Editor's Notes
- Worlds largest concentrated power cell at sous massa dra at morocco,us Use of the plant is it can serve energy to one million electronic house holds (on completetion by 2018) The World Bank through its Clean Technology Fund has partially financed - US 97 million dollars loan. In this plant, sun light is focused or concentrated using mirrors to heat up a liquid mixed with water at around 4000C. CSP is more expensive than photovoltaic solar panels. However, it has advantage of storing of solar energy for nights and cloudy days.
- Google India and Indian Railways’ telecom arm . Mumbai Central - first railway station in India to have free high-speed Wi-Fi Internet facility. Open network –one time password. Initially to be at 100 busiest station, Theb to 400 selectected stations.
- Astronomers have discovered the largest known solar system in the form of gas giant located one trillion kilometres away. This solar system has large planet known as 2MASS J2126-8140that takes nearly a million years to orbit its star. Key facts The newly discovered solar system is 140 times wider than Pluto’s path around our Sun. The planet 2MASS J2126-8140 has mass between 12 and 15 times of Jupiter and is located about 100 light-years away from Earth. Astronomers by using lithium signature have estimated the age of planet somewhere between 10 million and 45 million years old.
- New bio-artificial liver - survive from liver failure Developed by team of researchers from the Shanghai Institute for Biological Sciences. Attached outside a patient’s body. From human fat, skin or other tissues and is reprogrammed into liver cells.
- Phase I- Haldia to Farakka on the Ganges River. Inland Waterway Authority of India (IWAI). Very high frequency (VHF) wireless communication. Used for inland navigation safety and Environmental protection. Connects-Ship-to-Ship collisions - Ship-Bridge collisions - Groundings. Already sucessfully used in Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, China and US. Phase-II in progress.
