In the quest for ever-colder temperatures, NASA is sending an apparatus to the International Space Station that will create a spot 10 billion times colder than the vacuum of space. It's called the  Cold Atom Laboratory , a payload about the size of an ice chest aboard Orbital ATK's Cygnus rocket, and it will help scientists observe the weird quantum properties of ultra-cold atoms. A combination of lasers and magnets will be used to chill and slow a cloud of atoms to just a fraction above absolute zero, also known as zero Kelvin (-273.15 Celsius or -459.67 Fahrenheit). Absolute zero is the coldest temperature in the Universe - and  impossible to achieve , because at that point, atoms stop moving. But the Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) can cool clouds of atoms to just one-tenth of a billion of a degree above absolute zero, which causes them to move extremely slowly, exhibiting microscopic quantum phenomena. These clouds are called Bose-Einstein condensates. They can b

  Jet Airways   India is not ruling out looking at the sale of loss-making national carrier Air India, its chairman said, although he remains focused on his own airline. "We are looking at our own business,”   Naresh Goyal   said in an interview in Manchester, England. “But I am not saying that we will not look at Air India, I’ve never said that. Ultimately we will always see what is the best approach ahead of us, and for the country.” Jet Airways’s comments come after IndiGo, the only airline to have publicly shown interest in buying parts of Air India, said it’s   no longer keen on the airline   +   , which has been put on the block after a taxpayer-funded bailout failed to stem losses. A successful conclusion is crucial for Prime Minister   Narendra Modi   to cement his credentials as a proponent of free markets.

State-run  Punjab National Bank  ( PNB ) has refused to disclose details of the audit or investigation that led to detection of over Rs 13,000 crore fraud at the company, citing a clause that bars any disclosure that can impede the process of investigating or apprehending the offenders. In reply to an RTI query, the state-owned bank also declined to share copy of inspection reports related to the scam. "Since the matter is under investigation by the central investigating agency/agencies/law enforcement agency, providing of the desired information is exempted under Section 8 (1) (h) of the Right to Information Act, 2005," the PNB said in reply to the Right To Information application filed by a PTI correspondent. The section bars disclosure of information which would impede the process of investigation or apprehension or prosecution of offenders. The bank was asked to provide details of inspection that resulted in detection of the fraud and provide copy of inspection report
