About MoU
About
• These firefly-like robots weigh barely
more than a paperclip, and they can be
tracked using the light they emit and
three smartphone cameras. The robots’
wings are controlled by soft actuators or
artificial muscles, which are fabricated
from electroluminescent elastomer
actuators.

flight mission.
• ISRO Inertial Systems Unit (IISU) has
successfully integrated it with a computer
‘brain’ which enables it to ‘read’ control
panels aboard the unmanned test flights
and communicate with the ISRO ground
stations.
MICRO-SWIMMERS
Researchers have developed a microbot made from the two-dimensional
compound poly (heptazine imide) carbon nitride (aka PHI carbon nitride).
About
• Micro-swimmers’ may soon help with
drug delivery.
• These microbots are like miniaturized
humans.
• They range from 1-to 10 micrometres in
size and can self-propel when energized
by shining light.

FLEX FUEL
About
About
• Lower operational costs as a
result of hydrogen's high energy
density and efficiency.
• Meet climate change targets by
decarbonizing transportation.
HYDROGEN FUEL CELL
About
• POP-FAME - Polycyclopropanated
fatty acid methyl ester, is a new
fuel molecule composed of seven
cyclopropane rings.
• Cyclopropane is produced naturally
by bacteria in the Streptomyces
family.
POP-FAME
About
About:
• It is a byproduct of steel production,
formed during the separation of
molten steel from impurities in steel-
making furnaces.
STEEL SLAG
About
• Steel slags are also used in agriculture
due to their ability to correct soil
acidity.
• It contains nutrients for the plants as
well as silicate fertilizer, which can
provide silicon to the plants.
