Muons
Muons and other particles are produced when cosmic rays bombard air particles surrounding the earth.
The muons produced can have positive or negative charge. When a positively charged muon falls through a cloud, it loses energy.

Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum Concrete
Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) Panel known as Rapidwall is a building panel made-up of calcined gypsum plaster, reinforced with glass fibers. The panel was originally developed by FRG Building System Australia and since 1990 is being used for mass scale building construction.
Now, these panels are being produced in India

UMMID
(Unique Methods of Management and treatment of Inherited Disorders)

The Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has started the UMMID(Unique Methods of Management and treatment of Inherited Disorders) Initiative which is designed on the concept of ‘Prevention is better than Cure’.
UMMID aims to create awareness about genetic disorders amongst clinicians to establish molecular diagnostic in hospitals.

Science and Technology of Yoga and Meditation (SATYAM)
A new programme called SATYAM-“Science and Technology of Yoga and Meditation” has been launched by the Ministry of Science and Technology to strengthen research in the areas of yoga and meditation.

Main objective of the programme: To harness knowledge obtained in academic institutions and other related agencies for finding Science & Technology -led solutions that would enable the government to cope with stress and strain associated with fast changing social, economic, environmental and professional circumstances

Polyethylene Terephthalate(PET)
- It is a highly valued packaging material because it is strong yet lightweight, nonreactive, economical, and shatterproof.
- It is a polymer of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.

PAROS
• The Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space (PAROS) is a UN resolution that advocates for a ban on the weaponization of space.

• It was conceived of during the Cold-war era.

• The PAROS resolution acknowledges the limitations of Outer Space Treaty in preventing of an arms race in outer space.

WHAT ARE AWACS?
• Known as ‘eyes in the sky’

• Air-borne radar systems mounted on aircrafts for scanning
and surveillance.

• With a 360-degree span, they are deployed to carry out
surveillance on enemy Air Defence systems and to prepare
an Air Situation Picture useful in aerial combats.

CURRENT FLEET OF AWACS IN IAF

PHALCON
• AWACS procured from Israel
NETRA
• Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) system indigenously developed by DRDO.
• Mounted on an Embraer aircraft was for the 1st time used in an aerial combat by IAF in the Balakot airstrike

BROWN FAT
• Special type of body fat that is activated when we get cold.
• It produces heat to help maintain our body temperature in cold conditions.
• It contains many more mitochondria than does white fat.
• Because of brown fat's ability to burn calories, scientists are looking for ways to exploit its power to help fight obesity

CollabCAD
-jointly launched by Atal Innovation Mission,National Informatics Centre (NIC) and NITI Aayog on April 13, 2020.
-CollabCAD is a digital software system that will help students in creating 3D designs.
-it initiative aims to provide a great platform to students of Atal Tinkering Labs (ATLs) across country to create and modify 3d designs with free flow of creativity and imagination

The hydrogen molecule (H2), which is called “dihydrogen”, is the oldest and simplest molecule in our Universe.

▪️It is found in every star, including the Sun, which draws its energy from the transformation of hydrogen into helium during a thermonuclear reaction.


▪️Hydrogen is found in great quantities on Earth combined with other elements, such as in water and hydrocarbons, but it is barely present in our atmosphere as a gas.

Optical computing is the use of photons in computation.

▪️Photons, effectively massless and incredibly fast, are generated using diodes or lasers. The photons take the place of electrons in more traditional computers and are used to represent the flow of data. Lacking the size limitation of electrons, photon based transistors can be incredibly small which increases potential computing power.

▪️ The need for Optical Computer emerged from the fact that conventional computers are limited by the slow time response of electronic circuits and also the building up of heat damages the electronic
components.

▪️The working principle of Optical Computer is similar to the conventional computer except with some portions that performs functional operations in Optical mode. Photons are generated by LED’s, lasers and a variety of other devices.

▪️ They can be used for encoding the data similar to electrons

Avangard

▪️The Avangard is a nuclear-capable, hypersonic boost-glide vehicle which has been recently deployed by Russia.

▪️The missile is capable of hitting target in excess of 6000 km and can travel at a speed of 20 Mach (20 times the speed of sound).

▪️The missile is capable of carrying nuclear or conventional payloads.
