The Bhabha Atomic Reseach Centre (BARC) has developed a next-generation bulletproof jacket for the Indian armed forces, which is not only cheaper but also much lighter. Bhabha Kavach, named after nuclear physicist Dr. Homi J. Bhabha, the jacket was developed at BARC's Trombay centre in response ...

Nuclear physicists have long sought to derive an “equation of state” (EoS) that describes dense nuclear matter, such as that found inside a neutron star. Such an EoS, based on fundamental nuclear physics parameters, would predict, among other things, the stellar mass-radius relationship and the ...

Bhabha Kavach, named after nuclear physicist Dr. Homi J.

Dr. Kinshuk Dasgupta, scientific officer at BARC's materials group, told The ...

However, it was Polish-born American nuclear physicist Stanislaw Ulam who came up with the concept of using nuclear explosions to power spacecraft. Ulam came up with the idea in 1947, a decade before the Sputnik 1 satellite and the dawning of the space age. Ulam's proposal envisioned the use of a ...

Business Insider also cited Greg Spriggs, a nuclear physicist at California's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He called the notion of nuclear explosion–induced tsunamis "completely stupid." After further evidence of the "doomsday" weapon was revealed in the Pentagon's Nuclear Posture Review ...

It was in 1948 that nuclear physicist Homi Jehangir Bhabha, who founded TIFR at Mumbai, initiated balloon flights for cosmic ray research. Over the next decade, about 60 balloons were launched from Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi and Srinagar. With limitations in using rubber balloons, a project to ...

I had one who wants to be a nuclear physicist.” Robbie Kaufman described the set-up for the interviews as intense and “Fast and Furious.” “Any time you get intimidated by someone, that's a life lesson,” Kaufman said. “Everything is life is educational, if you let it be that.” “I was very impressed with all these ...

During Vladimir Putin's address to the Russian Federal Assembly on March 1, 2018, he described a plethora of nuclear weapons Russia is developing. One of these proposed weapons — an autonomous submarine — stood out among the depictions of falling warheads and nuclear-powered cruise missiles.

CAPE TOWN - Kelvin Kemm is a nuclear physicist and the Chief Executive Officer of nuclear project management company, Nuclear Africa. Just last year, Kemm made headlines when he revealed his plans to add 9600MW of new nuclear power to the approximately 2000MW currently produced by the ...

Retired nuclear physicist hasn't given up fight to stop shutdown of NRU in Chalk River. March 28, 2018 08:00 am. Retired nuclear physicist John Hilborn won't be joining his colleagues at Saturday's shutdown ceremonies for the National Research Universal (NRU) reactor at Chalk River. The 91 year-old is fighting to keep ...

In a study published March 26 in Physical Review Letters, nuclear physicists from the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ... John Wilkerson, a nuclear physicist from ORNL and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who led the construction of the experiment, said, “The ...

THE ballot-stuffing, blatant and in full view of the cameras, only underlined Vladimir Putin's impunity. The official result on March 18th gave him 77% of the vote, on a turnout of almost 70%. But the unofficial one would not have been very different. The election was not a genuine exercise of choice so much ...

Earlier, Jamaat e Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq had suggested making nuclear physicist and founder of Pakistan's nuclear bomb project Abdul Qadeer Khan care-taker prime minister. Opposition leader in the National Assembly Khursheed Shah had earlier said that he would make every effort to nominate a ...

Skarsgard is set to play Boris Shcherbina, the Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers and head of the Bureau for Fuel and Energy of the USSR, with Watson as Ulana Khomyuk, a nuclear physicist investigating the cause of the disaster to ensure it can never happen again. The miniseries is being ...

The nuclear physicists conduct these studies by tracking the particles emerging from the collisions. One intriguing finding from an earlier run at RHIC was an observation of differences in how negatively and positively charged particles flow out from the fireball created when two gold ions collide. Scientists ...

The retired nuclear physicist and officer of the Order of Canada has “politely declined” to gather with former colleagues and officials to mark the final day of operation at Chalk River's storied National Research Universal (NRU) reactor at the end of this month. At 91, he is too busy fighting to keep the ...

While the concept of emotional intelligence isn't new, it's been gaining traction in today's business world. When employers talk about the importance of "soft skills" and traits such as resilience and empathy, they're actually describing components of emotional intelligence. Although the word "intelligence" is ...

Watson will star as Ulana Khomyuk, a Soviet nuclear physicist committed to solving the scientific mystery of what led to the accident. The project reunites the pair after they worked together on 1996 movie “Breaking the Waves.” Jared Harris (“The Crown”) has already been confirmed to play Valery Legasov, ...

EXCLUSIVE: A scientist who believes the Nibiru doomsday theory has challenged NASA to prove it does not exist and poses no threat to Earth. The Nibiru, or Planet X, theory is that a mini solar system consisting of a sun, planets and moons is lurking on the edge of our solar system with a huge orbit of the ...
