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...

Neuromorphic Device: Indian Scientists Develop Innovative Pain-Sensing Technology

By
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 ...

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...
