      Germany: Coradia iLint, World’s first passenger train powered by hydrogen

      Trains across the world are operated using diesel, coal, electricity, and magnetic levitation as a source of power. But Germany unveiled a new hydrogen-powered train named Coradia iLint. French multinational Alstom supplied the trains to the Lower Saxony Transport Authority (LNVG ) in Germany. These trains produce zero-emission as they emit only steam and condensed water. The hydrogen fuel cells installed on the roof of the train combine with oxygen atoms present in the air to generate electricity. According to the Lower Saxony Transport Authority, replacing the hydrogen train with diesel locomotives will cut down 4,400 tonnes of CO2 released every year in Germany. The trains will run on LNVG’s 60-mile track which connects Cuxhaven, Bremerhaven, Bremervoerde, and Buxtehude cities in Germany. LNVG has spent…

      Kobe Bryant widow awarded USD 16 million in trial over crash photos 

       Kobe Bryant’s widow was awarded USD 16 million as part of a USD 31 million jury verdict Wednesday against Los Angeles County for deputies and firefighters sharing grisly photos of the NBA star, his 13-year-old daughter and other victims killed in a 2020 helicopter crash. The nine jurors unanimously agreed with Vanessa Bryant and her attorneys that the photos invaded her privacy and caused emotional distress. She cried quietly as it was read. The jury deliberated 4 1/2 hours before reaching the verdict on Kobe Bryant Day, which is celebrated in LA on August 24 because it represents his jersey numbers — 8 and 24 — and is the day after his birthday. Tuesday would have been Bryant’s 44th birthday.…

      Cairo: Egypt’s supply minister Aly Moselhy on Monday said that the deal to buy wheat from India still stands, but there is no clarity on when the grain will be shipped.

      NASA says they’ve picked up actual sound from space for first time

      Hyderabad: A few thousand years ago, humans were trying to make wheels and spark a fire from stones without any knowledge about what lies beyond a few miles. Today, forget about miles, we are aware of what lies beyond this planet. Recent declarations by NASA suggest that they have picked up sound waves from space. This marks a new chapter in the journey of understanding sound in space. In a tweet by NASA Exoplanets, the official page of NASA’s missions, they say that the sound waves have been picked up from a cluster of galaxies. Debunking the common understanding of sound in space, they said, “The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a vacuum,…
