India will be big technology innovator in next decade (2)
Tantalizing glimpses of how technology that is developed by Indians is already empowering and enabling millions were provided at the conclave. Pontin talked about how Technology Review's annual list of technologists who could change the world is increasingly being dominated by Indians.
In 2004, there was Vikram Sheel Kumar, founder of Dimagi - a unique combination of engineering and medicine. Kumar is an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi and the Harvard Medical School. His software products have encouraged compliance from diabetic patients and removed stigma from HIV/AIDS testing.
Then in 2007, Tapan Pareek's work, which helped Kerala fishermen keep track of market prices on their cell phones, was highlighted. This year, it's the turn of computer science professor Vivek Pai to turn out a technology that will help store web content to enable poor students in developing nations beat bad net connections.
As can be seen from the examples above, the nature of the technologies emerging from innovation labs around the world today is completely democratic, having the power to touch billions - the literate and the unlettered, the affluent as well as those at the bottom of the pyramid.
If the Indian innovators, tuned to the needs of the less advantaged in their country, are coming out with technologies to address this space, then large multinational corporations, admittedly driven by marketing compulsions, are also now focusing on this segment.

India will be big technology innovator in next decade (1)
Good morning friends. it’s a good thinking that India will be a big technology innovator in next decade. That means something. For sure Indian people will benefit on that. With reference to The Economic Times, India from being a service providing nation, India is finally indicating its arrival as a knowledge-creating nation, as befitting a country that centuries ago was the original fount of all knowledge.
Economists have been predicting it, stargazers have been forecasting it, and now the technology trend watchers are saying it - the coming decade is Surely going to belong to India.
Jason Pontin, the charismatic editor and publisher of MIT's "Technology Review" - the publication of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - confidently proclaims that India is going to dominate the innovation space.
This is why the 109-year old magazine has launched an edition in the country. "I want to be the first to tell the world about the action in the labs here."
Economists may predict superpower status for India based on its growth figures and the economy's resilience in the face of global downturn. But the motor of this growth will be investments in science and technology, believe experts.
At EmTech2009, an emerging technologies conclave recently hosted in New Delhi by Technology Review and CyberMedia, the exciting forecast is that India's knowledge superpower domain is all set to extend beyond the field of IT.
Areas where India is seen making major inroads include healthcare, education, biomaterials and nano-technology. From being a service providing nation, India is finally heralding its arrival as a knowledge-creating nation, as befitting a country that centuries ago was the original fount of all knowledge.

ESA spacecraft sees 'eerie glow' in night-time atmosphere of Venus (2)
On the night-side, where atoms are transported by a vigorous diurnal circulation, the glow can be seen with appropriate instruments, such as VIRTIS.
A nitric oxide nightglow in the infrared has never been observed in the atmospheres of Mars or Earth, although it is known that the necessary nitric oxide molecules are present because they have been observed in ultraviolet.
The nightglow on Venus has been seen at infrared wavelengths before, betraying oxygen molecules and the hydroxyl radical, but this is the first detection of nitric oxide at those wavelengths.
It offers data about the atmosphere of Venus that lies above the cloud tops at around 70 km. The oxygen and hydroxyl emissions come from 90-100 km, whereas the nitric oxide comes from 110-120 km altitude. Yet, even VIRTIS cannot see the nitric oxide nightglow all the time because it is often just too faint.
"Luckily for us, Venus has a temperamental atmosphere. Packets of oxygen and nitrogen atoms are blown around."
Sometimes, these become dense enough to boost the brightness of the nightglow, making it visible to VIRTIS.The VIRTIS team plans to continue monitoring the planet, building up a database of this fascinating phenomenon. (ANI)
