Saudi Arabia have introduced NESCOD, a new passive cooling technology. This innovative system addresses the rising global need for cooling solutions without depending on energy-consuming air conditioners. Mechanically, NESCOD leverages the thermodynamic properties of endothermic dissolution to offer an eco-friendly alternative for communities that are off the grid or in very hot areas. It captures solar energy and stores it for later use in cooling, marking a big step forward in environmental engineering. This system can eliminate specific cooling-related electricity costs and provides a scalable way to lessen the environmental damage caused by traditional cooling systems as our planet gets warmer. By optimising radiative heat transfer and material efficiency, NESCOD establishes a resilient framework for sustainable refrigeration. NESCOD's decentralised approach offers a transformative solution for food preservation and human comfort, bridging the gap between extreme climate challe...

Philosophy describes poetry as the intense distillation of emotion, a "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings", and "the rhythmical creation of beauty". It is often viewed as a way to find truth, as a "search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown" and a "mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted". Art can't be described in words it's just felt with the warmth of emotions sometimes overwhelming with happiness or sourness of experiences. Poetry describes the emotions that are unsaid. Poetry does the miracles and "roars out of you". Poetry, often in its versatile style, is known for bringing clarity and vivid imagery to the reader's mind. Fine and refine goes with pace,  Emotion often lost and fades,, Creativity and senses still lasts, Words can do the miracles, Poetry gives wings of being practical,, Sometimes music rhymes with the situations and sometimes our emotions yet what persists is the lon...

Fungi are a very diverse groups of organisms encompassing a wide range of life forms, from single celled to very complex multicellular organisms. They can be microscopic or present large fruiting bodies with underground systems that extend for miles or even hectares. About 100,000 species have already been identified, but scientists estimate a vast number of species are yet to be cataloged, with the total number ranging from 0.8 to 3.8 million species. Some species can be detrimental to humans, animals and plants, such as mildews, canker, ringworm or thrush. However, due to its vast diversity, fungi occupy different niches in nature and are responsible for important ecosystem services, which benefit humans and the overall ecosystem. Benefits of fungi  Fungi are an important part of soil biodiversity, and this diverse group of organisms can help tackle global challenges, including climate change and hunger. Fungi are closely interlinked with vegetation and carbon and nutrient cyclin...

The world is currently caught between two compounding crises: the production of over 460 million tonnes of plastic waste each year and the urgent need to move away from fossil fuels. As millions of tonnes of debris pollute global ecosystems, the urgency of the climate mission has turned plastic from an environmental burden into a potential catalyst for the clean energy transition. Some recent studies suggest that plastic’s rich chemical makeup — loaded with carbon and hydrogen — makes it an ideal candidate for conversion into clean energy. “Plastic is often seen as a major environmental problem, but it also represents a significant opportunity. If we can efficiently convert waste plastics into clean fuels using sunlight, we can address pollution and energy challenges at the same time,”. Solar-powered plastic conversion Plastics are essentially long chains of carbon and hydrogen. Using specialized photocatalyst materials that wake up when hit by light, the team can snap those chains...

Traditional coal-fired power generation is typically associated with high pollution levels, significant carbon emissions, and relatively low efficiency. However, a new approach to coal-based electricity production is challenging the long-standing perception by removing combustion from the process altogether.  Instead of burning coal, the system converts its chemical energy directly into electricity, avoiding the release of carbon dioxide that normally defines its environmental impact. China developed what they describe as a zero-carbon-emission direct coal fuel cell (ZC-DCFC).  The concept effectively reframes coal as an electrochemical energy source rather than a fuel to be burned, potentially opening a new pathway for cleaner utilization of fossil resources. Coal fuel cell design removes need for steam cycle or combustion  Rather than being burned, coal in this system undergoes a multi-step preparation process before it is used for electricity generation. It is first pu...

Time to re-start and re-think, enough of thinking about the others feelings, emotions and comfort while least about your own choices, solaces and ambitions. It's literally very easy to state the quote live on your terms yet how bold statement is this and how difficult is to live on this term is beyond imagination. Bhagwat Geeta ji states that do concentrate on your own deeds instead of focusing on others (सर्वं परवशं दुःखं सर्वमात्मवशं सुखम्। एतद्विद्यात्समासेन लक्षणं सुखदुःखयोः।।) On contrary, most interesting thing is to accomplish the complexities in life.  Time to reimagine, Keep priorities over sin,, Staying happy is the target 🎯, Relax, chill, breathe and forget,, Struggle is life and life is tiring, Yet enjoy it by worth singing,, Value yourself not to hurt anyone, Endeavour everything but expect none,, There is one rule to achieve the foundation of living for the happiness of yourself that doesn't affect much others and obviously helps you in earning taste of your own ...

Humans are the only thankless species that destroys own foundations. We all know how important is nature for our survival yet no space is being left to deteriorate it. When will humans understand the importance of restoring Earth. Slogans, quotes, Earth Day celebration aren't enough, yes significant for recognising the importance but not sufficient. Important is to imbibe this in our thoughts, deeds and generational wealth. Government is equally responsible for the ignorance yet sufferers are the mostly common population.  Fact check  "The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970, and is credited with launching the modern environmental movement. Earth Day is now observed in over 190 countries, making it one of the largest secular observances in the world. The theme for Earth Day 2026 is “Our Power, Our Planet,” the campaign focuses on accelerating clean energy, increasing accountability for environmental damage, and promoting community-scale climate solutions."

In the summer of 2024, Uttar Pradesh did not just face a heatwave — it endured the longest stretch of extreme heat India had recorded since 2010. Temperatures across the state’s plains breached 40°C for an entire month. Across India, more than 44,000 cases of heatstroke were reported, and independent monitors documented hundreds of heat-related deaths that official tallies chose not to count. Uttar Pradesh, home to over 240 million people, is among the ten states with the highest aggregate heat risk in India. Cities such as Kanpur, Varanasi, and Prayagraj — once classified as dry-heat zones — now record humidity levels that compound thermal stress far beyond what temperature readings alone convey. The science of heat stress in the Indo-Gangetic Plain is settled. What remains dangerously unsettled is the governance. Researchers, meteorologists, and public health experts have spent two decades generating data, projections, and warnings. Yet the institutional machinery designed to transla...

Youngest Freedom Fighters of India: Baji Rout is widely recognised as the youngest martyr of the Indian freedom struggle. At just 12 years old, this brave boat boy from Odisha refused to ferry British troops across the Brahmani River to protect his fellow revolutionaries.

“I am ecstatic to win a gold medal for my country in the World Archery Para Series. I won this medal for India due to the hard work of my coach and myself,” said Payal after her remarkable achievement on the international stage. Kuldeep, who lost his mother at the tender age of five, rose above personal tragedy to become a distinguished para-archery coach. Today, he is a guiding force for countless athletes, especially those battling financial hardship or physical disabilities, helping them rediscover hope and purpose through sport. Born in the remote village of Dhanaura Tikri in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat district, Kuldeep’s early life was marked by struggle. A major turning point came when he joined the Indian Army, where he was introduced to archery under the mentorship of Colonel Mohan.  While pursuing his own journey in the sport, Kuldeep discovered a deeper calling to identify and nurture hidden talent from the grassroots. Choosing unconventional training grounds like village la...

A profound shift in botanical research reveals that the massive physical structures of our forests are not ‘built’ from the ground up as previously believed. The physical structure of trees is still stable and has its foundational base in the earth; however, research done by NASA shows there is 95 per cent to 98 per cent of total dry weight of trees made from carbon & oxygen directly from the atmosphere, allowing us to further confirm how through the process of photosynthesis trees are acting as complex filters of the atmosphere to create solid polymeric structures (like wood) by reconfiguring carbon dioxide gas into these rigid solid structures/materials. Based on this biological process, it would appear that trees are really nothing more than ‘solidified air’, and that, while some minerals are needed for a limited number of minerals, their significant structural development is from atmospheric sources rather than underground sources. Discovery finds that trees actuall...

Earth is devastating because of depletion of natural resources. Nature has enough to complete entire generation needs but scares to meet human greed.  Waste nowadays is the new devil that has surrounded Earth in very remorseful manner. Humans have forgotten that we don't have planet B. Instead of rejuvenating our natural resources, heaps of wastages are replacing the hills and garbage to the mountains.  Not much but at least small efforts from each of us is significant to control wastes.  Zero Waste Starts on Your Plate For this year’s International Day of Zero Waste, the focus is on food – what we eat, what we waste, and how we can move towards a more circular future. The world wastes food on a staggering scale. Every year we throw away about 1 billion tonnes of edible food, nearly one-fifth of all food available to consumers. This impacts both people and the environment. Around 60 per cent of food waste happens at the household level. The rest comes mostly from food ser...

New year for us means  January 1st  according to the Gregorian calendar. Whereas, in the ancient Hindu tradition, the beginning of the year is marked by  Hindu Nav Varsh , the start of the  Vikram Samvat calendar . This day falls on  Chaitra Shukla Pratipada , the first day of the bright lunar fortnight in the month of Chaitra. Hindu Nav Varsh is not just a cultural celebration; it represents a  deeply scientific and spiritual understanding of time . The Hindu calendar, developed thousands of years ago by Indian astronomers and sages, is based on a  lunisolar system  that aligns human life with the rhythms of nature, the movement of celestial bodies, and seasonal changes. Across India, this day is celebrated in different forms such as  Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra, Ugadi in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, Cheti Chand by the Sindhi community, and Navreh in Kashmir . Although the names and customs vary, the meaning remains the same:  the beginn...

Education doesn't define the courage it's the willingness and stubbornness that drives force to stand tall against the huge and powerful corporates to benefit the social cause.  Kinkri Devi was a courageous Dalit Indian activist and environmentalist who defied all odds at a period when there was no social media, little press coverage, and little public interest in environmental issues. She was one of those people who had a strong bond with her motherland and the environment. After fighting powerful, politically influential mining giants in her home region, her name and work came to limelight. Kinkri Devi could not read or write, but built a reputation for herself through her dedication to environmental conservation. Kinkri Devi’s tale and her fight against illegal mining offers a lot of lessons for today’s generation. Early life and contributions Kinkri Devi was born in the hamlet of Gathon, in the Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh in 1925. Her father was a Dalit farmer, and...

Through his writings, speeches, and legislative efforts, Dr. Ambedk...

Capt Gopinath launched India's first budget airline in 2003 In the summer of 2005, retired army officer-turned-businessman GR Gopinath announced that he would enable Indians to fly at one rupee or less than a cent. It was an incredulous sales pitch from the founder of the country's first budget airline. Air Deccan, his then two-year-old no-frills airline modelled on European budget carriers like EasyJet and Ryanair, had already made flying affordable to millions of Indians. Capt Gopinath's tickets cost half of what competitors charged. Now his airline introduced "dynamic pricing" where a small number of "early bird" customers could travel at a rupee. Latecomers would pay a higher ticket price, which would still be substantially lower than competitors. Not surprisingly, booking counters were overrun with customers, many of them first-time fliers. Critics howled such pricing methods would wreck the industry. "The one rupee ticket fired the imagination...
