1st Edition of International Young Scientist Awards

                CM Basavaraj Bommai releases biography of former ISRO scientist in Bengaluru


     Onto Rocket Ship, a biography of Dr. B.N. Suresh, a renowned former ISRO scientist, was        released on Saturday by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai in Bengaluru.

Dr. Suresh was involved in the development of Indian Launch vehicles like ASLV, PSLV, GSLV and GSLV Mk3 at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) for the last four decades.

The book authored by his son Sunil Suresh tracks Dr. Suresh’s journey from a small village called Hoskare near the town of Koppa to overseeing the development of India’s launch vehicles.

Mr. Bommai on the occasion proposed setting up an authority or a body which uses scientific knowledge that can solve the day to day problems faced by society.

“We should make an authority to interact, follow day to day problems, and use scientific knowledge to solve problems. As head of the State, I am ready to form this society or authority. People working in ISRO and even those who have retired from the space agency should come together,” he said.

He added that Bengaluru is the scientific hub of the country with institutions like ISRO and DRDO and that it is the right place for this authority due to the existing ecosystem.

Does AI pose a threat to sustainable development?

Image
  The 2025 World Economic Forum, being held in Davos from Monday to Friday under the theme " Collaboration for the Intelligent Age ", is expected to foster a spirit of cooperation and optimism in the digital age in a more sustainable way, despite the different positions of the participants and global uncertainties. Three experts share their views on the issue with China Daily. Projected estimates indicate that advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems will necessitate over $1 trillion in investments for cloud and enterprise data center infrastructure within the next five years. The AI infrastructure includes servers equipped with graphics processing units (GPUs) or custom accelerators, dedicated networks, storage solutions and specialized facilities, which are all factors that demand significant capital investment. Therefore, evaluating the scale, potential returns and environmental impact of AI's rapid development and application is essential. The rise of AI will si...

'Our model of cosmology might be broken': New study reveals the universe is expanding too fast for physics to explain

Image
 A recent study has revealed a puzzling discrepancy in our understanding of the universe’s expansion rate, suggesting that our current cosmological models may need a significant overhaul. The crux of the issue lies in the Hubble constant (H₀), a measure of the universe's expansion rate, which appears to differ depending on how it is calculated. For decades, scientists have relied on two primary methods to determine H₀. The first involves observing the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the faint afterglow of the Big Bang, and extrapolating the universe's expansion rate using early-universe physics. The second method uses the local universe, measuring distances to nearby galaxies via "standard candles" like Cepheid variables and Type Ia supernovae. However, these two methods yield conflicting results. The CMB method, based on data from missions like Planck, estimates H₀ to be around 67.4 kilometers per second per megaparsec (km/s/Mpc) . In contrast, local measurements...

Newly discovered asteroid with 100x Hiroshima bomb power may hit Earth in 2032—what are the odds of its impact?

Image
  In December 2024 , astronomers discovered an asteroid named 2024 YR4, estimated to be approximately 60 meters (196 feet) in diameter. Current assessments indicate that this asteroid has a 1 in 43 chance (approximately 2.3%) of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032. If 2024 YR4 were to collide with Earth, the energy released would be substantial, potentially equivalent to 100 times the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb . Such an impact could devastate a metropolitan area, causing significant destruction and loss of life.
