Answer: All of these
Integrating multi-omics (genomics, metabolomics, microbiome) with lifestyle, clinical data enables personalized diets for disease prevention, management. ICMR's IndiGen project supports genomic research for precision health. [[ICMR Reports, NCERT Biology Class 12]]
Answer: All of these
MOSIP, developed by IIIT-Bengaluru, provides modular, privacy-by-design framework for digital ID. Adopted by Philippines, Morocco; India explores interoperability with Aadhaar for specific use cases. [[MeitY, NITI Aayog Reports]]
Answer: All of these
Bio-inspired catalysts replicate enzyme active sites (e.g., porphyrins for heme) using synthetic scaffolds. Applications: green synthesis, environmental remediation, energy conversion. Interdisciplinary field combining chemistry, biology, materials science. [[NCERT Chemistry Class 12]]
Answer: Climate
Adaptation Fund supports concrete adaptation projects/programs: early warning systems, climate-resilient agriculture, coastal protection. India has accessed funds for community-based adaptation in vulnerable regions. [[MoEFCC, UNFCCC Reports]]
Answer: Electric
Ion engines: electric fields accelerate xenon ions to high velocity, producing efficient low-thrust propulsion. Used in deep-space missions (e.g., Chandrayaan-2 orbiter). High specific impulse enables long-duration missions. [[ISRO Reports, NCERT Physics Class 11]]
Answer: Spatial
Techniques like 10x Visium, MERFISH preserve tissue architecture while sequencing RNA. Reveals cell-cell interactions, tissue organization in development, disease. Transformative for cancer biology, neuroscience. [[DBT Reports, NCERT Biology Class 12]]
Answer: Transaction
AA ecosystem: users grant consent via AA apps to share financial data (bank statements, investments) securely with lenders, insurers. Enhances credit access, reduces paperwork, empowers data principals. [[RBI, MeitY Reports]]
Answer: Physical
Physisorption: weak van der Waals forces bind H₂ to high-surface-area MOFs. Reversible, fast kinetics; challenges: low volumetric density at ambient conditions. Research focuses on optimizing pore chemistry for room-temperature storage. [[NCERT Chemistry Class 12]]
Answer: Environmental
Green bonds fund renewable energy, clean transport, sustainable water management, etc. India is among top emerging market issuers. SEBI's Green Bond Guidelines (2017) ensure transparency and impact reporting. [[SEBI, MoEFCC Reports]]
Answer: Entanglement
Quantum teleportation: entangled pair shared between sender/receiver; Bell measurement + classical bits enable state reconstruction. Does not transmit matter/energy; foundational for quantum internet. India's QuEST program advances this research. [[DST Reports]]
Answer: Transcriptional
scRNA-seq profiles gene expression in individual cells, identifying rare cell types, developmental trajectories, disease subpopulations. Revolutionized immunology, neuroscience, cancer research. [[DBT Reports, NCERT Biology Class 12]]
Answer: Local
Federated learning: model updates (not raw data) are shared from edge devices to central server. Preserves privacy, reduces bandwidth; used in healthcare (hospital data), mobile keyboards, IoT. Key for GDPR/DPDP-compliant AI. [[MeitY Reports]]
Answer: Vanadium
VRFBs use V²⁺/V³⁺ (negative) and VO²⁺/VO₂⁺ (positive) couples in separate tanks. Power (stack size) and energy (tank volume) decoupled; ideal for grid-scale storage with long cycle life. [[MNRE Reports, NCERT Chemistry Class 12]]
Answer: Nature-based
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) use ecosystems to address societal challenges: mangroves for coastal protection, forests for carbon sinks, urban green spaces for heat mitigation. Cost-effective, co-benefits for biodiversity. [[MoEFCC, UNEP Reports]]
Answer: Engineered microstructure
Metamaterials have sub-wavelength structures designed to manipulate EM waves in ways natural materials cannot. Applications: superlenses, cloaking, compact antennas. Active research area in photonics and acoustics. [[NCERT Physics Class 12, DST Reports]]
Answer: Mosquito
Gene drives could spread malaria-resistance genes or suppress Anopheles populations. High potential but raises ecological/ethical concerns. Strict biosafety protocols under DBT guidelines govern research in India. [[DBT Reports, NCERT Biology Class 12]]
Answer: All of these
6G (2030+) aims for convergence of communication, sensing, computing, and AI: holographic telepresence, tactile internet, ubiquitous intelligence. Requires breakthroughs in THz tech, materials, energy efficiency. [[TRAI, MeitY Reports]]
Answer: Endocytosis
LNPs fuse with cell membranes or are internalized via endocytosis; endosomal escape releases mRNA into cytoplasm for translation. Key innovation enabling mRNA vaccine efficacy and stability. [[ICMR Reports, NCERT Biology Class 12]]
Answer: Cesium
Cesium-133 hyperfine transition (9,192,631,770 Hz) defines the SI second. Atomic clocks enable GPS positioning accuracy (~5-10 m). Next-gen optical clocks (Sr, Yb) promise 100x improvement. [[NCERT Physics Class 11, ISRO Reports]]
Answer: Memristors
Memristors (memory resistors) emulate synaptic plasticity, enabling low-power, parallel processing for AI tasks. Applications: edge AI, robotics, brain-machine interfaces. India's National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems supports R&D. [[MeitY, DST Reports]]
