What are the advantages of sodium-ion batteries over lithium-ion batteries?
1. It is way more abundant than lithium and can be extracted from seawater at relatively lower costs.
2. It is more environmentally friendly.
3. It can be transported at zero volt, making it safer.
4. It uses aluminum, which is cheaper than copper used in the lithium-ion battery tech.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
(a) Only one
(b) Only two
(c) Only three
(d) All four
Explanation
— A fast-charging sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery that can charge up to 80% in six minutes and claims to survive over 3,000 charge cycles, making it virtually similar to more common lithium-ion batteries. This is a breakthrough claimed by a research team at the Bengaluru-based Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology, and is being hailed as yet another promising step in India's efforts to develop an alternative to lithium-ion chemistry, the most common element in battery manufacturing, where China has a virtual stranglehold.
— The new battery, developed by a JNCASR team led by Prof. Premkumar Senguttuvan and Ph.D. scholar Biplab Patra, is based on a 'NASICON-type' chemistry, a class of polyanionic materials with a known structure in electrochemical materials, but with significantly improved performance claims using novel material engineering. Unlike ordinary sodium-ion batteries, which have slow charging and short lifespans, this new battery combines a clever combination of chemistry and nanotechnology to achieve a substantially shorter charge time and more charge cycles.
Advantages over li-ion batteries
— It is way more abundant than lithium and can be extracted from seawater at relatively lower costs.
— It is more environmentally friendly.
— It can be transported at zero volt, making it safer, unlike lithium, which is less environmentally friendly and must be always stored with a minimum charge, increasing fire risks.
— It uses aluminum, which is cheaper than copper used in the lithium-ion battery tech.
— Sodium-ion batteries also have a higher operating temperature range and are hence safer, given that these can be used in more extreme temperatures without the risk of thermal runaway.
Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer.
With reference to Satellite communication, consider the following statements:
1. Satellite communication services rely on an array of satellites in orbit to offer connectivity to homes and businesses on the ground.
2. It requires a vast network of wires to transmit data.
3. OneWeb operates the world's largest satellite constellation.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
(a) Only one
(b) Only two
(c) All three
(d) None
Explanation
— Elon Musk's Starlink, which offers satellite internet services, has won regulatory permission from the government, nearly three years after originally seeking for an operator licence, opening the way for the company to begin selling the service in the country.
— Satellite communication services rely on a constellation of satellites in orbit to provide connectivity to homes and businesses on Earth. They are an alternative to ground-based communication, known as terrestrial networks, such as cable, fibre, or digital subscriber line (DSL), and they do not need wires to transport data. Hence, statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is not correct.
— Starlink manages the world's largest satellite constellation, with around 7,000 satellites in orbit. Hence, statement 3 is not correct.
— Satellite-based communication and broadband services benefit end users in two ways: they provide larger coverage and a more resilient network. Even though satcom services have higher latency than terrestrial broadband networks, they may cover large areas with very little physical equipment installed.
— The approval of Starlink comes just days after the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) issued guidelines for satellite communication businesses. The recommendations require enterprises to establish local manufacturing, data localisation, use domestic navigation systems, install a blocking mechanism, and collaborate with law enforcement agencies.
Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.
Hakuto-R mission, in which the spacecraft was likely unable to decelerate sufficiently in the final moments, and crashed on the lunar surface. The mission was launched by:
(a) South Korea
(b) China
(c) Japan
(d) Taiwan
Explanation
— A Japanese space mission designed to land on the Moon has failed. Like Chandrayaan-2, the spacecraft was most likely unable to decelerate sufficiently in its last seconds and crashed on the lunar surface.
— The Hakuto-R mission was led by the private Japanese corporation ispace, which sent the lander Resilience and the rover Micro. Just before the touchdown this morning, mission control lost contact with the spacecraft.
— 'The lander dropped from an altitude of around 100 km to 20 km before successfully firing its main engine to begin deceleration. While the lander's height was confirmed to be nearly vertical, telemetry was lost after that, and no data indicating a successful landing was received, even after the intended landing time had passed,' ispace stated.
Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer.
Consider the following statements:
Statement 1: The most common black holes are formed when massive stars — more than eight times the mass of the Sun — run out of fuel.
Statement 2: As long as the star burns hydrogen in its core, it generates energy that pushes outward, balancing the inward pull of gravity. But when the fuel is exhausted, this balance tips. Gravity takes over. The core collapses in on itself.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
(a) Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1.
(b) Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation for Statement 1.
(c) Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is incorrect.
(d) Statement 1 is incorrect but Statement 2 is correct.
Explanation
— A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape — not even light.
— At the heart of a black hole is a 'singularity' – a place where our physical laws break down and gravity becomes infinite.
— The most common black holes arise when huge stars—more than eight times the mass of the Sun—run out of fuel. As long as the star burns hydrogen in its core, it produces energy that pushes outward, counterbalancing gravity's inward pull. However, as the fuel is depleted, this balance shifts. Gravity takes over. The centre collapses into itself. Hence, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
— If the remaining mass is huge enough — usually more than three times the mass of the Sun — not even neutron pressure (the final barrier) can stop the collapse. A black hole is created.
Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1.
Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.
With reference to the Large Hadron Collider, consider the following statements:
1. It has been developed by the European Organisation for Nuclear Research.
2. It uses a distribution system of liquid sodium to keep its critical components ultracold at minus 271.3 degrees Celsius.
3. It has been built to study infrared rays.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
(a) Only one
(b) Only two
(c) All three
(d) None
Explanation
— The Large Hadron Collider is a giant, complex machine built to study particles that are the smallest known building blocks of all things. Hence, statement 3 is not correct.
— It is structurally a 27-km-long track loop buried 100 metres underground on the Swiss-French border. It fires two beams of protons almost at the speed of light in opposite directions inside a ring of superconducting electromagnets.
— The magnetic field created by the superconducting electromagnets keeps the protons in a tight beam and guides them along the way as they travel through beam pipes and finally collide.
— Prior to the collision, another type of magnet is used to 'squeeze' the particles closer together to increase the chances of collisions.
— The particles are so tiny that the task of making them collide is akin to firing two needles 10 km apart with such precision that they meet halfway,' according to the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, or CERN, in French), which runs the particle accelerator complex that houses the LHC. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
— The LHC's powerful electromagnets carry almost as much current as a bolt of lightning, they must be kept chilled. The LHC uses a distribution system of liquid helium to keep its critical components ultracold at minus 271.3 degrees Celsius, which is colder than interstellar space. Given these requirements, it is not easy to warm up or cool down the gigantic machine. Hence, statement 2 is not correct.
Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.
Consider the following statements:
1. Indian Space Research Organisation operates under the Ministry of Science & Technology.
2. The Ministry of Earth Sciences was formerly the Department of Ocean Development.
3. India Meteorological Department operates under the Ministry of Earth Science.
Which of the above given statements is/are true?
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 only
(c) 2 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
Explanation
— According to moes.gov.in, 'MoES was formerly the Department of Ocean Development (DOD), which was created in July 1981 as a part of the Cabinet Secretariat directly under the charge of the Prime Minister of India.' Hence, statement 2 is correct.
— According to isro.gov.in, ISRO, the Indian Space Research Organisation, operates under the Department of Space (DoS). Hence, statement 1 is not correct.
— According to mausam.imd.gov.in, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) works under the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) of the Government of India. Hence, statement 3 is correct.
Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer.
Consider the following Indian origin scientists:
1. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan
2. Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar
3. Hargovind Khorana
Which of the above mentioned scientists were also the recipients of the Nobel Prize?
(a) 1 and 2 only
(b) 1 and 3 only
(c) 2 and 3 only
(d) 1, 2 and 3
Explanation
— It has been 95 years since an Indian won a Nobel Prize in the sciences — Physics, Chemistry or Medicine — while working in India. CV Raman's Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 remains the only such honour. Three more Indian-origin scientists have won — Hargovind Khorana in Medicine in 1968, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar in Physics in 1983, and Venkatraman Ramakrishnan in Chemistry 2009 — but they did their work outside India and were not Indian citizens when they were honoured.
Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer.
'Ebb' and 'Flow', the twin spacecraft, were part of which NASA mission?
(a) Hakuto-R
(b) Atmospheric Limb Tracker for Investigation of the Upcoming Stratosphere (Altius)
(c) BepiColombo
(d) Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL)
Explanation
According to science.nasa.gov,
— 'NASA's GRAIL mission flew twin spacecraft—Ebb and Flow—in tandem around the Moon to map variations in the lunar gravitational field. The probes generated the highest resolution gravity map of any celestial body to date. At the end of the mission, the probes purposely crashed on the Moon.'
Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer.

Share your views and suggestions in the comment box or at With reference to the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), consider the following statements: 1. It is a climate pattern affecting the Indian Ocean. 2. During a positive phase, cold waters are pushed to the Western part of the Indian Ocean. 3. The IOD does not influence the local weather. How many of the statements given above are correct? (a) Only one (b) Only two (c) All three (d) None Explanation The sea surface temperatures recorded along the equatorial Pacific Ocean in June ranged between 0 and 0.4 degree Celsius. The coupled ocean-atmospheric system in the tropical Pacific Ocean reflected ENSO neutral conditions. The Indian Ocean Dipole is a climate pattern affecting the Indian Ocean. During a positive phase, warm waters are pushed to the Western part of the Indian Ocean, while cold deep waters are brought up to the surface in the Eastern Indian Ocean. This pattern is reversed during the negative phase of the IOD. Hence, statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is not correct. The IOD influences the local weather. During the positive phase of the IOD, the high temperatures along the coast of Africa cause heavy rains and droughts in Australia. During a negative phase the high temperatures and rainfall patterns are reversed. The sea-level changes associated with the IOD can also lead to increased threats of coastal flooding and associated impacts. Hence, statement 3 is not correct. Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer. (Other Source: With reference to the dial-up internet, consider the following statements: 1. It is a form of accessing the internet using a computer's modem and a home telephone line or landline. 2. It was accompanied by characteristic beeps and digital screeches. 3. It was a way of exchanging messages and files between computers using the UNIX-to-UNIX copy protocol (UUCP). Which of the statements given above is/are correct? (a) 1 and 2 only (b) 2 only (c) 3 only (d) 1, 2 and 3 Explanation — AOL's remaining dial-up internet customers will sign off for the last time as the company is permanently shutting down the service that brought the internet to millions in the US during the early 1980s and 90s. — The origins of dial-up internet service is rooted in Usenet developed in 1979 by two graduate students at Duke University in the United States. It was a way of exchanging messages and files between computers using the UNIX-to-UNIX copy protocol (UUCP). Hence, statement 3 is correct. — Dial-up internet is a form of accessing the internet. It uses a computer's modem and a home telephone line or landline to connect to the internet at 56 kilobits per second or less, which are painfully slow internet speeds by today's standards. Access to the web via dial-up internet was accompanied by characteristic beeps and digital screeches. Hence, statements 1 and 2 are correct. — CompuServe was among the first companies to begin 'offering a dial-up online information service to consumers' in 1979. AOL's dial-up internet service made its debut in 1991, as per a report by Gizmodo. — However, by 1995, dial-up internet was being left behind in favour of faster cable internet service that relied on existing cable TV infrastructure. Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer. NVS-03, NVS-04 and NVS-05 are the satellites related to: (a) Navigation services (b) Communication services (c) Weather-related services (d) Lunar satellites Explanation — ISRO will launch three navigation satellites for its Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) by next year, according to a reply in Parliament by the Union MoS for Space Dr Jitendra Singh. — The first of the three, NVS-03, is scheduled to be launched by year-end. The other two, NVS-04 and NVS-05, will be launched after that 'with a gap of six months,' as per data. — The IRNSS was envisioned as a seven-satellite constellation that could provide navigation services over the Indian landmass and a radius of 1,500km around it. — So far, 11 satellites have been launched for the IRNSS constellation. Of these, two failed to reach the intended orbit. In what was ISRO's 100th launch, NVS-02 was sent to space in January this year, but the further orbit raising manoeuvres needed to put the satellite in the proper orbit could not be completed because of a technical glitch. Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer. The term 'tripledemic' refers to the simultaneous circulation of three respiratory viruses. Which of the following respiratory viruses is not included in tripledemic? (a) COVID-19 (b) Influenza (c) Respiratory syncytial virus (d) Respiratory adenoviruses Explanation — As the UK prepares for a possible 'tripledemic' this autumn and winter, health experts are concerned about the simultaneous spread of three respiratory viruses. As the cold season approaches and respiratory illnesses become more prevalent, India may experience similar issues. — According to Dr. Vibhu Kawatra, a pulmonologist, paediatrician, and allergy expert in Delhi, 'the term 'tripledemic' refers to the simultaneous circulation of three respiratory viruses: COVID-19, influenza (the flu), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)'. — This circumstance puts pressure on healthcare resources because all three viruses can cause an increase in hospitalisations, particularly among vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those with underlying health issues. Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer. With reference to the neutron stars, consider the following statements: 1. They are superdense astrophysical objects formed at the end of a massive star's life in a supernova explosion. 2. They constantly lose energy by emitting gravitational waves until they eventually collide and merge. Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct? (a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2 Explanation — Neutron stars are superdense astrophysical objects formed at the end of a massive star's life in a supernova explosion. Hence, statement 1 is correct. — Sometimes, neutron stars orbit each other in binary systems. — These systems constantly lose energy by emitting gravitational waves until they eventually collide and merge. Hence, statement 2 is correct. — Researchers may now examine the physical characteristics of the universe's most severe states because of these mergers. For instance, heavy metals like gold are formed under the circumstances of these high-energy collisions. Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer. What is the aim of PM-WANI? (a) To promote exclusive high-speed broadband connections for government offices. (b) To replace all existing mobile networks with a single government-run network. (c) To provide free Wi-Fi in public places nationwide. (d) To provide free rechargeable points for cellphones in public places across the country. Explanation — The Prime Minister Wi-Fi Access Network Interface (PM-WANI) scheme, launched by the government earlier this year, aims to provide free Wi-Fi in public places nationwide, enabling citizens to access the internet while traveling. Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer. Consider the following: 1. The motion of lift from an airfoil, the air is deflected downward by the airfoil's action, and in reaction, the wing is pushed upward. 2. The motion of a spinning ball, the air is deflected to one side, and the ball reacts by moving in the opposite direction. 3. The motion of a jet engine produces thrust and hot exhaust gases flow out the back of the engine, and a thrusting force is produced in the opposite direction. Which of the above mentioned motions are examples of Newton's Third Law ? (a) 1 and 2 only (b) 1 and 3 only (c) 2 and 3 only (d) 1, 2 and 3 Explanation Newton's Third Law: Action & Reaction — Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. — All three are examples of action and reaction involving aerodynamics. Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer. (source: With reference to Artemis Accords, consider the following statements: 1. They provide a common set of principles to enhance the governance of the civil exploration and use of outer space. 2. There are seven nations, along with NASA, in coordination with the U.S. Department of State, that are signatories to this accord. Which of the statements given above is/are true? (a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2 Explanation According to — NASA, in coordination with the U.S. Department of State and seven other initial signatory nations, established the Artemis Accords in 2020. With many countries and private companies conducting missions and operations around the Moon, the Artemis Accords provide a common set of principles to enhance the governance of the civil exploration and use of outer space. — As per data, there are 56 signatory parties on 24 July, 2025.

Pixxel-led consortium makes ‘suicide bid' at zero for EO PPP, to bear Rs 1,200-crore cost
iStock A consortium led by Bengaluru-based Pixxel, which has won the government contract to design, build, and operate India's first fully indigenous commercial Earth Observation (EO) satellite constellation, did so by bidding at zero cost. This means the group will bear the entire ₹1,200 crore investment while forgoing the government's public-private partnership (PPP) offer of up to ₹350 crore in support. 'The winning bid was zero. I cannot reveal the other bids, but this zero bid by the consortium is a very strong statement that the private sector sees immense opportunities in space,' IN-SPACe chairman Pawan Goenka told ET. The Pixxel consortium, comprising SatSure, PierSight, and Dhruva Space, emerged as the lowest bidder (L1), ahead of two other technically qualified groups: one comprised Astra Microwave Products, Bharat Electronics, Sisir Radar, and Spectragaze Systems; the other was GalaxEye Space, with CoreEL. The request for proposal was issued a year ago, with IN-SPACe announcing the selection of the winning bidder on GalaxEye, one of the other technically qualified consortia, told ET that its bid was pegged at ₹97 crore. Over the next four years, the team will deploy 12 satellites carrying optical, hyperspectral, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors, delivering high-resolution data for agriculture, urban planning, disaster management, climate monitoring, and national Jyoti, Director, Technical Directorate, IN-SPACe, told ET that the first satellite will be launched within two years, with the remaining 11 to follow over the next two-and-a-half years. 'Once the first set of satellites is launched and initial data is received, it will undergo extensive validation and calibration before being offered to the commercial market,' he said the first satellite includes a lot of R&D as it has clearly defined the specifications in the tender. 'It's not just about launching 12 satellites but meeting exact parameters on revisit frequency, data resolution, and spatial coverage,' Goenka said. He added that for the first time, an Indian satellite will see multiple payloads or data capture capabilities integrated into a single mission. Pixxel, known for its hyperspectral imaging expertise, will spearhead satellite design and integration. SatSure will contribute with its knowledge in geospatial analytics and value-added services for sectors such as agriculture and infrastructure, while Dhruva Space will provide its expertise in satellite platform and ground segment solutions. PierSight will bring its capabilities in maritime surveillance, leveraging Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology to enhance monitoring and analytics over oceans and coastal regions.
