Mumbai: Amid a shortage of medical oxygen in the city, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday claimed that its quota of the life-saving gas is being diverted to the neighbouring regions of
Thane and
Navi Mumbai.
BMC Additional Commissioner P Velrasu wrote a letter to Konkan divisional commissioner Annasaheb Misal last week and stated that the diversion of liquid medical oxygen (LMO) from Mumbai is leading to multiple distress calls of its short supply in some hospitals. On some occasions, patients even had to be shifted to other medical facilities.
According to his letter, the
Maharashtra government has fixed a quota of liquid medical oxygen for Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai and other areas in MMR, keeping in mind the huge spike in its demand.

MUMBAI: A mathematical model analysing the reasons for the second Covid wave in the city and the future trends suggests that the rising graph of Covid fatalities will peak in the first week of May. Covid cases peaked a few weeks before May 1 in Mumbai.
Analysing the vaccination trends, a paper presented by a team of scientists from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, stated that in scenarios matching Mumbai’s inoculation drive (age-based vaccinations of 15 to 20 lakh new people a month; 75% efficacy), Covid fatalities will reduce to near January- and February-levels by June 1.

The newly set-up quantum technology hub at IISER Pune will carry out cutting-edge R&D in quantum and related technologies.
Quantum computers, quantum communication devices, novel quantum materials, and other things quantum are expected to be developed.
The hub could lay the foundation for commercial quantum technologies as well.
A new quantum technology hub, set up at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune, with the support of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), promises to be a common area for many things quantum in India over the coming years.

Bengaluru: For over a century, cosmologists have assumed that the universe is homogenous and appears the same in all directions. But in the last few years, many physicists and astronomers have challenged this so-called
cosmological principle.
A group of scientists from the US, the UK, France and India have gathered more evidence that suggests the universe isn’t in fact the same in all directions.
