DigiBoxx: India's First Indigenous Digital Asset Management Platform
CEO of NITI Aayog Amitabh Kant virtually launched India's first digital asset management platform DigiBoxx.
Kant also signed up for an account, making him the first user of an Indian digital file storage, sharing and management SaaS product that provides storage options for business as well as individual users.
The platform provides an easy and secure way to store all the files in one centralised location.
This is indigenous innovation at its best. I have always maintained that the Indian tech industry can be globally competitive in all aspects and Digiboxx is such an example. It ticks all the rights boxes for India Inc's needs but also fills a gap for the MSME universe which is untapped.

New Green Mineral Discovered in 220-Year-old Rock
An "amazing" new type of mineral has been discovered by scientists analysing a rock mined in Cornwall about 220 years ago.
The dark green mineral has been named kernowite after Kernow, the Cornish language word for Cornwall.
A group led by Natural History Museum (NHM) mineralogist Mike Rumsey made the discovery while studying a rock taken from Wheal Gorland mine in St Day.
As per Rumsey, it is amazing that in 2020 we are adding a new mineral.
For centuries, mineralogists believed the green crystals to be a variation of another mineral, liroconite, but Mr Rumsey and his team found it has a different chemical composition.
Blue liroconite is highly prized by collectors around the world, and the majority of it comes from the Wheal Gorland site.

SLS: Crucial Test for NASA's Mega-rocket
The core of a giant NASA rocket that will return astronauts to the moon has undergone a crucial test.
For the first time, engineers fully loaded a core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with super-cold liquid propellant, controlled it and then drained the tanks.
That propellant is fuel and an oxidizer — a chemical that makes the fuel burn.
Engineers wanted to check things worked as expected before the SLS makes its maiden flight in about a year's time.
It was part of a testing programme known as the Green Run that is being carried out at NASA's Stennis Space Center, near Bay St Louis in Mississippi.
This evaluation, known as the wet dress rehearsal (WDR), was the seventh of eight tests on the core stage.

NASA and Canada Sign 'Gateway Treaty'
Canada has signed an agreement with the United States to send a Canadian astronaut around the moon as part of a broader effort to establish a new space station above the lunar surface.
Industry Minister Navdeep Bains unveiled the new Gateway Treaty, which formalises Canada's involvement in the U.S.-led effort to build that new station known as the Lunar Gateway.
The treaty includes a commitment to having a Canadian on board when the U.S. conducts a manned flyby of the moon in 2023, as well as a second yet-to-be-scheduled flight to the future station.
Canada will join the U.S. on the first crewed mission to the moon since the Apollo missions.
Launching in 2023, a Canadian Space Agency astronaut will be part of Artemis 2, the first mission to carry humans to lunar orbit in over 50 years. This will make Canada only the second country after the U.S. to have an astronaut in deep space.
