The study of magnetic fields in different layers of the solar system using data from the Kodaikanal Tower Tunnel Telescope has revealed a new way to probe deeper into the mysteries of the Sun. The solar system is made up of different layers interconnected through magnetic fields. The magnetic field acts as a conduit for transferring energy and mass from the inner layers to the outer layers, commonly known as the “coronal heating problem”, and is also a major factor in the solar wind. Measuring magnetic fields at different heights…

Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology (DST), has signed an agreement with Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) to promote the development of indigenous zinc-ion battery technologies. The collaboration will focus on developing new types of zinc materials that are required to enhance the performance and commercial viability of zinc-ion batteries. Zinc, despite being abundant and cost-effective, presents challenges in its application due to its thermodynamic instability with water-based solutions. The partnership aims to address these challenges through material innovations…
