नई दिल्ली, 14 जनवरी (इंडिया साइंस वायर): विशालकाय तारों में महा-विस्फोट (सुपरनोवा) को लेकर भारतीय वैज्ञानिकों के एक ताजा अध्ययन में कई महत्वपूर्ण जानकारियां सामने आयी हैं। खगोल-विज्ञानियों की एक आम धारणा है कि तारों के जीवनकाल के अंत में होने वाले सुपरनोवा विस्फोट में न्यूट्रिनो के सिर्फ दो रूपों की भूमिका होती है। लेकिन, एक नये अध्ययन में पता चला है कि सुपरनोवा में न्यूट्रिनो के तीनों रूप या फ्लेवर महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं। वैज्ञानिकों का कहना है कि ये तथ्य सुपरनोवा में न्यूट्रिनों के सिर्फ दो रूपों की भूमिका पर केंद्रित आम धारणा के विपरीत हैं। शोधकर्ताओं का कहना है कि ये तथ्य विशालकाय तारों के अंत को बेहतर ढंग से समझने में उपयोगी हो सकते हैं। भारतीय प्रौद्योगिकी संस्थान (आईआईटी), गुवाहाटी, मैक्स प्लैंक इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ फिजिक्स, जर्मनी और नॉर्थवेस्टर्न विश्वविद्यालय, अमेरिका के...

Massive irregularities in respect of Credit Cards should be effectively curbed

Massive irregularities in respect of Credit Cards should be effectively curbed

BREAKING NEWS, CURRENT ISSUE, EXCLUSIVE NEWS
Union government and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) should take note of malpractices of Banks in respect of credit-cards. Arguments put by Banks to have extra-ordinary interest-rate to overcome heavy cost in credit-card operation is in itself confessional for giving banks permission to levy hidden charges to befool customers. Banks can instead levy charges on issuing and transactions made through credit-cards. Even credit-card statements are designed in a manner like Minimum-Amount-Due to befool customers that they put themselves in heavy dose of interest-rate. Banks also resort to malpractice by deliberately not sending credit-cards statements to make customers defaulters forcing them to pay heavy interest-dose apart from penalty. Any shortfall in payment attracts penalty and interest on ...

Coastal India to witness unprecedented job loss due to heat stress

Uncategorized
New Delhi, Jan 13 (India Science Wire): In a recently published study in the journal Nature Scientific Reports, it is estimated that there would be a decline of 35% in work performance in the east coast region of India by 2100 due to heat stress caused by extreme heat and humidity.

अमेरिका के राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रंप की जैसी दुर्दशा आज हो रही है, किसी भी अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति की कभी नहीं हुई। ऐसा नहीं है कि ढाई सौ साल के इतिहास में किसी अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति पर कभी महाभियोग चला ही नहीं। ट्रंप के पहले तीन राष्ट्रपतियों पर महाभियोग चले हैं। 1865 में एंड्रू जॉनसन पर, 1974 में रिचर्ड निक्सन पर और 1998 में बिल क्लिंटन पर! इन तीनों राष्ट्रपतियों पर जो आरोप लगे थे, उनके मुकाबले ट्रंप पर जो आरोप लगा है, वह अत्यधिक गंभीर है। ट्रंप पर राष्ट्रद्रोह या तख्ता-पलट या बगावत का आरोप लगा है। अमेरिकी संसद (कांग्रेस) के निम्न सदन-- प्रतिनिधि सदन-- ने ट्रंप के विरोध में 205 के मुकाबले 223 वोटों से जो महाभियोग का प्रस्ताव पारित किया है, वह अमेरिकी संविधान, लोकतंत्र की भावना और शांति-भंग के सुनियोजित षड़यंत्र का आरोप ट्रंप पर लगा रहा है। ट्रंप अब अमेरिका के संवैधानिक इतिहास में ऐसे पहले खलनायक क...
