| Only 15 pc R&D workforce are women: President Kovind
|
| President Ram Nath Kovind on Friday rued the lesser number of women in the area of science and technology and said they comprise only 15 per cent of the workforce in research and development. He also launched three new initiatives for gender advancement and equality in the academic, and research and development institutions of the country. Kovind recalled how women scientists played a critical role in the Indian Space Research Organisation's Mars orbiter mission Mangalyaan and Moon Mission Chandrayaan 2. The president said during his visit to Sriharikota for Chandrayaan-2's launch last year, he came across a woman scientist so dedicated to the project that she left her six-month-old son with her parents and joined the mission. "Despite the presence of such highly motivated women scientists, India's R&D workforce has less than 15 per cent women, compared to the global average of 30 per cent, according to a National Task Force report," Kovind said while addressing a gathering of ...

| HAL hands over 50th set of L-40 stage of GSLV-MKII to ISRO ?
|
| The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) said on Friday it has handed over the 50th L-40 stage of geosynchronous launch vehicle (GSLV-MKII) to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The L-40 stage is meant for GSLV MKII-F12 flight planned by the ISRO in August this year, according to the city- headquartered HAL. The aerospace division of HAL has so far integrated and supplied L-40 stages for 12 flights of GSLV MKII, including the GSLV MKII-F10 flight planned in March first week. "Apart from the integrated L-40 stages, HAL is manufacturing the riveted structures, propellant tanks, feedlines of PSLV, GSLV MKII and GSLV MKIII launch vehicles and structures of various satellites for ISRO," it said in a statement. HAL said it has contributed and participated in almost all of ISRO's ambitious projects including Chandrayaan-I, Chandrayaan-II, Mangalyaan and the upcoming Gaganyaan.

| Startups to play key role in Indian space industry: VSSC
|
| Startups are set to play a bigger role in the production of space systems in the industry 4.0 as exploring commercial opportunities for Indian space sector will be crucial by 2050, S Somnath, Director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), said here on Friday. "Production of rockets through Indian industry will be one of the key changes in 2050. Commercialisation of Indian launch vehicle and satellite capacity will happen in the Industry 4.0 scenario," he said. Somnath was delivering the keynote address on "Industry 4.0 - Impact on Jobs" at TRIMA 2020, the annual convention of Trivandrum Management Association (TMA). Industry 4.0 is the trend towards automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and processes, the Internet of Things (IoT), industrial internet of things (IIOT), cloud computing, cognitive computing and Artificial Intelligence. About 35 startups have already come up in space sector, three of them focused on designing of rockets, 14 in designing

| Electronic structure, doping effect and topological signature in realistic intermetallics Li3−xNaxM (x = 3, 2, 1, 0; M = N, P, As, Sb, Bi)
|
| Topological aspects of electronic structures have received intensive research interest in recent years. Here, we systematically investigate the electronic structure, doping effect and topological signature in a family of realistic compounds Li3−xNaxM (x = 3, 2, 1, 0; M = N, P, As, Sb, Bi). Without considering SOC,
