SMSS lab of IIT-K completes 25 years
Kanpur: The Smart Materials, Structures, and Systems (SMSS) Laboratory, department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kanpur, completed 25 years on June 8 this year. The lab celebrated its 26th Foundation Day.
The laboratory was developed through generous Grant-in-Aid support from the AR&DB, ACECOST project as a Centre of Excellence in Smart Materials, along with support from the Institute and the Ministry of Education (then MHRD, through the MODROB Grant). Subsequently, ISRO, HAL, and GAIL funded the laboratory significantly in various phases of development.
"We are delighted to reflect upon the incredible journey of our research group. Since its establishment on 8th June 2000, the SMSS Lab has been at the forefront of cutting-edge research, consistently striving for excellence in the fields of smart sensors, actuators, intelligent system design, and robotics," said IIT Kanpur in a release.

Delhi Government To Conduct First-Ever Artificial Rain Trial Between July 4 And 11: Sources
Last Updated: The Delhi government is set to conduct its first trial of artificial rain through cloud seeding in a bid to reduce air pollution. The Delhi government is set to conduct its first trial of artificial rain through cloud seeding between July 4 and 11, in an effort to reduce air pollution, sources told CNN-News18. IIT Kanpur is in charge of the technical operations for this project. The BJP-led Delhi government has secured permission from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and plans to induce rain when weather conditions are favorable. This trial is estimated to cost approximately Rs 3.21 crore. Each trial will last 90 minutes and involve spraying a mixture of nanoparticles and salt from an aircraft. This is a developing story. More details to be added. First Published:

Delhi plans cloud-seeding trial in July, awaiting final clearance from DGCA
NEW DELHI: Delhi govt is likely to conduct a cloud seeding pilot project between July 4 and 11, when weather is expected to be feasible for causing artificial rain, city environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said. He added that govt had received a report from IMD, which has been shared with DGCA along with a flight map for getting permission for the project. The govt has chalked out a tentative flight plan for the experiment, which includes Bawana, Rohini, Alipur, Kundli and Burari. The minister said IMD's reports and the flight map were approved in coordination with IIT Kanpur. The Delhi cabinet had on May 7 okayed a proposal to conduct five cloud-seeding trials, with a project outlay of Rs 3.21 crore. The trials were to be carried out in May-end and early June in collaboration with IIT Kanpur. "The met department told us that till July 3 conditions are not feasible for cloud seeding; however, the July 4-11 window is favourable. DGCA has sought a backup time window in case cloud-seeding turns unfeasible during July 4-11 due to weather changes," Sirsa said. "We believe that by Monday we'll see progress in getting approvals from DGCA," the minister said. IIT-Kanpur to conduct trials for artificial rain Cloud seeding is a weather-modification technique that introduces chemicals into the air to aggregate and condense moisture particles into rain. In this technique, compounds such as silver iodide (AgI) are released into the atmosphere to aid the formation of ice crystals that lead to rain. Soon after the formation of the BJP-led govt in Delhi, Sirsa announced that they would seek no-objection certificates from agencies concerned for conducting artificial rain in the winter season, when the capital records high pollution levels. Later, on June 18, the minister said govt had received all clearances barring that from the DGCA. For cloud seeding, clearances are needed from the Special Protection Group (SPG), Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Union ministries of environment, defence and home, UP govt, IMD as well as DGCA, Airport Authority of India and the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security. Trials for artificial rain will be executed by IIT Kanpur, which had earlier conducted the experiment using its own modified aircraft equipped with a mist sprinkler aiming to cover a minimum of 100sq km per sortie. The minister had earlier said IIT Kanpur's aircraft has the necessary permit from DGCA and can remain in the air for around five hours. Scientists from IIT Kanpur expect the sortie to take at least one hour and 30 minutes. The minister had also stated that after the trial, water samples will be collected to conduct a study to ensure see if there are harmful chemicals in it. He added that as per global studies and an earlier trial run by IIT Kanpur, the success rate is around 60-70%. As per IIT Kanpur, nimbostratus clouds are the most suitable type for seeding experiments. These are usually at heights of 500-6,000 meters above ground level. The previous AAP govt had repeatedly proposed conducting artificial rain during winters but shelved it citing unfavourable meteorological conditions. During the winter of 2024, the AAP govt had floated the plan again but later alleged that it was not getting enough support or backing from the Centre.

ZSI to aid Army with research on edible fauna; announces celebrations for its 110th Foundation Day anniversary
Written by Shambhavi Pandey The Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) will mark its 110th Foundation Day on June 30 with a series of key initiatives, including the signing of two MoUs with the Indian Army and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The MoU with the Counter Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School of the Indian Army is aimed at supporting research on edible fauna in the Himalayan region to aid survival training in remote terrains, while the other MoU will be signed with the IUCN to strengthen global partnerships in biodiversity conservation. Speaking at a press conference held on Wednesday at the Kolkata Press Club, Dr. Dhriti Banerjee, Director of ZSI, announced the plans for the upcoming celebration at Biswa Bangla Convention Centre. The event will be presided over by Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav, with top ministry officials in attendance. Banerjee also highlighted the organisation's upcoming role as host of the Animal Taxonomy Summit 2025, which will bring together over 500 delegates from India and abroad to discuss taxonomy, systematics and faunal conservation from July 1 to 3. In honour of its 110th year, ZSI has organised a 110-hour national hackathon on biodiversity conservation and climate change. Of the 205 participating teams, five have made it to the grand finale scheduled for June 30. These finalists—from Jabalpur, Jodhpur, Digha, Solan, and Shillong—will compete for cash prizes of Rs 1 lakh, Rs 75,000 and Rs 50,000. One of the highlights of the Foundation Day will be the release of the second version of the Checklist of Fauna of India, a comprehensive record of over 1,05,000 known animal species compiled by more than 180 scientists. 'ZSI is like an organisation that makes Aadhaar cards for different species,' Dr. Banerjee joked, explaining that the list documents when, where, and by whom each species was discovered. The event will also see the release of ZSI's flagship publications, Animal Discoveries and Plant Discoveries, alongside other new volumes. Dr Banerjee credited the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change at both the central and state levels for enabling the scientific progress that leads to new discoveries each year. 'Being relevant for over a century in a fast-changing world is no small feat,' she said. The writer is an intern at The Indian Express
