India’s AMCA Programme Takes Flight: A Stealth Leap into the Future of Air Combat

By
In a major leap toward self-reliance in defense technology, India is set to develop its very own fifth-generation fighter jet—the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) . In a historic move, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has approved an innovative execution model for the indigenous stealth fighter programme. This model brings together Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and private industry players in a competitive framework, marking a significant shift in how India approaches military aviation manufacturing. This bold initiative comes at a critical time, as China has already fielded two fifth-generation fighters , and reports indicate it will supply 40 J-35 stealth jets to Pakistan . Against this backdrop, fast-tracking the AMCA has become an urgent national security imperative. AMCA: India’s Indigenous Stealth Fighter Dream The AMCA project , spearheaded by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) under the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) , received its l...

Nano Bubble Technology: Revolutionary Water Purification and More

By
Nano Bubble Technology: Revolutionary Water Purification and More 1. What are Nano Bubbles? Nano bubbles are tiny bubbles, about 70-120 nanometers in size (about 2,500 times smaller than a grain of salt). These bubbles are invisible to the naked eye and have a strong negative surface charge, which prevents them from merging with other bubbles. 2. How Do Nano Bubbles Work? The negative charge on the bubbles helps separate small particles like oils, grease, and fats from water. Their hydrophobic nature (repelling water) and surface charge allow them to lift dirt and organic matter from surfaces, similar to how soap works. 3. Benefits of Nano Bubble Technology: Purification: Nano bubbles help in water purification by separating impurities and improving oxygenation. Surface Cleaning: They lift both organic (living matter) and inorganic (non-living matter) materials from surfaces without using chemicals. Applications of Nano Bubble Technology Water Purification: Removes pollutants and imp...

Manasvi: IIT Delhi’s Bold Step Toward Empowering High School Girls in STEM

By
In a world increasingly shaped by technological advancement, ensuring gender equality in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is no longer a choice—it’s a necessity. Recognizing this, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi launched a pioneering initiative titled ‘Manasvi’ , a STEM mentorship programme for high school girls . The programme, unveiled in New Delhi today, is spearheaded by the institute’s Academic Outreach and New Initiatives Office . Manasvi is not merely an educational engagement; it is a transformative platform aimed at inspiring and empowering young girls to pursue careers in STEM, fields traditionally dominated by men. At the heart of Manasvi lies the ambition to address the deep-rooted gender disparity in STEM education and careers . Despite producing the largest number of science graduates globally, India continues to see disproportionately low female representation in STEM careers —a statistic that underscores the urgent need for su...

DRDO Successfully Tests Stratospheric Airship Platform: A Leap in India's High-Altitude Defence Technology

By
In a groundbreaking achievement, India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) conducted the maiden flight-trials of its Stratospheric Airship Platform on May 3, 2025. Developed by the Aerial Delivery Research and Development Establishment (ADRDE) in Agra, this high-altitude platform marks a historic milestone in India’s march toward advanced aerospace systems and cutting-edge defence technology . What Is a Stratospheric Airship Platform? A stratospheric airship is a lighter-than-air, unmanned aerial vehicle designed to fly at stratospheric altitudes—typically between 17 to 20 kilometers—well above commercial air traffic and weather disturbances. These airships serve as High-Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS) and are envisioned as persistent platforms for earth observation, telecommunication, disaster management , and most importantly, Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) operations. Unlike traditional satellites, HAPS like the DRDO’s airship offer...

IISc-Developed Zero Bacteria Technology for STPs in Apartments

By
IISc-Developed Zero Bacteria Technology for STPs in Apartments A Game-Changer for Water Quality The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has developed an advanced "Zero Bacteria Technology" (ZBT) to improve water quality in Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) , especially in apartment complexes. This innovation ensures cleaner, bacteria-free treated water , making it safer for reuse. What is Zero Bacteria Technology (ZBT)? A new water purification technique designed to eliminate harmful bacteria in treated sewage water. Uses a chemical-free process , making it environmentally friendly. Developed by scientists at IISc , with applications in residential STPs and industrial wastewater management . Why is ZBT Important for Apartments? Many apartment complexes have their own Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) . Traditional STPs do not fully remove bacteria , leading to health risks when water is reused for gardening, flushing, or groundwater recharge. ZBT ensures bacteria-free treated wa...
