S&T in India: Need for
Synergy
On a comparative study between S&T achievements of
Korea & India, owing to the inward looking government policy of 70s and 80s,
the Indian industry is lagging the Korean economy by almost two decades. The large
size of the country, the governance issues and the diversity has taken its own
toll. Though we have created world-class institutions to plan and implement the
S&T policies, the need of the hour is that of a national synergy and ruthless
implementation.

 Nanotechnology:
World's Smallest Car
Sun, 23 Oct 2005 09:00:00 CDT
http://www.i4u.com/article4437.htmlScientists
at Rice University have built the world's smallest car.
The car has
a length of 3nm and a width of 2nm. It rolls on buckyballs, which consist of 60
atoms pure carbon formed like a sphere.
The movement of the nanocar
is controlled by electrical fields.
Maybe the vision of nano robots cutting
my lawn will become a reality after all. Little nano lawnmowers would drive up
each grass blade and cut it off and keep it at a constant height, that would be
the life.
