Big things are happening in the world of nuclear energy. Google and Kairos Power have joined forces to build an advanced nuclear reactor. This reactor will be connected to the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) electric grid by 2030. This is a big deal because it's the first time a utility in the U.
The phone industry is changing fast. New tech like cloud computing, smart machines, and special software are making big waves. One person leading this change is Raghavender Reddy Grudhanti. He's helping phone companies use these new tools to work better and serve customers. Phone companies are old.
In recent times, heavy rainfalls have been causing significant problems in the mountainous areas of India and Pakistan. These sudden and intense downpours, known as cloudbursts, have led to flash floods, landslides, and mudflows, resulting in loss of life and destruction of property. In one such in
In South India, the heat is getting worse. Workers are feeling the heat both physically and mentally. This isn't just about sweating more. It's about how the heat messes with their minds. The heat doesn't just make people feel hot. It can make them feel anxious too. This is called climate anxiety.
AI tools are getting better at predicting the weather in the short term. But there's a big difference between predicting the weather for the next few days and predicting climate trends for the next few decades. Some people think AI can solve climate change, but it's not that simple. AI can help pro
Sci-fi writers often come up with ideas that sound far-fetched. Yet, many of these ideas have become real technologies. For example, Arthur C. Clarke suggested satellites that could stay in one spot above Earth. This idea seemed crazy in 1945. But decades later, it became a reality. Today, we call t
