Science & Technology MCQs

The demonstration involved a QKD link established over a distance of approximately 150 kilometers using existing fiber infrastructure.

QKD uses the principles of quantum mechanics to ensure secure communication, making it theoretically impossible to intercept or hack without detection.

The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) successfully demonstrated the pilot Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) network.

AI significantly reduces the time and financial resources required to screen millions of compounds to find viable drug candidates.

ADDoPT utilizes deep learning algorithms and molecular docking simulations to predict how potential drug molecules interact with biological targets.

The platform is known as ADDoPT (Advanced Drug Discovery Platform for Therapeutics), aimed at accelerating the identification of drug candidates.

EOS-08 carries three payloads: EOIR, GNSS-R, and SiC UV Dosimeter. It does not carry a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).

The primary objective of EOS-08 is to design and develop a microsatellite and create payload instruments compatible with the microsatellite bus.

EOS-08 was launched aboard the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV-D3) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.

By providing robust computing infrastructure and fostering an ecosystem, the mission aims to boost domestic AI startups, research, and overall adoption.
