Born:  September 15, 1860 Died:  April 14, 1962 Achievements:  Architect of Krishnarajasagar Dam; devised steel doors to stop the wasteful flow of water in dams; honored with Bharat Ratna. Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya was an eminent engineer and statesman and played a key role in building of modern India. Sir M. Visvesvaraya was born on September 15, 1860 in Muddenahalli village in the Kolar district of the erstwhile princely state of Mysore (present day Karnataka).

He got some assistance from the Government of Mysore and joined the Science College in Poona to study Engineering. In 1883 he ranked first in the L.C.E. and the F.C.E. Examinations (equivalent to B.

Born:  November 30, 1858 Died:  November 23, 1937 Achievements:  He was the first to prove that plants too have feelings. He invented wireless telegraphy a year before Marconi patented his invention. Jagdish Chandra Bose was an eminent Indian scientist. He was the first to prove that plants and metals too have feelings. Jagdish Chandra Bose was born on November 30, 1858 in Mymensingh (now in Bangladesh). His father Bhagabanchandra Bose was a Deputy Magistrate. Jagadish Chandra Bose had his early education in village school in Bengal medium. In 1869, Jagadish Chandra Bose was sent to Calcutta to learn English and was educated at St.Xavier's School and College. He was a brilliant student. He passed the B.A. in physical sciences in 1879. In 1880, Jagdishchandra Bose went to England. He studied medicine at London University, England, for a year but gave it up because of his own ill health. Within a year he moved to Cambridge to take up a scholarship to s

Born:  October 30, 1909 Died:  January 24, 1966 Achievements:  Founded Tata Institute of Fundamental Research; was the first chairman of India's Atomic Energy Commission; was chairman of the first United Nations Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, held in Geneva in 1955. Homi Bhabha, whose full name was Homi Jehnagir Bhabha, was a famous Indian atomic scientist. In Independent India, Homi Jehnagir Bhabha, with the support of Jawaharlal Nehru, laid the foundation of a scientific establishment and was responsible for the creation of two premier institutions, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. Homi Bhabha was the first chairman of India's Atomic Energy Commission. Homi Jehangir Bhabha was born on October 30, 1909, in Bombay in a rich Parsi family. After graduating from Elphinstone College and the Royal Institute of Science in Bombay, he went to Cambridge University. He received his doctorate in 1934. During this p

'Total Earth blackout' due to alignment of Universe- NASA moves to shed light on rumours!! Rumours are rife that the Sun itself will be totally blacked out by an 'alignment' of the Universe causing those who are easily led astray to hyperventilate about doomsday - using NASA's own data! The truth is far from that. Here is a mythbuster straight from NASA's Francis Reddy. Thick dust clouds block our night-time view of the Milky Way, creating what is sometimes called the Dark Rift. The fact that -- from the viewpoint of Earth -- the sun aligns with these clouds, or the galactic center, near the winter solstice is no cause for concern. Credit: A. Fujii One of the most bizarre theories about 2012 has built up with very little attention to facts. This idea holds that a cosmic alignment of the sun, Earth, the center of our galaxy -- or perhaps the galaxy's thick dust clouds -- on the winter solstice could for some unknown reason lead to destruction. Such alig

using this kind of the solar powered boat or the ships we can able to save the fuel and protect the atmosphere from pollution and global warming.   But there should be a large batteries that are capable enough to supply the power to the high torque motors and to drive the propellers at a required speed to reach the destination and on the other side we have to keep in mind that the time  to reach to the destination is also an important thing that satisfies the travelers.  So the scientist are improving the solar  panels in which a way that the panel can able to grasp the heat from the atmosphere and convert the heat into the direct current [DC].In order to make that scientists are using the nano technology to decrease the size of each crystal fine pill to compress the size of the panel and increase the life and efficiency of the solar panel  because the solar panel is kept in the open atmosphere and it should be capable enough to resist the different outer atmospheric conditi

Scientists have created the smallest petrol engine in the world ( less than a centimeter long not even half an inch ), small enough to power a watch or any small gadget. The mini-motor, which runs for two years on a single squirt of lighter fuel, is set to revolutionize world technology. It generates 700 times more energy than a conventional battery. It could be used to operate laptops and mobile phones for months doing away with the need for charging. Experts believe it could be phasing out batteries in such items within just six years. The engine, minute enough to be balanced on a fingertip, has been produced by engineers at the University of Birmingham.
