Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles on Tuesday sought extension of subsidies for EVs under the FAME II scheme and also include light to heavy commercial vehicles in it to promote electric mobility.In its pre-Budget recommendations, the industry body also called for a uniform 5 per cent GST on spare parts for electric vehicles.“The validity of FAME II is set to expire on March 31, 2024. We believe FAME’s validity needs to be extended since we have yet to meet the penetration the subsidy was supposed to catalyse,"…

CHICAGO—Once upon a time, scientists believe, Mars was far from today’s cold, inhospitable desert. Rivers carved canyons, lakes filled craters, and a magnetic field may have fended off space radiation, keeping it from eating away the atmospheric moisture. As the martian interior cooled, leading theories hold, its magnetic field died out, leaving the atmosphere undefended and ending this warm and wet period, when the planet might have hosted life. But researchers…

What is more capable of being a life-changing event than the outbreak of a pandemic? The novel coronavirus has pushed us all into the house and made us lock ourselves tight inside. No more office work and continuous lockdown for months has plummeted the economy into a deep pit. Things are changing in a wide range. The lifestyle of people and the working atmosphere is taking a u-turn with everyone stuck at home. To patch the gap between closed offices and compulsory deadlines, work from home concept got widely adopted.…

Cleaner alternatives based on wind and solar to power the sector are needed, in addition to high-capacity batteries that are also light. Right now, electrochemical batteries are best suited for this, in particular lithium-ion batteries. Besides designing better batteries…

NASA and SpaceX have agreed to study the feasibility of awarding Elon Musk's company a contract to boost the Hubble Space Telescope to a higher orbit, with a goal of extending its lifespan, the US space agency said Thursday.The renowned observatory has been operating since 1990 about 335 miles (540 kilometers) above Earth, in an orbit that slowly decays over time.Hubble has no on-board propulsion to counter the small but still present atmospheric drag in this region of space, and its altitude has previously been restored…
