S&T QUE
1. Recently researchers at the University of Minnesota (US) have discovered ferromagnetic properties in this chemical element at room temperature
a. Platinum
b. Iridium
c. Ruthenium
d. Strontium
About Ruthenium (Ru) • It belongs to the platinum group, has atomic number 44 and is mostly used in the electronics industry for chip resistors and electrical contacts. • It is the fourth element to have unique magnetic properties at room temperature. • Other than this only three elements have been found to be ferromagnetic at room temperature - iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni).
2. GRAVITYRAT found in recent news is related to
a. A computer malware
b. Genetically modified rat for experimentation
c. NASA's new mission
d. Defence ministry's new initiative to keep a vigilant eye on China
About Gravity RAT • It infiltrates a system in the form of an innocuous looking email attachment, which can be in any format, including MS Word, MS Excel, MS Powerpoint, Adobe Acrobat or even audio and video files.
3. India recently participated in the 3rd Mission Innovation Ministerial Meeting held in Sweden
Consider the following statements:
1.Mission Innovation Champions Programme was launched by Mission innovation countries to felicitate clean energy innovators
2.Hydrogen Innovation Challenge was announced to reduce costs along the value chain and further expand the deployment of hydrogen.
3.India announced participation in Global cooling innovation challenge
