  Mapping of lunar surface: Extensive mapping of lunar surface to study variation in lunar surface compositions is essential to trace back the origin and evolution of moon. Soft landing: The project will attempt to soft land the lader -vikram abd rover Oragyan in a high plain between two craters. Quest for water: Evidence for … Read more DMPQ-What were the scientific objectives of Chandrayan-2?

 Alternatives to pesticides are available and include methods of cultivation, use of biological pest controls (such as pheromones and microbial pesticides), genetic engineering and methods of interfering with insect breeding.  Application of composted yard waste has also been used as a way of controlling pests. These methods are becoming increasingly popular and are … Read more DMPQ- Indiscriminate use of Pesticides has caused a lot term effect on Human Health. What are the Alternatives to pesticides ?

Conventional breeding, especially of crops, livestock and fish, focuses principally on increased productivity, increased resistance to diseases and pests, and enhanced quality with respect to nutrition and food processing. Advances in cellular genetics and cell biology methods in the 1960s contributed to the so-called ‘green revolution’ that significantly increased varieties of staple food crops containing … Read more DMPQ: Explain the Crop breeding and the introduction of GM crops for food production.

LIDAR is short for Light Detection And Ranging. It’s a more modern (but still pretty old) version of the tried and true radar which is short for Radio Detection And Ranging. Radar uses radio waves to detect objects and determine their range, angle, and/or velocity while lidar does basically the same thing, but with pulsed … Read more DMPQ- What is the difference between LIDAR and RADAR?

.  AVATAR is a single-stage reusable spaceplane capable of horizontal takeoff and landing, being developed by India’s Defense Research and Development Organization along with Indian Space Research Organization and other research institutions; it could be used for cheaper military and civilian satellite launches. According to the Designers, Hyperplane projects of the 1980’s – the X-30, … Read more DMPQ- What is AVATAR (Aerobic vehicle for hypersonic aerospace transportation) ? Discuss it’s signicance in boosting India’s defence.

Yamanaka factors (Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, c-Myc) are highly expressed in embryonic stem (ES) cells, and their over-expression can induce pluripotency in both mouse and human somatic cells, indicating that these factors regulate the developmental signaling network necessary for ES cell pluripotency. However, systemic analysis of the signaling pathways regulated by Yamanaka factors has not yet … Read more DMPQ- What are yamanaka genes. Explain their role in our body.

Quantum Technology is based on the principles of Quantum mechanics, that was developed in the early 20th century to describe nature in the small — at the scale of atoms and elementary particles.The first phase of this revolutionary technology has provided the foundations of our understanding of the physical world, including the interaction of light and … Read more DMPQ-What do you understand by quantum technology?

Fiber optics, or optical fibers, are long, thin strands of carefully drawn glass about the diameter of a human hair. These strands are arranged in bundles called optical cables. We rely on them to transmit light signals over long distances. At the transmitting source, the light signals are encoded with data… the same data you see … Read more DMPQ- What is Optical fibre technology? How do optical fibre works?
