rapist had hit her on the head with a stone and left her to die.
Jan. 21, 2021 24 mins ago: Twisted light from the beginning of time could reveal brand-new physics. A twist in the universe's first light could hint that scientists need to rethink physics. A pair of Japanese scientists looked at the polarization or orientation of light from the cosmic microwave background radiation, some of the earliest light emitted after the universe's birth. They found the polarization of photons, or light particles, might be slightly rotated from their original orientation when the light was first produced. And dark energy or dark matter may have been responsible for that rotation. Maybe there is some unknown particle, which contributes to dark energy, that perhaps rotates the photon polarization," . This allowed them to determine the polarization rotation of CMB light was non-zero, which means that the light has interacted with something that violates parity. That something could be dark energy or dark matter, which would mean that the particles that make up these mysterious substances violate parity.

Fig.4: Blue clouds above the Earth spanning 31 miles.
Also generated by the flash were so-called 'elves' — expanding rings of optical and ultraviolet emissions which appear at the bottom of the ionosphere, some 50 miles (80 km) above the Earth's surface. They are formed by electrons and radio waves interacting with the atmosphere. 'Blue jets are lightning-like, atmospheric electric discharges of several hundred millisecond duration that fan into cones as they propagate from the top of thunderclouds into the stratosphere,' the researchers wrote in their paper. 'They are thought to initiate in an electric breakdown between the positively charged upper region of a cloud and a layer of negative charge at the cloud boundary and in the air above,' they continued. ISS detects blue lightning jets shooting upwards from thunder clouds. It reached up into the stratosphere — experts believe that blue jets can span distances of up to 31 miles (50 km) — and lasted less than a second. Because blue jets form above the cloud layer, they are very difficult to see — and study — from down on the surface of the Earth. The blue jet recently detected by ASIM was kicked off by an intense series of five 10-microsecond flashes, the researchers reported.

Jan. 23, 2021: 9 hrs ago: Live Science logo: Neutrons' 'evil twins' may be crushing stars into black holes. The universe may be filled with "mirror" particles — and these otherwise-undetectable particles could be shrinking the densest stars in the universe, turning them into black holes, a new study suggests. the preprint database arXiv but not yet peer-reviewed, if these particles exist, they would be shrinking the densest stars in the universe into black holes. By introducing mirror matter, reflection is preserved in the universe: Ordinary matter performs left-handed interactions, and mirror matter performs right-handed interactions. Everything syncs up at the mathematical level. As neutrons slowly convert to mirror neutrons, the star shrinks. At a 1:1 ratio of regular neutrons to mirror neutrons, the neutron star finds itself about 30% smaller. Neutron stars can hold themselves up from the crushing weight of their own gravity by a quantum mechanical process called degeneracy pressure. But that pressure has a limit, and with fewer regular neutrons, that limit shrinks. If a star had a 1:1 ratio of ordinary neutrons to mirror neutrons, the maximum mass of neutron stars in the universe would be about 30% less massive than what we would normally expect. More massive than this, and neutron stars would collapse into black holes.

Jan. 25, 2021: Simmhan’s lab has developed a software platform called Anveshak to address this gap. It can not only run these tracking models efficiently but also plug in advanced computer vision tools and intelligently adjust different parameters — such as a camera network’s search radius — in real-time. In a recently published paper, the researchers show how Anveshak can be used to track an object (like a stolen car) across a 1,000-camera network. “A key feature of the platform is that it allows a tracking model or algorithm to focus only on feeds from certain cameras along an expected route, and tune out other feeds. It can also automatically increase or decrease the search radius or “spotlight” based on the object’s last known position,” IISc said. The platform also enables the tracking to continue uninterrupted even if the resources, the type and number of computers that analyse the feeds, are limited.

Jan.26, 2021:Astronomers have found a “very special” solar system with six planets that are locked in a strange rhythm. The worlds move around their central stars in resonance, locked in a rhythmic dance as they move around their orbits. The TOI-178 planets, some 200 lightyears away, move in a much more complex “chain of resonance”, representing one of the longest ever found. They move in a 18:9:6:4:3 chain, meaning that in the time the first in the chain completes 18 orbits, the second has done nine, and so on. The pattern is so reliable that even though scientists were only able to initially observe five planets, they could infer the missing one by its place in the chain.

Indian scientist transforms his old car into functioning digger. A scientist in Thiruvananthapuram, India, has transformed his old car into a functioning backhoe in just two months. Ben Jacob, a scientist at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), spent his time during the country's COVID-19 lockdown making the DIY digger. Footage filmed on January 24 shows Jacob using the backhoe to dig a hole in the ground. It cost the scientist around $958 to transform the car into the backhoe whereas an excavator would cost $27,378. He used the car he had purchased for his wife so she could learn to drive a few years ago.

Jan. 27, 2021: A massive "cursus" monument, a site for ancient rituals, that was built around the same time as Stonehenge, has been discovered on the Scottish Isle of Arran. Cursus monuments, which were constructed during the Neolithic period (4000 B.C. to 2500 B.C.) are long rectangular earthwork enclosures, meaning that they are built by modifying the land. The long enclosures were often outlined by timber posts and were used for ceremonial processions, possibly to honor the dead or worship ancestors.

Fig.14 Three eclipsing binaries TESS found.
In a first, astronomers of the NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS have found a system of six stars made of three eclipsing binaries. The primary stars in all three binaries are all slightly bigger and more massive than the Sun and about as hot. The system, also called TIC 168789840, is located about 1,900 light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. The system consists of three gravitationally-bound eclipsing binaries in a hierarchical structure of an inner quadruple system with an outer binary subsystem.
Jan. 28, 2021: In a World First, Physicists Narrow Down The Possible Mass of Dark Matter. Based on quantum gravity, physicists have worked out new, much more stringent upper and lower mass limits of dark matter particles. And they have found that the mass range is way tighter than previously thought. Based on the assumption that only gravity can interact with dark matter, they determined that the mass of the particle should fall between 10-3 electronvolts and 107 electronvolts, depending on the spins of the particles, and the nature of dark matter interactions. That's insanely smaller than the 10-24 electronvolt to 1019 gigaelectronvolt range traditionally ascribed, For example, for singlet scalar dark matter, we find a mass range 10^-3 eV<= mphi<= 10^7eV. The lower bound comes from limits on fifth force type interactions and the upper bound from the lifetime of the dark matter candidate.

Jan. 29, 2021: The tectonic plates under the Americas, Europe, and Africa are being pushed apart as the Atlantic Ocean widens year by year. New research reveals what's pushing the plates apart: Material from deep within the Earth is bursting upward at an undersea ridge in the middle of the Atlantic. The Atlantic Ocean grows 1.5 inches wider every year. That's because the tectonic plates undergirding the Americas are separating from those beneath Europe and Africa. But precisely how and why that is happening has been a mystery to scientists, since the geological forces that typically push plates apart aren't prevalent in the Atlantic. The researchers behind the study found that material from deep within the Earth is rising to the surface under the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, thereby pushing the plates on either side of the divide apart.

Jan. 29, 2021: 16 hrs ago: Mysterious 'kick' just after the Big Bang may have created dark matter. Now, new research hypothesizes that early in the universe, there was a mysterious "kick" that produced more matter than antimatter, leading to today's imbalance. And that imbalance may have also led to the creation of dark matter, the mysterious substance that tugs on everything else yet doesn't interact with light. And in physics, every time a symmetry of nature gets broken, a new kind of particle, known as a "Goldstone boson," pops up to enforce the breaking of the symmetry. (In the modern universe, for instance, the pion is a kind of Goldstone boson that appears when a symmetry of the strong nuclear force is broken.) Maybe the dark matter is a kind of Goldstone boson, associated with the breaking of baryon number symmetry in the early cosmos, the study proposes. But it does suggest the reason that dark matter and normal matter are in roughly equal balance is because they had their origins in the same event. It's a very clean and intriguing idea, but it still doesn't explain exactly how that early symmetry breaking took place.

The two space agencies have a joint solar probe called Solar Orbiter that captured the shining planets Earth, Venus, and Mars. In an Instagram post that was shared by the ESA earlier this week, the planets are visible in a recording made by the Heliospheric Imager (SoloHI) camera on board the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft. In various areas of our neighbourhood, these spacecraft are travelling to understand solar phenomena such as the intense heat of the outer atmosphere of the sun, the distribution of dust in our solar system or the output of solar wind, the steady stream of particles coming from our sun.

All-woman crew in Ladakh runs LPG plant that Army depends on. LEH: Every morning, Tsering Angmo leaves her two-year-old son with neighbours and commutes 20 km through a frozen landscape from her home in Choglamsar, a settlement near Leh, to work at Ladakh’s only LPG bottling plant near Leh. Angmo is part of a 12-member all-women crew making sure that the 50,000 Indian soldiers eyeballing the People’s Liberation Army in Arctic temperatures do not have to march on empty stomachs. The plant, built by state-run IndianOil, is Ladakh’s only source of cooking gas and a lifeline once snow snaps road connectivity with the rest of the country. About 40% of the refills produced at the plant go to the defence establishment. It is also the country’s only LPG unit to be operated by women.

Jan. 31. 2021: And now, new observations with the High Altitude Water Cherenkov Experiment (HAWC) observatory reveal an unlikely candidate: an otherwise mundane giant molecular cloud. Detailed in a paper recently appearing in the preprint journal arXiv, the astronomers found a source of gamma rays exceeding 200 TeV, which could only be created by even more powerful cosmic rays — the kinds of cosmic rays that reach up into the PeV scale. The source, called HAWC J1825-134, lies roughly in the direction of the galactic center. HAWC J1825-134 appears to us as a bright blotch of gamma rays, illuminated by some unknown fount of cosmic rays — perhaps the most powerful known source of cosmic rays in the Milky Way.Above an energy of 10^15 eV, cosmic rays are much rarer than you would expect. This has led astronomers to believe that any cosmic rays at this energy level and higher come from outside the galaxy, while processes within the Milky Way are capable of producing cosmic rays up to and including 10^15 eV.

Jan. 31, 2021: The Hindu Sunday: Type II supernova collapsing core may form a black hole or a neutron star. Most of the energy in supernova collapse is carried away by neutrinos. The neutrinos come in three flavours. Electron-neutrino, Muon- neutrino and the tau-neutrino and during the raging supernova the neutrinos can change from one flavour to the other. Being nonlinear phenomenon, occurs in the high density and energy of the supernova termed collective neutrino oscillations. Due to asymmetry the oscillations can happen at a nanosecond time scale, termed as fast oscillation. New research emphasises the asymmetry between electron-neutrino and the corresponding antineutrinos. Thus the presence of asymmetry between the muon-neutrinos and the antineutrinos will be crucial for the neutrino oscillations, in turn influencing the supernova mechanism and the heavy element synthesis in stellar environments.
