Isro launches India's first reusable launch vehicle from Sriharikota

The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing that built India's first supercomputer, Param, is handling the project. The government had, in March 2015, approved the plan of the National Supercomputing Mission, under which 80 supercomputers will be built in the next seven years.

India to get new indigenously-built supercomputer next year

One of the measurable characteristics of a beam of light is known as angular momentum. Until now, it was thought that in all forms of light the angular momentum would be a multiple of Planck's constant. But, in the new form of light the angular momentum of each photon takes only half of this value.

'New form of light discovered'

The findings showed that infants exposed to commonly prescribed anti-depressants during two or more trimesters weighed 205 grams less than infants whose mothers were not exposed to any anti-depressants. Also, the birth of such babies would, on an average, take place 4.9 days earlier.

Prenatal exposure to anti-depressants may lower birth weight

Findings have showed that beetles' genitals change shape when mating rates are high as females try to keep males at bay. The conflict over how often mating takes place could lead to males evolving longer penis-like organs and females larger 'claws' on their genitalia, within ten generations.

Too much sex can change genitals shape: Study

After several years of development work, the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) will, on Monday launch the re-usable launch vehicle technology demonstrator (RLV-TD) 70-km from earth and hope to bring it back. A successful test launch, which has been postponed multiple times in the last two-and-a-half years, will go a long way in giving Isro a technology that will reduce the launch cost to one tenth of the present expenditure.

Scientists have identified a 'sunscreen gene' that may help protect against melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Melanoma patients with deficient or mutant copies of the 'UV radiation Resistance Associated Gene' are less protected from harmful ultraviolet rays.

Humans could set foot on Mars within decades if they wanted to, according to the German astronaut who has been tapped to become his country's first commander of the International Space Station. Alexander Gerst said the space station offers a unique opportunity to test the technology needed to explore other planets, especially if its lifetime is extended beyond 2020.

Scientists have created the most detailed map of Mars' gravity using data from 3 Nasa spacecrafts. The new map will be helpful for future Mars exploration, because better knowledge of the planet's gravity anomalies helps mission controllers insert spacecraft more precisely into orbit about Mars.

Humanoid robot works in therapy for children with autism

Scientists have created a robot with artificial intelligence that teaches children with autism to recognise facial expressions in people. Children with autism have special difficulty in expressing emotions, usually have no social skills and face major problems when communicating.

New blood test diagnoses Alzheimer's at initial stage

Scientists have developed a novel blood test that may potentially facilitate the detection of Alzheimer's at an early stage, giving people up to 15 years warning before the condition develops. The novel test can pick up the "tell tale" proteins that characterize the disease.

Milky Way has 58 billion red dwarf stars, study finds

Two astronomy students from Leiden University have for the first time estimated that there are 58 billion dwarf stars in the entire Milky Way Galaxy. This result is the most comprehensive model ever for the distribution of these stars. The findings appear in a new paper in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

New immune mechanism to protect from cancer identified

For the first time, researchers have identified a new innate immunity pathway that protects mammals from viral oncogenesis, the process by which viruses cause normal cells to become cancerous. The discovery is significant and could contribute to development of new cancer therapies, researchers said.

Genes that created complex life on Earth found

One of the ancient genes that enabled evolution of complex life on Earth, breaking out of the primitive mould of single cell life, has been found by researchers at the University of British Columbia. The gene is found in all complex organisms, including plants and animals.
