Study shows that Global Tourists are exposed to a greater burden of multi drug-resistant bacteria

Travelers can pick up the bacteria even during short visits and further spread the strains after returning home. International travellers are particularly vulnerable to virulent strains of drug-resistant bacteria – often picking up several different types during a trip through spending time in the company of other tourists, a new study has revealed. The global spread of intestinal multidrug resistant gram-negative (MDR-GN) bacteria poses a serious threat to human health worldwide, with MDR clones of E.coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae threatening more antibiotic resistant infections around the world. Researchers monitored a…

NASA’s Webb Telescope Will Be the World’s Premier Space Science Observatory – Here’s What Those Powerful Capabilities Mean for Astronomy

By SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE INSTITUTE FEBRUARY 25, 2021 This image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope shows the heart of the globular star cluster Messier 92 (M92), one of the oldest and brightest in the Milky Way. The cluster packs roughly 330,000 stars tightly together, and they orbit the center of the galaxy en masse. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will observe M92, or a similar globular cluster, early in its mission to demonstrate its ability to distinguish the light of its individual stars in a densely packed environment. Webb’s high resolution and…

China Outspends Rest of the World on 5G Infrastructure By 2 is to 1 Ratio

When Beijing sets its mind to building new infrastructure, there’s very little that can stop it. That’s the message coming from a top telecom official who was talking up China’s fast-growing 5G network at a major industry event taking place this week in Shanghai. The nation now has more than 718,000 base stations for the cutting-edge communications technology, covering all of its major cities, said Liu Liehong, a vice minister at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). The nation’s huge base station buildup means China is now home…

Online art project takes aim at militarization of robotics offering people to take control of a futuristic sort of weapon

An internet-enabled art installation that launched Wednesday offers a strange proposition: the chance to pilot a $75,000 four-legged robot named Spot that is armed with a paintball gun.  The robot may be familiar to people who have seen various viral videos of similar robots from Boston Dynamics that have offered a sometimes startling glimpse at leaps in robotics technology.  But they haven’t seen it like this.  “Obviously they’ve worked really hard in terms of their marketing team to kind of bridge this association of Spot the dog with cute internet…

CORONAVIRUS CURE VACCINE MAY NEVER BE FOUND FOREVER: REPORTS

We May Never Have a COVID-19 Vaccine and Have to Live With The Disease Forever As per reports, 37 per cent of vaccines fail in the first phase of testing itself. Whereas 69 per cent fail in the second stage. And 42 per cent go futile in the third phase. Only 10 per cent of total vaccines manage to reach the last stage and get approval. Scientists around the world are in continuous fear that we may never be able to produce an effective vaccine against COVID-19 and have to live with…

ISRO hits new Milestone by Putting 8 satellites in single flight

India’s space agency on Monday put eight satellites into two separate orbits in a single flight, a first for the agency as it hit another milestone in its low-cost space mission. The Indian Space Research Organization’s rocket–which took off at just after 9 a.m. local time–first released a weather forecasting satellite of the agency. Soon after, it put seven satellites—three from Algeria, one each from Canada and the U.S., and two from Indian educational institutions—into another orbit. It was the 37th flight for ISRO’s rocket, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle,…

ISRO successfully test fires scramjet rocket engine from Sriharikota

The Indian Space Research Organisation has successfully tested its scramjet engine on Sunday in Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. The rocket took off at 6 am after reports confirmed that the wind speeds were conducive for the launch. The scramjet engine, used only during the atmospheric phase of the rocket’s flight, will help in bringing down the launch cost by reducing the amount of oxidiser to be carried along with the fuel. Meanwhile, the launch of the Indian weather satellite, INSAT-3DR, which was slated for Sunday has now been postponed…
