Technology changes battlefield, robots and flying machines will fight on orders of Indian military officers
All the fields of information technology, mechanical, electronics and engineering have combined to bring revolutionary changes in internal and external security. If military officials and sources of internal security are to be believed then in the coming times, the machines will command war on the command of military officers. The robot soldier will dodge the enemy and his companion robot will destroy the enemy. Not only this, the machine will fly and will launch a suicide attack on the enemy, leaving nothing but smoke and ashes. Sources reveal that in view of future challenges on the front of China, Pakistan,
Denmark to build world’s first energy island in North Sea
On 04 February 2021, Denmark has approved a plan to build the world’s first energy field island in the North Sea. This energy island will produce and store enough green energy to meet the electricity needs of 3 million European homes. This artificial island in the North Sea, which is still in its infancy, will be the size of 18 football fields. It will be connected to hundreds of offshore wind turbines and will supply electricity to homes and green hydrogen for use in aviation, shipping, industry and heavy transportation. The move to build this energy island has been taken
Reliance gets world’s first ‘carbon-neutral’ oil from USA
Reliance has ordered the world’s first consignment of ‘carbon-neutral oil’ from the United States. This step has been taken when this company wants to become a pure zero-carbon company by the year 2035. The US supplier said in a statement that, Reliance has received 2 million barrels consignment. Oxy-Low Carbon Ventures (OLCV), a division of US Oil Major Occidental, gave this carbon-neutral oil to Reliance. Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Company operates the world’s largest single-location oil refining complex in Jamnagar, Gujarat, with a capacity of 68.2 million tonnes per year. The deal marks the energy industry’s first major petroleum shipment, for
Indian Army Will Increase Strength Via Technology In Future
The process of restructuring the army has started, but the biggest change that is going to happen in this is to equip the army with the power of technology rather than human strength in future. For this, the Army has started preparations to move ahead in five areas of new technology. These include Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Quantum Computing, Block Chain and Big Data Analytics. There is research on how these technologies are used in the army. The Army Training Command had conducted a scientific study some time ago that how in future the army can be empowered by equipping them

Scientists made world’s smallest memory device
Researchers have created the world’s smallest memory device. This development could lead to the manufacture of faster, smaller and more energy-efficient electronic chips for consumer electronics and brain-inspired computing. Researchers have also discovered material science that unlocks deep memory storage capabilities for these small devices. This research was recently published in a journal called ‘Nature Nanotechnology’. Its researchers are from the University of Texas, Austin. Scientists have reduced the size of the smallest and thinnest memory storage device by shrinking the cross-section area to just one square nanometer. According to the researchers, they have been able to make this device
