Introduction India, as a rapidly growing global power, has consistently emphasized the development of its defense capabilities to ensure national security and strategic autonomy. Among the various aspects of defense modernization, missile technology has been a cornerstone of India’s military preparedness. Over the past few decades, India has evolved from a missile-importing nation to a…
Introduction India, one of the world’s largest importers of arms, has recognized the strategic necessity of developing indigenous defense technologies to reduce its dependency on foreign suppliers. The pursuit of self-reliance in defense is not merely a matter of economic importance but a vital element of national security, sovereignty, and strategic autonomy. Over the past…
Introduction In an era dominated by space-based technologies, the ability to control and protect space assets has emerged as a critical aspect of national security. Satellites play a central role in communication, navigation, reconnaissance, weather forecasting, and military operations. As such, the development of Anti-Satellite (ASAT) weapons — systems designed to destroy or disable enemy…
India’s journey into space began modestly but has evolved into one of the most ambitious and successful space programs in the developing world. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), established in 1969, has spearheaded India’s rise as a prominent player in space technology, satellite launches, and interplanetary missions. From launching weather satellites to sending missions…
Introduction The transportation industry is undergoing a seismic shift. Driven by the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change, electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining momentum across the globe. Parallelly, the field of additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, is evolving rapidly, offering innovative ways to manufacture goods…
Introduction The aviation sector is one of the fastest-growing contributors to greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. As global air traffic continues to rise, there is an urgent need to develop cleaner alternatives to conventional jet fuel-powered aircraft. One of the most promising solutions is hydrogen-powered aviation. Hydrogen, as an energy carrier, offers the potential for zero-emission…
Introduction Microscopy has long been a foundational tool in biology, materials science, and medical research. Traditional microscopes provide two-dimensional (2D) images of samples. However, the limitations of flat images became apparent in fields where understanding depth and spatial structure was crucial. To overcome this, 3D microscopes were developed — powerful instruments that generate three-dimensional (3D)…
Introduction The global energy landscape is undergoing a transformation, driven by technological advancements, growing electricity demand, and the urgent need to transition toward sustainable energy solutions. Two key innovations at the forefront of this change are smart grids and energy storage. A smart grid is an advanced electricity network that uses digital communication, automation, and…
Introduction Renewable energy is a sustainable and environmentally friendly source of power derived from natural processes that are continuously replenished. Among the most significant renewable energy sources are solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy. These energy sources play a crucial role in reducing dependence on fossil fuels, mitigating climate change, and promoting sustainable development….
Introduction Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an advanced technology designed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from industrial sources and power plants. As global warming and climate change continue to threaten the environment, CCS has emerged as a crucial solution for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions while allowing industries to continue functioning without excessive carbon…
