*🛡️Lord Curzon*
♟️The Bardhaman municipality, West Bengal has decided to erect a statue of an erstwhile maharaja in front of the landmark Curzon Gate in the city.
*💎About Curzon*
♟️He served as Under-Secretary of State for India (1891-1892), and for Foreign Affairs (1895-1898), before being appointed Viceroy of India in 1899.
♟️Of all the Viceroys of India, Curzon is possibly the most criticised — he is the man who partitioned Bengal in 1905, and triggered a wave of Bengali nationalism that contributed to the wider Indian national movement. He was also one of the more openly imperialist of viceroys, and a man who saw Britain’s rule over India as critical to the survival of the empire.
♟️In 1900, Curzon famously stated, “We could lose all our [white settlement] dominions and still survive, but if we lost India, our sun would sink to its setting.”
*💎Reforms by Lord Curzon*
*♟️Educational* Curzon brought in the Indian Universities Act of 1904,which brought all the universities in India under the control of the government.
*♟️Scientific* The Agriculture Research Institute in Pusa (Bihar – Bengal Presidency) was established.
*♟️Administrative* He instituted a Police Commission in 1902 under the chairmanship of Sir Andrew Frazer.
♟️During the Curzon regime, the Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP) was established which covered roughly the areas of the upper course of the River Indus.
*♟️Military* Imperial cadet corpswas set up which became an instrument for the Indianisation of the army later.

Superconductivity
✅ Discovered by Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (1911)
✅ Property of certain materials to conduct direct current (DC) with zero electrical resistance when cooled below a critical temperature (Tc)
✅ Tc (Critical Temperature): Temperature at which material becomes superconducting
📍 Key Properties
✅ Zero Electrical Resistance: No energy loss during current flow → extremely efficient power transmission
✅ Meissner Effect: Complete expulsion of magnetic field from inside the superconductor (perfect diamagnetism)
📍 Applications
✅ Medical: MRI machines (strong stable magnetic fields)
✅ Science: Particle accelerators like LHC
✅ Transport: Maglev trains (magnetic levitation → frictionless movement)
✅ Energy: High-efficiency power cables & storage
✅ Technology: Quantum computing & advanced sensors
📍 Significance of New Research
➡️ Moving towards higher-temperature superconductivity reduces cooling cost
➡️ Enhances feasibility of large-scale real-world applications
