The World UFO Day (WUD)is held onJuly 2every year globally. It is a day dedicated to the undoubted existence ofUnidentified Flying Objects (UFO)by World UFO Day Organization (WUFODO).

WUD aims to raise awareness about the existence of UFOs and encouraging people to think about the possibility of us not being alone in the Universe. The World UFO Day provides an opportunity to these explorers and enthusiasts to discuss, decode, and deduce multiple theories related to UFOs.

Space System Design Lab

The space system design lab was inaugurated recently in Ahmedabad by the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre (IN-SPACe). The Space Systems Design Labs purpose is to help space start-ups turn their innovative ideas into implementable models more quickly, and reduce research and development costs.

The main focus of the IN-SPACe design lab is to enable start-ups in the space sector to build prototypes with the least iterations, thus significantly reducing the turnaround time and research and development costs for start-ups. In turn, this will help non-government entities (NGEs) to play an important part in the development of cutting-edge space technologies.

To achieve its objectives, the IN-SPACe design lab comprises high-end analysis and simulation Software for mission simulation, modeling, visualizing, optimizing payload and spacecraft, ground station, and launch vehicle avionics. The software Resources include Pathwave system design, System Tool Kit, Advance Design Systems, 3D CAD Mach 3, high frequency structure simulation, Simcenter 3D space System (Thermal and cooling), Finite Element analysis structure (FEAST) and OpticStudio (Zemax). They will play a part in mission planning to RF, structural and thermal design and analysis of space systems.

Defence Ministrys Rs 5,400 crore Defence Contract

The Ministry of DEFENCE of India has recently signed three defence contracts with Bharat Electronics Limited (Bel) and NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) on March 29, 2023. The total cost of these three contracts is nearly Rs 5,400 crore. This decision was taken to support the modernization of Indias armed forces and make them more self-sufficient.

Indias First Quantum Computing-based Telecom Network Link Now Operational

Indias first quantum computing-based telecom Network link has been made operational between Sanchar Bhawan and National Informatics Centre office in New Delhi. Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced prize of Rs 10 lakh for ethical hackers who can break the encryption of the system and also launched a hackathon challenge for anyone who can break the system developed by C-DoT, with a reward of Rs 10 lakh per break.

A quantum computing-based telecom network uses the principles of quantum physics to transmit information, providing a more secure method than traditional networks. Quantum Communication relies on quantum mechanics properties, making it hard to intercept or hack the communication. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the telecom Industry by enabling faster, more efficient, and secure communication.

Nevado del Ruiz Volcano

Nevado del Ruiz is a stratovolcano located in the central part of Colombia. It is considered one of the most active and dangerous in the country, with a HISTORY of generating destructive lahars and pyroclastic flows. In this article, we will delve into the facts and information about the Nevado del Ruiz volcano.

Nevado del Ruiz is situated in the Andes mountain range, approximately 129 km (80 mi) from the capital city of Bogot. It is part of the Los Nevados National Natural Park, which is Home to other volcanic peaks and Glaciers. The volcanos composition consists of layers of lava, volcanic ash, and pyroclastic rocks, which have built up over approximately two million years of volcanic activity.

Abdel Fattah al-Sisi: Indias 2023 Republic Day Chief Guest

India has invited Egypt President Fattah al-Sisi as the chief guest on 2023 Republic Day. This makes al-Sisi the first Republic Day Chief Guest after a two-year hiatus caused by the pandemic.

Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who hails from city of el-Gamaliya and raised in an alleyway close to the Jewish quarter of Cairos old city, is a devout Muslim.

New Artificial Photosynthetic System to Capture Solar Energy

Scientists have a novel artificial Light-capturing system that imitates the process of Photosynthesis to effectively capture light to conserve power. This technology addresses various challenges faced while replicating the complex process of photosynthesis as well as the problems associated with light absorbers and transmitters.

The new artificial photosynthetic system makes use of clusters of silver with a nanometer dimension, which is a hundred thousand times smaller than the width of human hair. These silver nanoclusters have complicated and exotic photophysical properties. The researchers were able to stabilize them with bulky ligands and entrap the entire ensemble inside another larger molecule called cyclodextrin.
