Not China, US, India, THIS country owns world's longest missile, length is 35.5 meters, weight is..., the name is...,
New Delhi: The discussions around the world's most dangerous missiles have intensified after the military conflict between India and Pakistan. During Operation Sindoor, India launched attacks on Pakistan using 15 BrahMos missiles. These missiles strike at a speed three times faster than the speed of sound. Here, in this article, we have listed some of the missiles that are capable of targeting enemies sitting thousands of kilometers away, and their speed is many times faster than the speed of sound.
It is important to note that countries like Russia, the United States, India, and China possess missiles with ranges of 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers, capable of covering half the world. But do you know about the longest-range missile in the world? RS-28 SARMAT:
Russia's RS-28 SARMAT is the longest missile in terms of length. It is 35.5 meters long and weighs 208,100 kilograms. DONGFENG-5 missile:
The world's second longest missile is with China. China's DONGFENG-5 missile is 32.6 meters long and weighs 183,000 kilograms. R-36M2 missile
In terms of length, the world's third longest missile is also with Russia. Russia's R-36M2 missile is 32.2 meters long and weighs 209,600 kilograms. TAEPODONG-2 missile
In this list, North Korea's TAEPODONG-2 missile ranks fourth, with a length of 30 meters. At fifth place is China's DONGFENG-4, which is 28.5 meters long.

NAU PhD scholar selected as scientist at Isro
Surat: A forestry doctoral candidate at Navsari Agricultural University (NAU), Preeti Vats, has secured a position as a scientist at the Indian Space Research Organisation ( ISRO ) . She is set to commence her role at the Space Application Centre (SAC) in Ahmedabad in the coming week, where she will focus on India's forest management initiatives. Originally from a farming background in Tumbaheri village in Haryana's Jhajjar district, Vats earned her bachelor's degree from NAU's forestry college and completed her master's at Kerala Agricultural University (KAU). Currently, she is working towards her PhD in forest products and utilisation at NAU, supervised by Prof. SK Sinha. "After completing my post-graduate studies, I thought of going into state or national forest services by appearing in competitive jobs. I never thought of serving India's prestigious organisation ISRO. However, with the guidance of my mentors at NAU, I came to know that ISRO is looking for specialists in the forestry and ecology," she said. Preeti appeared for a written exam in December last year. "I will be joining SAC, Ahmedabad, where I am supposed to work on forest stand structure and forest stand dynamics using remote sensing and GIS technology," she added.

Preeti received the VC's Gold Medal in 2021 from NAU, Navsari, during her undergraduate studies. Preeti stated: "I would like to thank NAU, its faculty members, and colleagues for providing an excellent environment for academic excellence and encouragement." Additionally, Preeti receives a monthly Rs. 37,000 scholarship through the CSIR (JRF) for her PhD studies. Her father works as a farmer, her mother manages the household, and her brother serves in the Haryana police.

New Covid vaccine developed by USA researchers is ready to fight Coronavirus. How effective it is?
Amid fresh surge in Covid-19 cases, a team of US researchers has developed a new type of mRNA vaccine that is more scalable and adaptable to tackle continuously evolving viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and H5N1. While the currently available mRNA vaccines are highly effective at inducing an immune response against Covid , they present challenges like the high amount of mRNA needed to produce them and the constantly evolving nature of the pathogen. "The virus changes, moving the goal post, and updating the vaccine takes some time," said senior author Suresh Kuchipudi, chair of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health. To address these challenges, the researchers created a proof-of-concept Covid vaccine using what's known as a "trans-amplifying" mRNA platform. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pare a neuropatia: descubra como NeuroFit Undo In this approach, the mRNA is separated into two fragments -- the antigen sequence and the replicase sequence -- the latter of which can be produced in advance, saving crucial time in the event a new vaccine must be developed urgently and produced at scale. In addition, the researchers analysed the spike-protein sequences of all known variants of the SARS-CoV-2 for commonalities, rendering what's known as a "consensus spike protein" as the basis for the vaccine's antigen. Live Events In mice, the vaccine induced a robust immune response against many strains of SARS-CoV-2. "This has the potential for more lasting immunity that would not require updating, because the vaccine has the potential to provide broad protection," said Kuchipudi. "Additionally, this format requires an mRNA dose 40 times less than conventional vaccines, so this new approach significantly reduces the overall cost of the vaccine." The study, published in the journal npj Vaccines could inform more efficient vaccine development for other constantly evolving RNA viruses with pandemic potential, Kuchipudi said.
