This successful test significantly bolsters India's indigenous capability to counter long-range aerial threats, thereby enhancing its overall ballistic missile defence capabilities.

The Next-Gen LR-SAM is designed to provide air defence by intercepting various aerial threats, including aircraft, drones, and ballistic missiles, at long ranges.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully tested the Next-Gen Long-Range Surface-to-Air Missile.

The development and trials aim to significantly boost the Indian Navy's operational capabilities by providing a modern, indigenous fighter capable of operating from aircraft carriers.

The maiden trials of the indigenous deck-based fighter were conducted on India's first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant.

The Indian Navy conducted maiden trials of the indigenous Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF) aircraft, developed by HAL.

Quantum computers are particularly well-suited for simulating complex molecular interactions, which is crucial for drug discovery, materials science, and chemical engineering.

Quantum superposition allows a qubit to exist in a combination of states (0 and 1) simultaneously, enabling quantum computers to explore many solutions in parallel.

A qubit (quantum bit) is the basic unit of quantum information, analogous to a bit in classical computing, but capable of existing in multiple states simultaneously due to superposition.

AI tools are highly effective in analyzing medical images and tissue samples, making them invaluable assistants for radiologists (interpreting scans) and pathologists (analyzing biopsies).
