THE DAWN OF A QUANTUM LEAP: NUCLEAR FUSION

-
Image
The term ‘sustainability’ is now no longer a word which finds its seat only in meetings of international summits like COP-26 and Earth summit. It is now an issue so popularized that our actions are subconsciously nursing the wounds of environment. Consequently, one of the biggest agenda of think-tanks world-over, is to find alternatives to fossil fuels, especially in the sector of electricity generation. It has become a common realization that conventional sources of energy like coal, being depleted at an alarming rate, would not sustain the needs of the swiftly growing population in coming generations. Nonconventional sources of energy are in vogue these days. But none comes as a God’s gift. While dams bring innumerable social problems at our palms, wind energy too does not offer a perfect solution. With these uncertainties, wouldn’t it look like a candle in darkness if a source of energy that produces 4 million times as much heat energy as Coal could be used in near future? The power...

  The COVID-19 pandemic has made a deep cut in the human society, economy, and polity. The number of deaths due to the disease are concerning, but the wide reaching impacts of lockdowns and enclosures is more worrisome to the common man. In this extreme crisis, the economic impact is not only grave, but also perturbing. However, few companies have taken the pandemic in their stride and come out unaffected, if not stronger. And the most evident example is Amazon, the world’s largest online retail store and a multinational company. Empty racks and locked doors combined with “COVID-Scare” have compelled a common Indian to turn to the only option: online shopping. While the boons for amazon in the pandemic are enormous, there are significant threats to its future consumer base in India too, perhaps preparing Amazon for a grim future in India. There are myriads of reason for the performance of Amazon since the turn of the decade. To trim them out, two major successes of Amazon in Indi...

FROM PAGES TO SCREENS: RADICAL CHANGE RAVAGING FUTURE

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the education system remained tapped due to lockdown restrictions. But certain advanced technology measures were a breakthrough for the students at their homes. Almost two years into online schooling and digital learning, the ‘craze’ to try out features like web communication services, eBooks, educational applications and other services that remained out of a student’s reach for decades, has died down with children complaining of online classes and widespread decision-making for the re-opening of schools. Books were always the most integral part of schools, and they still are; however, some people of generation Z feel that the future of schools will be learning from computers, simulators, smartboards, with pen and ink being Wi-Fi, and pages being screens. But they don’t realise that the need of the hour is not replacement. It is incorporation. Online services using advanced technological services have inevitably brought to front the problem of mem...

  Importance of Inclusion in Schools   According to the ‘2019: State of the Education Report for India: Children with Disabilities’, released by UNESCO, there are 78,64,636 children with disability in India, of whom only a small fraction has access to quality education in India. There are successive dropouts of children with special needs at each education level. And when the qualitative factors are allowed for, the deep darkness of the well is visible. INTRODUCTION Inclusion is an idea which advocates that quality access of education and extra-academic forums in schools to be provided to all students, including those who have been traditionally excluded from such necessities, like the specially-abled, or linguistic, religious, cultural minorities. It is absolutely essential for schools in India and the world to establish inclusive education, where a significant population of children, eligible for opportunities, are granted their basic rights, which they were denied e...

Human Habitat after Earth

Human race, the Homo sapiens , is the most superior species in the plethora of biodiversity. Its intelligence, wisdom, emotional development, structural and functional complexity, genomic design etc. are only some of the feature for this categorization. The genius of Humans has led to countless, stunning marvel that are continuously transforming the earth to a better future. But, to every silver lining, there is a cloud. These capabilities are used by the sapiens for greed, malice, jealousy, vengeance, vindication, superiority complex and many others, becoming heinous to the mother earth. Space colonization might seem as a good shot for a fictional movie like Interstellar. But our circumstances force us to do so, and we will eventually accomplish the goal. The day the telephone was invented, reports bagged the headlines of newspapers. People were amazed and stunned by this chunk of atoms. “A machine that talks”, was the first reaction of the people. But at this point of time, a phone i...
