New Delhi, Dec 17 : Tejas, India's indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), has achieved a major milestone when its prototype landed at Leh air base in the high-altitude Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir.
"Tejas (LCA) programme reached a major milestone when the prototype vehicle PV-3 landed at Leh on December 13 this year at 1326 hours," Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) officials said on Tuesday.
Washington, Dec 17 : Scientists from Imperial College London and the University of Edinburgh have found that tiny crystals found inside bacteria provide a magnetic compass to help them navigate through sediment to find the best food.
They believe that the research may provide vital clues explain biomagnetism - a phenomenon in which some birds, insects and marine life navigate using the magnetic field that encompasses the Earth.
The researchers focused their study on magnetotactic bacteria, which contain chains of magnetic crystals, called magnetosomes. They exist all over the globe, living in lake and pond sediments and in ocean coastal regions.
London, Dec 17 : Scientists have developed a bioelectronic sensor, the size of a postage stamp, which uses cell mitochondria to sniff out bombs and other explosives.
Common explosives detectors are not only expensive, but bulky and complex as well and thus become difficult for use in the field.
However, now the new sensor invented by Shelley Minteer and her colleagues at St Louis University in Missouri might reform the way detection of explosives is conducted.
San Francisco - Microsoft was forced to issue a rare emergency patch Wednesday for its Internet Explorer browser.
The software giant announced the move late Tuesday after numerous security experts advised people to switch to rival browsers until Microsoft fixed the problem.
The recently discovered flaw is considered critical. It allows attackers to take control of computers by steering them to infected websites without the users having to download anything.
Geneva - The year so far has been marked by weather extremes across the planet and low levels of ice in the Arctic Sea, the World Meteorological Organization said Tuesday.
The overall ice volume in the sea during the melt season was the lowest since satellite measurements began in 1979. At the opposite pole, the Antarctic ozone hole was larger than in 2007.
