Tens of thousands of years ago, an extraordinary chapter in the story of humanity unfolded. Two distinct branches of the human family tree—modern humans and Neanderthals—crossed paths in a meeting that would forever change the genetic makeup of our species.
AI's ability to analyse vast datasets and identify patterns makes it a game-changer for promoting sustainable practices in IT.
The microflora of rivers depends on the degree of pollution and the quality of purification of sewage waters flowing into river beds.
The issue of air pollution is rising in Kolkata. While the city's air quality has not reached the extreme levels like Delhi, it's still on an alarming rise. Considering this situation, can a city like Kolkata (where the AQI is already between 150-200, 'very unhealthy') be safe, or may it face a similar fate to that of Delhi in the near future?
The 42nd meeting of the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) Council was hosted in Kolkata, India on 3-4 December 2024. The meeting was held at the Unified Academic Campus of Bose Institute, making it the council's first meeting to be held outside the FAIR site in Germany.
