On February 6, 2025, the Indian Navy’s First Training Squadron (1TS), comprising INS Sujata, INS Shardul, and ICGS Veera, arrived at Changi Naval Base in Singapore. This visit is part of their Long-Range Training Deployment to Southeast Asia, aiming to strengthen maritime cooperation and foster mutual understanding between the Indian Navy and the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). During the port call, Dr. Shilpak Ambule, the High Commissioner of India to Singapore, visited the 1TS ships. He was briefed on the squadron’s training activities and interacted with the sea trainees,…

India has crossed the remarkable milestone of 100 GW in installed solar power capacity, marking a pivotal achievement in its renewable energy journey. This success reflects the nation’s commitment to achieving sustainable energy goals and is a key step toward its target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based energy by 2030. The nation’s solar sector has experienced exponential growth, positioning India as a global leader in solar power production. Source

Researchers at the Bose Institute, an autonomous institution under India’s Department of Science and Technology (DST), have achieved a significant milestone in the indigenous development of Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors. These detectors are vital for high-energy physics experiments, including the upcoming Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Germany. GEM detectors function as tracking devices in particle physics by amplifying signals from ionizing radiation through a perforated foil with a high electric field. This amplification enables precise detection of particles like…

In a significant move to bolster India’s defense capabilities and advance the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has signed contracts totaling ₹10,147 crore with three Indian defense companies: Economic Explosives Limited (EEL), Munitions India Limited (MIL), and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL). Key Details of the Contracts: Economic Explosives Limited (EEL): Contracted to supply Area Denial Munition (ADM) Type-1 (DPICM) rockets for the PINAKA Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS). Munitions India Limited (MIL): Tasked with providing High Explosive Pre-Fragmented (HEPF) Mk-1 (Enhanced) rockets for the same MLRS. Bharat…

Indian Researchers have developed advanced hybrid materials that emulate the function of biological synapses, potentially revolutionizing computing technologies. These artificial synapses mimic the brain’s neural connections, enabling more efficient and adaptable computing systems.   Neuromorphic computing, inspired by the brain’s architecture, aims to create systems that replicate neural processes. Artificial synapses are crucial components in this field, as they facilitate the transmission of signals between artificial neurons, similar to their biological counterparts. Recent advancements in hybrid materials have led to the development of these brain-mimicking artificial synapses, which could significantly…
