The military will unveil the supersonic Hsiung-feng 3 brave wind ship to ship and the Tien kung 3 sky bow missiles at coming Wednesday’s national day parade, said Defence minister Lee tien-yu.

“They shrank the hard disk”
Physics Nobel for work that led to information technology breakthrough à
Stockholm: Albert Fert of France and Peter Grunberg of Germany won the physics nobel prize for their pioneering work that led to the miniaturized hard disc.
Professor Fert, 69, and Professor Grunburg, 68, were highly praised for their discovery in 1988 of a principle called giant magnetoresistance, or GMR.
It is considered as the first application of Nano technology. It leads to diminishing of electronic devices.
The first read-out head based on Fert and Gruenberg’s technology was launched in 1997, and has been a standard in industry since then.
Working independently, they discovered that minute magnetic changes, in materials made of very thin layers of various metallic elements, lead to huge differences in electrical resistance. These differences lead to changes in the current in the readout head, which scans a hard disc to spot the ones and zeros in which the data are stored. The read out head isthus able to read smaller and weaker magnetic areas and this sensitivity means more information can be packed more densely on the hard disc.

“102 litres of petrol, boat spares seized”
Ramanathapuram: Marine commandos of the Indian navy on Friday seized 102 litres of petrol and a bag of boat spares near Kothandaramar Temple, a remote beachfront in Rameswaram.

He said that all mechanized and country boats of the place operated on diesel. Petrol could not be used in the beachfront area. This showed that it was meant to smuggled into Srilanka.
