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.
The toxic action of pesticides on ants in the treatment of a forest depends on the kind of insecticide, the form of it, and the dose of its application. Bees are killed most frequently when during treatment the pesticides are carried away onto areas with blossoming plants.
Private enterprises and startups hold the key to propelling India’s space sector to claim a larger slice of the global market, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman S Somanath recently stated at a session titled “ISRO’s vision and the rise of India’s space Tech companies” held in Trivandrum, Kerala.
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the automotive landscape, offering significant environmental and economic advantages, from reduced emissions to lower maintenance costs. The global transition toward EVs is accelerating, with nearly 14 million new electric cars registered in 2023 alone, bringing the worldwide total to 40 million, as per the International Energy Agency.
Pathogenicity is the potential capacity of certain species of microbes to cause an infectious process. It is characterised by a complex of pathogenic properties in the microbe formed in the process of the historical development of the struggle for existence and adaptation to parasitic life in plant, animal and human organisms. Pathogenicity is a specific characteristic of pathogenic microbes.
The global Collaborative Robot (cobots) Market size was valued at USD 1.77 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 12.71 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 32.6 per cent from 2024 to 2030.
As the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions accelerates, electric vehicles (EVs) have become central to this transformation. However, the rapid expansion of the EV market presents significant challenges, particularly in managing the growing volume of electronic waste (e-waste).
Some pathogenic microorganisms (bacilli of anthrax, Clostridium perfringens, S. pneumoniae, causative agents of plague and tularaemia) are capable of producing a capsule in animal and human bodies. Certain microorganisms produce capsules in the organism as well as in nutrient media (causative agents of rhinoscleroma, ozaena, and pneumonia).
