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...
Neuromorphic Device: Indian Scientists Develop Innovative Pain-Sensing Technology Introduction: Indian scientists have developed a neuromorphic device inspired by how the human body senses, responds to, and adapts to pain. This advancement holds the potential to revolutionize wearable technology and improve human-machine interactions. What is a Neuromorphic Device? A neuromorphic device mimics the human nervous system’s functions. Specifically, it replicates the role of nociceptors —special sensors in the human body that detect and respond to pain. When exposed to harmful stimuli, nociceptors trigger pain responses, helping the body react to dangerous situations. Habituation Process and Neuromorphic Functionality: Habituation in Humans: The body undergoes habituation with repeated exposure to the same pain-causing stimuli. Over time, the intensity of the pain felt decreases, allowing the body to tolerate certain stimuli better. Neuromorphic Devices: These devices simulate this ...
