Published: Jan 26 2025, 5 pmeznews.inThe Tamil Nadu government's recent decision to replace the Indian rupee symbol with a new logo, the Tamil alphabet 'Ru', has sparked significant political controversy amid ongoing language tensions. Chief Minister MK Stalin unveiled the logo during the Budget 2025-26 presentation, attracting sharp criticism from the Opposition, particularly the Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which deemed the move "condemnable and laughable." Ironically, the original rupee symbol was designed by Tamilian D. Udaya Kumar in 2010, selected from over 3,000 entries, blending Indian and Roman letters to symbolize the currency. Currently a professor at IIT Guwahati, Kumar expressed pride in his creation but emphasized that designers must be prepared for criticism, stating that he views the government's decision as a challenge rather than a slight against his work. His design incorporates elements reflecting the national flag and the concept of equality, officially adopted on July 15, 2010.

Published: Mar 14 2025, 1 pmeznews.inIn a groundbreaking achievement, researchers have successfully transformed light into a "supersolid," marking a significant advancement in physics. This innovative phase of matter, which merges the properties of solids and superfluids, was detailed in a study published in _Nature_ on March 5. The team, including co-author Iacopo Carusotto from the National Institute of Optics, describes the supersolid as a fluid of coherent quantum droplets arranged in a stable spatial configuration, capable of flowing without disturbances. This discovery has the potential to revolutionize fields such as quantum computing, materials science, and energy storage. Senior researcher Dimitrios Trypogeorgos emphasized that this represents a novel approach to supersolidity, while Daniele Sanvitto noted its significance in bridging fundamental science with practical applications. Co-author Dario Gerace highlighted the potential for exploring the unique properties of this state in semiconductor nanostructures, paving the way for new light-emitting devices.
