He advised the students to develop scientific temperament while learning in order to achieve better results in both academics and career. He inaugurated the space education expo awareness conference at the government junior college in Mangalagiri on Friday.
Addressing the students, Venkateswarlu encouraged the students to learn about global space research rather than treating it as a mere pastime. He urged students to utilize the space skill program to advance to higher levels in the future.
He said that chief minister Chandrababu Naidu is globally known as a visionary leader not because he served as chief minister for four-terms, but for his futuristic thinking and visualization of advancement of technologies.
He said that Chandrababu Naidu is the first person to predict the software revolution almost three decades ago and laid the strong foundation to make combined AP as leader in the market. He said that Hyderabad has now became a global leader in attracting GCCs thanks to the vision of Chandrababu Naidu.
'Chief minister Chandrababu Naidu was aptly backed by HRD and IT minister Nara Lokesh to take the mission ahead as they have now on a mission to make AP as global capital of quantum valley. The next generation student should also gear up not only to make use of the advanced technology but to make themselves as future leaders,' said Vekateswarlu.
The students were given insights into operating drones and understanding scientific equipment set up at the expo. Students were thrilled to examine the equipment set up in the science expo. Science City of AP has been organizing science expos in all the districts with the support of Samagra Siksha Abhiyan (SSA).

‘Is it a comet, a probe, or something else?' Meet 3I/ATLAS, the strange interstellar object baffling everyone

AP This diagram provided by NASA/JPL-Caltech shows the trajectory of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it passes through the solar system. (NASA/JPL-Caltech via AP) A mysterious interstellar object, named 3I/ATLAS, is hurtling toward the Sun at over 130,000 mph, and scientists can't agree on what exactly it on July 1, 3I/ATLAS is the third known interstellar visitor to enter our solar system, following 2017's Oumuamua and 2019's Borisov. It measures about 15 miles wide, making it larger than Manhattan. While some astronomers suggest it's a comet made of water ice and organic compounds like silicates—similar to asteroids found in the outer regions of the solar system's main belt—others aren't convinced it's natural at all. — UAPWatchers (@UAPWatchers) Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, known for his bold theories about extraterrestrial intelligence, has again stirred debate. Along with researchers Adam Hibberd and Adam Crowl from the Initiative for Interstellar Studies, Loeb has proposed that 3I/ATLAS may be an alien probe, pointing to its unusual trajectory and exceptionally high speed, even greater than ?Oumuamua's. The team speculates that such characteristics could offer "advantages to extraterrestrial intelligence," suggesting the object's path might be optimized for reconnaissance. — coreyspowell (@coreyspowell) Interestingly, some theorists believe the object is older than our solar system, possibly carrying water that predates Earth. Loeb notes that 3I/ATLAS will pass close to Mars, Jupiter, and Venus, which, he argues, could provide a discreet opportunity to deploy surveillance it makes its closest approach to the Sun in late November, 3I/ATLAS will no longer be visible from Earth—a detail Loeb says could be intentional to avoid detection during its brightest phase. — latestinspace (@latestinspace) 'If it's a technological artifact,' Loeb adds, 'it could support the Dark Forest theory'—a concept suggesting that alien civilizations stay silent to avoid being discovered by potentially hostile warns that if this theory holds, defensive measures might be necessary, though the object is moving too fast for any Earth-based spacecraft to intercept before it exits the Solar discovery has triggered a storm of speculation on social media, especially on X (formerly Twitter). — ClintonDesveaux (@ClintonDesveaux) One post read: 'Hubble just captured 3I/ATLAS and it's weirder than anyone expected! It looks like a comet, it flies like a probe—and it might not be natural at all.'Another conspiracy theory account added: 'Is this Project Bluebeam in action? The mainstream media is pushing the 'hostile alien object' narrative. 3I/ATLAS could be an invader comet, just like ?Oumuamua before it mysteriously slingshotted around the Sun and left the system at an unnatural speed.' — UAPWatchers (@UAPWatchers) Whether comet or craft, 3I/ATLAS continues to fuel a heated debate—raising scientific curiosity and interstellar suspicion in equal measure.

‘India's 1st quantum computer operational in Bengaluru'

BENGALURU: Karnataka Minister for Science and Technology NS Boseraju said India's first quantum computer is already operational in Bengaluru, and Karnataka is leading the country in quantum innovation. The minister was responding to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's tweet stating that Andhra Pradesh is set to deploy India's first indigenously built 8-qubit quantum computer this November in Amaravati. 'While celebrating our progress, we must also cultivate a culture of considering facts and figures,' the minister stated in a sharp response to Naidu's claims. Boseraju said that Karnataka, particularly Bengaluru, has already made significant progress as the hub of India's quantum sector. A prime example is the 25-qubit quantum computer 'Indus', indigenously developed by QpiAI and operational in Bengaluru, he stated. He highlighted that India's first Quantum Research Park has been established at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science (IISc). The state cabinet has approved Rs 48 crore for the development of its second phase. Several initiatives are underway to ensure the holistic growth of the quantum sector in Karnataka. A Quantum Summit is being organised in Bengaluru on July 31 and August 1. A roadmap to transform Karnataka into a global quantum powerhouse is being prepared, which will be unveiled on July 31 by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, read a statement from the minister's office.

Meet ET-LDHCM, India's game-changer deadly hypersonic missile which can move at Mach 8 speed, has 1500 km range, bad news for Pakistan, China due to…

(Representational image/AP) DRDO ET-LDHCM: In a significant development in India's internal security needs, India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed a new hypersonic missile called ET-LDHCM (Extended Trajectory – Long Duration Hypersonic Cruise Missile) under a confidential project reportedly named 'Project Vishnu'. Here are all the details you need to know about Extended Trajectory – Long Duration Hypersonic Cruise Missile. Why is ET-LDHCM dangerous? As per media reports, the new Extended Trajectory – Long Duration Hypersonic Cruise Missile will be able to travel at speeds up to Mach 8 (approximately 9,800 to 11,000 km/h) and is designed for a range of around 1,500 km. Reports also say that if experts confirm the specifications, the missile would place it well above current cruise missile capabilities like BrahMos in both speed and range. India speeds up work on bunker-buster warhead for Agni missile with eye on underground targets Meanwhile, in another significant development, India speeded up efforts to develop advanced bunker-buster warheads as part of a variant of the Agni missile system that is capable of penetrating high-value enemy targets that are fortified deep under the ground and cannot be destroyed with conventional weapons. According to a report by news agency IANS, the move has been expedited following the success of the US strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities that were buried deep beneath the earth in the mountainside and covered with reinforced concrete. DRDO successfully conducts scramjet engine ground test DRDO has successfully done a cutting-edge Active Cooled Scramjet Combustor (engine) ground test for 120 seconds for the first time in India. An official said that it marks a crucial milestone in developing next-generation hypersonic missiles. What are Hypersonic missiles? Hypersonic missiles are a class of advanced weaponry that travel at speeds greater than Mach 5 which is five times the speed of sound or more than 5,400 km/hr. These advanced weapons have the potential to bypass existing Air Defence Systems and deliver rapid and high-impact strikes. (With inputs from agencies)
