Introduction: A Nuclear Vision for Viksit Bharat@2047 As India marches toward its ambitious goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, energy security stands as a pivotal pillar in the vision of Viksit Bharat . Amid the global climate crisis and rising energy demands, nuclear power has re-emerged as a compelling solution. India’s commitment to achieving 100 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2047 is both visionary and necessary—but achieving this requires a strategic shift in policy, participation, and international cooperation. While India’s nuclear energy sector has traditionally been a tightly controlled domain under government monopoly—primarily led by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) —it is now imperative to welcome private sector investments and foreign partnerships. A reformed nuclear ecosystem can unlock the full potential of atomic energy as a clean, reliable, and scalable contributor to India’s net-zero aspiration...
Nanopore Technology: Revolutionizing Disease Diagnosis and Real-Time Genetic Sequencing

Content
Introduction:
Scientists have developed a nanopore-based tool capable of diagnosing illnesses with greater speed and precision by analyzing molecular signals in real time.What is Nanopore Technology?
- Refers to nano-scale holes embedded in thin membranes that detect potential changes as charged biological molecules (e.g., DNA or RNA) pass through these holes.
- It allows direct sequencing of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from biological samples without complex preparation.
How It Works:
- Biological molecules passing through the nanopore cause changes in the electrical signal.
- These signals are analyzed to determine the molecular structure or genetic sequence.
Applications:
- Genetic Sequencing: Enables fast, real-time DNA/RNA sequencing for genetic research and clinical diagnostics.
- Disease Marker Detection: Detects biomarkers associated with diseases at an early stage.
- Cancer Diagnosis: Aids in non-invasive early diagnosis of cancer by identifying circulating tumor DNA.
- Infectious Disease Monitoring: Enables rapid pathogen identification, crucial for outbreak control.
Advantages:
- Faster, real-time diagnostics.
- High precision with minimal sample preparation.
- Non-invasive and cost-effective.
Nanopore technology is a promising tool for revolutionizing disease diagnosis and genetic research.
