Artificial microplastics have been discovered by scientists near the South Pole


- Antarctic animals and sea birds can inhale them

New delhi date. 28 November 2022, Monday

Plastic pollution in the Antarctic is now as bad as anywhere on Earth. Scientists have found artificial microplastics in air, seawater, sediment and ice near the South Pole. The Oxford University team found microplastics in air, seawater and sea ice in the Waddell Sea near the South Pole. This is a form of fibrous polyester, which originates from fabrics made from synthetic materials such as polyester and acrylic. Most of the microfibers were found in air samples, meaning Antarctic animals and seabirds could have inhaled them.

NASA will investigate pollution spreading from Earth into space

Image
Washington, Dt. 20 July 2022 Wednesday Each year, more than 1 billion metric tons of dust and sand are blown into the atmosphere by fast winds. Scientists know that dust affects the environment and climate, but they don't currently have enough data to determine what effect this has or what might happen in the future. For this recently SpaceX Dragon spacecraft has been launched at the International Space Station. Hereby NASA has sent the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation Device. Which will help the scientists in this matter. EMIT's state-of-the-art imaging spectrometer is built by the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. The spectrometer will measure more than a billion dust particles around the world over the course of a year. EMIT is going to do a lot of important work by going into space. This will identify the composition of mineral dust from arid regions of the Earth. Desert areas generate the most mineral dust, which is released ...

5G will be launched in the country from Gandhinagar: PM Modi will inaugurate

Image
Ahmedabad. 21 July 2022, Thursday The fifth generation (5G) services, which are capable of the fastest data transfer in mobile services, will be launched in Gujarat's capital Gandhinagar in the country. It is known that these services will be dedicated to the country by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and will start on August 15 when the country is completing 75 years of independence. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to come to Gujarat after the Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort and start the services. The auction of spectrum for 5G services in the country is set to begin this week and the Adani group has also shown interest in bidding in addition to Reliance Jio, Vodafone Idea and Airtel. However, Adani has announced that this spectrum purchase is only for providing enterprise services, so customers will only get services from three companies. Before the launch, testing of 5G services in Gujarat took place in Gandhinagar, Jamnagar and Vadodara. Tests were cond...

Keep this in mind while backing up data in WhatsApp...

Image
Have you turned on the setting to back up your data in WhatsApp ? This setting is useful. But one of the safety features can be inconvenient at times. Let us know both what is the convenience and what is the inconvenience. You must know that WhatsApp takes a local backup of our data every night at two o'clock. Along with that we can also backup our WhatsApp data in our Google Drive account. For backup to drive we can choose any one of five options: 1. Never backup to a drive 2. Backup is taken only when we click the backup button ourselves 3. Backup is done daily when internet connection is available 4. Backup is done once every week 5. Backed up every month While doing this setting we have to tell our Google account. Along with that, we can decide whether to backup the mobile data or not and also decide whether to backup the videos in WhatsApp. We cannot see WhatsApp data by going to our Google Drive account because this data is visible only in WhatsApp app. Because of...

In a first in history, NASA lost contact with the ISS in a power outage, leaving scientists confused.

Image
This was the first time such a situation had occurred at NASA headquarters due to which NASA lost contact with the space station. As it turned out, the power went out at NASA's headquarters in Houston, although power failures are not uncommon in America. It is also a place from where scientific research is going on from all over the world. Because of this, the International Space Station lost contact with NASA and this was not a matter of one or two minutes but there was no contact with it for one and a half hours. This is the first time in the history of communication between NASA and the space station. This is the first time such an event has occurred in history The space station first became fully operational in 2009. Since then, this kind of situation has never happened. NASA has a power backup at its headquarters. There is a complete backup control system to communicate with the astronauts on the space station orbiting above 450 km. This contact was lost for 90 minutes Th...

Now contactless fingerprint system for Aadhaar

Image
Currently, when we want to unlock the smartphone, depending on the model of the phone, we have to touch the power button on the back of the phone or on the screen on the front or elsewhere with our thumb or other finger. Similarly, when we want to prove our identity with the help of Aadhaar system in various places, we have to put our thumb or other finger on a small device connected by wire to the phone or computer. Touch has so far been important in the use of fingerprints. But now the exercise of removing touch from the whole thing has begun. The Unique Identification Authority of India, which administers the Aadhaar system in India, and the Indian Institute of Technology , Bombay, have jointly started an effort to develop a contactless fingerprint biometric capture system (a lot of work has been done in this direction in other countries as well). This system will capture fingerprints of multiple fingers for greater accuracy. In the long run, this technology will be added to com...

NISAR mission: ISRO-NASA's joint space mission to combat climate change, know when the launch will take place

Image
NASA-ISRO radar mission: ISRO and NASA are currently working on a joint space mission, NISAR. This mission is an Earth-observation radar mission. It is being said that this radar mission could prove to be very important in combating climate change. This radar provides information on the impact of forests and wetlands on the global carbon cycle and how it is contributing to climate change. NASA gave important information Recently there has been an update regarding the launch of NISAR. This mission will be launched at the beginning of next year i.e. in 2024. This mission Our forests and wetlands are vital in combating climate change. The NISAR radar mission will be launched into Earth orbit to analyze Earth and glaciers every 12 days. This data will help scientists understand how important forests and wetlands are in regulating carbon in the environment. This information has been given by NASA. World's most expensive earth observation satellite This satellite is one that will se...

The rat meat tissue sent to the space station became stronger

Image
Washington, September 8, 2020, Tuesday As many as 40 black rats were sent to the space station in December last year to find out how astronauts go on long-term space missions to affect their muscles and body. Has become. The experiment was performed by a research team at the Jackson Laboratory in Connecticut. According to a study published in a science journal, the rats were not given any regular medication. In the non-gravitational position, muscle and bone mass decreased by 15%. Scientists also sent six genetically modified mice into space, which were considered to be Mighty Mice. Not only did these mighty rats lose weight but their muscles doubled. Eight normal rats that were given the medicine of mighty rats in space. They also developed a lot of muscle. The weight of these muscles was controlled by a protein. The Space X capsule brought back all 40 rats that had been parachuted into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. If some normal rats were given potent rats, th...
