********** 😎😎 ISRO Made Everyone In India Insanely Proud !!!!!!! ********** 😎😎

While most of India slept, ISRO's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle or PSLV blasted off into space from Sriharikota off the coast of Andhra Pradesh at 4:04 am today, carrying IRNSS-1I, the eighth satellite for India's homegrown global positioning system. The successful launch came just 14 days after the much larger Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle or GSLV rocket launch on March 29 spelled a setback for the space agency as the Rs. 270 crore GSAT 6A that it was carrying was lost to a systems failure. Thursday's launch created history for ISRO, becoming the fastest back-to-back launch in the agency's history.

***** R.I.P. Stephen Hawking, world-famous physicist dies at 76 *****😞😞😞
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stephen Hawking, the renowned theoretical physicist and cosmologist, has died at the age of 76.

At the age of 21, Hawking was diagnosed with an early-onset slow-progressing form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). At the time, doctors gave him just two years to live. He survived 55 years, but the condition left him paralyzed. Despite the disability, Hawking continued to teach and publish, emerging as the foremost expert on quantum mechanics. He achieved worldwide fame with his 1988 book, A Brief History of Time, which sold over 10 million copies and spent 237 weeks on the British Sunday Times best-seller list. He subsequently made cameos on popular American television programs including The Simpsons and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Hawking’s life was depicted in the 2014 film The Theory of Everything, for which Eddie Redmayne won an Academy Award for Best Actor.

In 2015, Hawking was announced to appear at the Glastonbury Music Festival, but he was forced to cancel due to poor health.

World’s first ‘solar panel road’ opens in France at Tourouvre-au-Perche in Normandy. The 1 KM road could generate enough electricity to power the street lights. The panels have been covered in a silicon-based resin that allows them to withstand the weight of passing big rigs. As per Colas France could become energy independent by paving only a quarter of its million KMs of roads. Solar panels have become increasingly popular in recent years as cost of operating them has come down significantly, making it cost competitive with traditional energy sources

****** Wireless Power Transmission ******

Wireless power transmission has been a dream since the days when Nikola Tesla imagined a world studded with enormous Tesla coils. But aside from advances in recharging electric toothbrushes, wireless power has so far failed to make significant inroads into consumer-level gear.

What is it? This summer, Intel researchers demonstrated a method--based on MIT research--for throwing electricity a distance of a few feet, without wires and without any dangers to bystanders (well, none that they know about yet). Intel calls the technology a "wireless resonant energy link," and it works by sending a specific, 10-MHz signal through a coil of wire; a similar, nearby coil of wire resonates in tune with the frequency, causing electrons to flow through that coil too. Though the design is primitive, it can light up a 60-watt bulb with 70 percent efficiency.

******-----------3D Printed Car ----------******
*******************************************
The latest technology inventions in 3d printing
are rapidly changing how things are being made.
It's an emerging technology that is an alternative
to the traditional tooling and machining
processes used in manufacturing.
At the International Manufacturing Technology
Show in Chicago, a little known Arizona-based
car maker created a media sensation by
manufacturing a car at the show.
It was a full scale, fully functional car that was
3d printed in 44 hours and assembled in 2 days.
The video below shows the car being made.
The car is called a "Strati", Italian for layers, so
named by it's automotive designer Michele Anoè
because the entire structure of the car is made
from layers of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
(A.B.S.) with reinforced carbon fiber into a
single unit.
The average car has more than 20,000 parts but
this latest technology reduces the number of
parts to 40 including all the mechanical
components.
“The goal here is to get the number of parts
down, and to drop the tooling costs to almost
zero.” said John B. Rogers Jr., chief executive
of Local Motors, a Princeton and Harvard-
educated U.S. Marine.
“Cars are ridiculously complex,“ he added,
referring to the thousands of bits and pieces that
are sourced, assembled and connected to make
a vehicle.
"It's potentially a huge deal," said Jay Baron,
president of the Center for Automotive Research,
noting that the material science and technology
used by Local Motors is derived from their
partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy’s
Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at the Oak
Ridge National Laboratory in Oak
Ridge,Tennessee.
This technology can use a variety of metal,
plastic or composite materials to manufacture
anything in intricate detail.

$$$$$$ Magnetic 'MoonWalker' Shoes Help You Defy
Gravity $$$$$$

Have you ever fantasized about walking on the
moon, but you don't want to put on a spacesuit
and blast more than 200,000 miles (322,000
kilometers) through space? A New York-based
startup plans to turn this lunar fantasy into a
reality, and it could be as simple as putting on a
pair of magnetic loafers.
Moonshine Crea, the company developing the
out-of-this-world footwear, is strategically
inserting superpowerful magnets at the base of
its shoes to create a force field, leaving wearers
light on their feet.
The shoe, named "20:16 MoonWalker," relies on
N45 neodymium magnets, which are among the
most powerful permanent magnets known. As
permanent magnets, they create their own force
field, without an external current, and work like
refrigerator magnets. [11 Outdoor Gifts for
Exploring Our Amazing Planet ]
"There are different levels of magnets, like N40,
42 and 45," said Patrick Jreijiri, a mechanical
engineer and designer for the 20:16
MoonWalker. The neodymium magnets' strength
level depends on their exact composition, which
is primarily a mix of neodymium, iron and boron.

_+_+_+ Ultra-Fast 'Hyperloop' Train Gets Test Track in California _+_+_+

The "Hyperloop," a hypothetical high-speed transportation system that could shuttle people between Los Angeles and San Francisco in only 30 minutes, just sped a bit closer to reality.

First proposed in 2013 by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, the Hyperloop would transport passengers in floating pods inside low-pressure tubes at speeds of more than 750 mph (1,200 km/h).

Now, the company Hyperloop Transportation Technologies Inc. (which is not affiliated with Musk or Tesla) has inked a deal with landowners in central California to build the world's first Hyperloop test track, according to market research firm Navigant Research. The 5-mile (8 km) test track will be built along California's Interstate 5.

Researchers are developing a revolutionary new technology that puts the mobile phone on the palm of your hand — literally. Using a special camera that combines high-speed vision and two rotational mirrors, Masatoshi Ishikawa and colleagues at the University of Tokyo have found a way to project a device's display or keyboard onto the palm or any other surface, so that one can operate it remotely at home or office.

The system can detect the movement of a 3D object every two milliseconds, Ishikawa said. The high-speed vision allows the programme to track moving objects, so that users would be free to walk with the phone image on their palm, without the display ever shifting, ABC News reported.

The computer system beams ultrasonic wave emitters, so users actually feels the keyboard pressing against their skin, without anything in their hand. The sensation is simiar to holding a 3 gramme object. "You won't need a keyboard , you won't need to carry a smartphone, or a computer. You can make a call without anything," Ishikawa said.

Ishikawa expects the technology to turn into a reality in a year or two.

The 'palm phone' is the latest in a string of systems that Ishikawa has developed using high-speed vision technology. Last year, the Japanese researcher unveiled a robotic hand designed to win the game rock-paper-scissors 100% of the time.

1,000 Alien Planets! NASA's Kepler Space
Telescope Hits Big Milestone..!!!

NASA's Kepler spacecraft has discovered its
1,000th alien planet, further cementing the
prolific exoplanet-hunting mission's status as
a space-science legend.
Kepler reached the milestone (Jan. 6)
with the announcement of eight newly
confirmed exoplanets, bringing the mission's
current alien world tally to 1,004. Kepler has
found more than half of all
known exoplanets to date, and the numbers
will keep rolling in: The telescope has also
spotted 3,200 additional planet candidates,
and about 90 percent of them should end up
being confirmed, mission scientists say.
Furthermore, a number of these future finds
are likely to be small, rocky worlds with
temperate, relatively hospitable surface
conditions — in other worlds, planets a lot
like Earth. (In fact, at least two of the newly
confirmed eight Kepler planets — which were
announced in Seattle during the annual winter meeting of the American Astronomical
Society — appear to meet that description, mission team members said.)
