The land of Gorkhali, Nepal Takes on Climate Change: Investing in Renewable Energy, Forest Preservation, and Sustainable Tourism

The land of Gorkhali & the birth place of Buddha, Nepal - As a country that is home to Mount Everest and the Himalayas, Nepal is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. However, Nepal can also play an important role in mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change.Nepal has significant potential for hydroelectric power, solar power, and wind power. By investing in renewable energy sources, Nepal can reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and decrease its carbon footprint. In a recent statement, Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli announced plans to increase the share of renewable energy in Nepal's energy mix to 30% by 2025. 



Nepal is also home to some of the world's most extensive forest areas, which play a vital role in carbon sequestration and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By protecting and restoring these forests, Nepal can help mitigate the effects of climate change. The government of Nepal has also implemented programs to reduce deforestation and promote sustainable forest management. Tourism is a crucial part of Nepal's economy, and sustainable tourism practices can help reduce the environmental impact of this industry. By promoting sustainable tourism practices, Nepal can reduce the ecological footprint of tourism while maintaining economic growth. The government of Nepal has also implemented measures to reduce the environmental impact of mountaineering and trekking. Nepal can also build resilience to the effects of climate change through the adoption of adaptation measures such as building climate-resilient infrastructure and enhancing disaster preparedness. The government of Nepal has launched various initiatives to promote climate resilience, including the Climate Resilient Agriculture Program and the National Adaptation Plan. Finally, Nepal can play a significant role in advocating for global action to address climate change. By participating in international climate negotiations, raising awareness about the impacts of climate change, and promoting global cooperation, Nepal can contribute to global efforts to combat climate change. Moreover, Nepal has an important role to play in overcoming climate change. By promoting renewable energy, preserving forests, promoting sustainable tourism, building resilience to climate change, and advocating for global action, Nepal can contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future for itself and the world.

Google Quantum AI Takes Step Towards climbable Quantum Error Correction

Google Quantum AI has taken a significant step forward in the development of scalable quantum error correction, according to a new study published by the company. Quantum computers are prone to errors due to noise from the underlying physical system, which must be reduced for quantum computers to achieve their potential. One way to address this is through error-correcting codes, which use an ensemble of physical qubits to form a logical qubit that can detect and correct errors without affecting information. However, scaling up such systems means manipulating more qubits, which can introduce more logical errors. To address this challenge, the Google team demonstrated that a surface code logical qubit can lower error rates as the system size increases. They created a superconducting quantum processor with 72 qubits and tested it with two different surface codes: a distance-5 logical qubit on 49 physical qubits and smaller ones called distance-3 logical qubits on 17 physical qubits. The l...

A New Researcher Develop an Economic Fabrication Technology for Carbon Nanotube-Based Composite Carbon Fibers

Carbon fibers are known for their exceptional mechanical properties, including high strength, stiffness, and resistance to deformation, making them highly sought after in various industries. Carbon nanotubes are known to further enhance these properties, but commercializing them has been challenging due to the high cost of production.  However, a recent study proposes a solution to this problem by developing an economic fabrication technology for carbon nanotube-based composite carbon fibers. The researchers focused on the use of a liquid crystalline wet-spinning process to produce polymer-carbon nanotube composite fibers that are highly oriented and possess superior modulus, strength, and electrical conductivity. The solvent used in this process is camphorsulfonic acid (CSA), which has extremely high acidity and readily protonates aromatic hydrocarbons. This allowed for the hybridization of CNTs and the polymer without the need for physical or chemical treatment. High-performance ...

How to install siesta(DFT code) in ubuntu?

  Required libraries to download Siesta-4.1-b4.tar  (Try to download upgrade version) with some package ● lapack-3.8.0.tar.gz ● libgridxc-0.8.4.tar ● Xmlf90-1.5.4.tar.gz ● hdf5-1.8.21.tar.bz2 ● hdf5-1.10.4.tar.gz ● netcdf-c-4.6.1.tar.gz ● netcdf-c-4.6.2.tar.gz ● netcdf-fortran-4.4.4.tar.gz ● zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz Steps to install siesta ●First extract the siesta tar file. ●Then through the terminal go to Obj of siesta folder. (i.e$obj ) ● $sh ../Src/obj_setup.sh ● Type $cp gfortran.make arch.make ● Type ls, then we saw arch.make file inside obj folder of siesta. ● Finally, type $make Then we got siesta executable inside Obj folder which is ready to run. https://youtu.be/EI1vuPfeLPs
