Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh plans to increase the government's R&D; spending and create incentives for the private sector to increase spending on science and technology as well.
At the Indian Science Congress last month, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh pledged to hike R&D; expenditures from around $3 billion last year to $8 billion in 2017. The windfall is meant to turbocharge initiatives to create elite research institutions, bring expatriate Indian scientists home, enrich science education, and equip smart …
The country’s nuclear research programme could get a major fillip with the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre proposing to build two new research reactors under the 12th Five Year Plan. The reactors will be used for testing materials for new power plants, radioisotope production and manpower training, among others. “We have …
Chi-b(3), A Boson Like the ‘God Particle’, Sighted By Large Hadron Collider Paris: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), famously engaged in the quest for the Higgs boson, has turned up a heavier variant of a sub-atomic particle first discovered a quarter-century ago, scientists reported on Thursday. The newcomer is called …
Mumbai: India’s top nuke scientist, P K Iyengar, 80, who designed the first atomic bomb which was detonated at Pokhran in 1974, and a staunch opponent of the Indo-US nuclear deal, passed away at the BARC hospital in Trombay at 3.25pm on Wednesday. He became director of BARC in 1984 …
Few scientists are betting against Einstein yet, but the phantom neutrinos of Opera are still eluding explanation. Two months after scientists reported that they had clocked subatomic particles known as neutrinos going faster than the speed of light, to the astonishment and vocal disbelief of most of the world’s physicists, …
New Delhi: Indian engineers will fabricate the world’s largest high-vacuum cold storage vessel for an ambitious international project to generate energy from a process that powers the sun. The vessel called the cryostat will be home to the international thermornuclear experimental reactor, the largest and the most advanced facility of …
An international team of scientists said on Thursday they had recorded sub-atomic particles traveling faster than light -- a finding that could overturn one of Einstein's long-accepted fundamental laws of the universe. Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the researchers, told Reuters that measurements taken over three years showed neutrinos pumped from …
New Delhi: A trial court will now hear on September 29 the chargesheet filed in the Mayapuri radiation leak incident against six Delhi University teachers.

http://telegraphindia.com/1110822/jsp/frontpage/story_14407815.jsp Calcutta, Aug. 21: Manmohan Singh today underlined the importance of “environmentally friendly” nuclear energy in the country’s development four days after the Bengal government officially scrapped a proposed nuclear power project in East Midnapore citing green concerns. “The availability of safe and affordable energy is an important factor in …
The decommissioning of a nuclear power plant is a largescale organizational and technical process comparable in time, financial and labour resources to the building of the unit. Decommissioning reactors will become a major operation over the next 50 years, with far-reaching implications including an increase in the production of radioactive …
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani said on Monday that Pakistan would build more power plants to meet its growing energy needs, asserting that the country
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre has set up a 'virtual' nuclear data physics centre to enable greater visibility of India's research in this area at the global platform. Department of atomic energy and Board of Research in Nuclear Science of the government of India have already sanctioned funds for three years …
A high-level delegation of US officials and nuclear scientists is on a 10-day visit to India to explore ways of cooperation in the atomic energy sector. Representatives from the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), the US administration's key nuclear engineering and science laboratory, are expected to identify nuclear development opportunities and …
The Indian government has barred a group of nuclear scientists from meeting in New Delhi, where they planned to challenge key elements of the nation's nuclear programme, Nature has learned.
