BIOMINING
Biomining (or bioleaching) uses microorganisms like bacteria and fungi to extract valuable metals from ores and solid waste. It also refers to the scientific excavation and remediation of old landfill “legacy waste,” separating trash into recyclables, compost, and inert material to reclaim valuable land.
CANINE DISTEMPER VIRUS (CDV)
Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) is a highly contagious, multisystemic, and frequently fatal viral pathogen that primarily affects dogs, ferrets, and various wildlife like raccoons and big cats. It is completely preventable through routine vaccination
STATEMENT
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), an aggressive and high-risk blood cancer.
STATEMENT
Buildings and construction now account for around 37% of global carbon emissions
HIGH-POWER MICROWAVE (HPM) TECHNOLOGY
- High-Power Microwave (HPM) technology refers to Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) that emit focused bursts of electromagnetic energy (from kilowatts to gigawatts) to neutralize electronic threats
- Indian Navy awards ADITI 3.0 contract for HPM system to Tonbo Imaging
JHARIA COALFIELD
- Jharia coalfield is a large coal field located in the east of India in Jharia, Dhanbad, Jharkhand. Jharia represents the largest coal reserves in India
- The fields have suffered a coal bed fire since at least 1916, resulting in 37 millions tons of coal consumed by the fire
PRIMARY AMOEBIC MENINGOENCEPHALITIS (PAM)
Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is a rare but almost universally fatal brain infection caused by the free-living amoeba Naegleria fowleri (often referred to as the “brain-eating amoeba”). The organism lives in warm fresh water (lakes, rivers, and hot springs) and enters the body through the nose.
ULPGM
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has completed the final deliverable configuration development trials of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Launched Precision Guided Missile (ULPGM)-V3 in air-to-ground and air-to-air modes
NATIONAL CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE COASTAL MANAGEMENT (NCSCM)
- National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM) has completed the documentation and Ground-truthing of Maharashtra’s 23,415 wetlands
- The National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM), Chennai is a research institute under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India with a vision to manage the Indian coast in a sustainable manner.
