■ DESALINATION PLANT.

#Alternativetech #GS3

In the latest development, Maharashtra announced the setting up of a desalination plant in Mumbai, becoming the fourth state in the country to experiment with the
idea.

□ ABOUT DESALINATION PLANT

◇ A desalination plant turns salt water into water that is fit to drink.

◇ These plants are mostly set up in areas that have access to sea water.

□ TECH USED IN THIS PLANT :-

◇ The most commonly used technology for the process is reverse osmosis where external pressure is applied to push solvents from an area of high-solute concentration to an area of low-solute concentration through a membrane.

◇ The microscopic pores in the membranes allow water molecules through but leave salt and most other impurities behind, releasing clean water from the other side.

□ The following states are using the technology:-

◇ Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Andhra pradesh.

■ LARGEST SOLAR TREE IN INDIA.

#Alternativetech #GS3

Scientists at the Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute (CMERI) in West Bengal have installed a ‘solar tree’ that is likely to be the largest of its kind in the world.

□ ABOUT SOLAR TREE:-

◇ A solar tree is a structure resembling a tree that has solar panels fitted on the branches.

◇ The solar panels connected through branches produce solar power.

◇ The working of a solar tree is much like that of a real one—leaf-like solar panels connected through metal branches using sunlight to make energy.

◇ The Solar tree panels charge batteries during the day. At dusk, the tree automatically switches on LED lights. It is programmed to regulate the amount of light it produces.

◇ Solar trees are flexible and rotate to face the sun and produce the maximum possible amount of energy using a technique called “spiraling phyllataxy”.

■ PEGASUS SPYWARE


It has been reported that Pegasus, the malicious software, has allegedly been used to secretly monitor and spy on an extensive host of public figures in India.

□ ABOUT :-

◇ It is a type of malicious software or malware classified as a spyware.

◇ It is designed to gain access to devices, without the knowledge of users, and gather personal information and relay it back to whoever it is that is using the software to spy.

◇ Pegasus has been developed by the Israeli firm NSO Group that was set up in 2010.

◇ The earliest version of Pegasus discovered, which was captured by researchers in 2016, infected phones through what is called spear-phishing – text messages or emails that trick a target into clicking on a malicious link.

◇ Since then, however, NSO’s attack capabilities have become more advanced. Pegasus infections can be achieved through so-called “zero-click” attacks, which do not require any interaction from the phone’s owner in order to succeed.
