In which city did QpiAI inaugurate its 8-inch quantum foundry in August 2026?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Bengaluru is the city where QpiAI inaugurated its 8-inch quantum foundry on August 19, 2026. The facility is located within a newly opened 70,000 sq ft R&D centre and is designed for semiconductor-scale manufacturing of advanced quantum processors. It aims to produce processors containing up to 10,000 physical qubits, a major increase from QpiAI’s existing 128-qubit capability. The facility will support the mass production of quantum processors for high-performance computing and the development of specialised quantum-AI solutions. Bengaluru, Karnataka, is also the headquarters of QpiAI, a full-stack quantum computing startup.

Which deep-tech startup launched the indigenous iron-air battery pilot project at NTPC Simhadri Thermal Power Station?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Meine Electric launched a utility-scale pilot of its indigenous iron-air battery technology at the NTPC Simhadri Thermal Power Station on August 17, 2026. The project is being executed by the Atal Incubation Centre–Anna University, with Meine Electric serving as the technology partner. The battery features a six-hour charging cycle followed by an 18-hour discharge cycle and is designed for long-duration energy storage. The pilot aims to evaluate technical performance and operational reliability under real-world utility conditions while supporting 24x7 clean power and greater grid flexibility. Iron-air batteries use iron, oxygen, and water through a reversible rusting process.

Which institute developed a nutrient-assisted two-stage cultivation process for enhanced CO2 capture and bioenergy production?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
IIT Guwahati developed a nutrient-assisted two-stage cultivation process designed to enhance carbon dioxide capture and bioenergy production using microalgae. In the first stage, microalgal cultures are grown under 15% CO2 to support rapid growth and carbon availability. In the second stage, the CO2 concentration is reduced to 5%, while calcium and phosphorus are added to stabilise pH and improve biomass aggregation. The process achieved 25.7% higher biomass production and 35.4% higher CO2 fixation. Calcium also enabled auto-sedimentation, resulting in 98.46% biomass recovery efficiency and reducing energy requirements for downstream separation.

By which year does India aim to achieve 100 GWe of nuclear energy capacity?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
India aims to scale its nuclear energy capacity to 100 GWe by 2047 under the Nuclear Energy Mission announced in the Union Budget 2025-26. The roadmap focuses on developing a self-reliant nuclear energy ecosystem and encouraging private sector participation. India also plans to develop and operationalise at least five indigenous Small Modular Reactors by 2033, including the 220 MWe Bharat Small Modular Reactor and the 55 MWe SMR-55. The SHANTI Act, 2025, provides a legislative framework for private participation while strengthening nuclear safety regulation. The long-term strategy also follows India’s three-stage nuclear programme and promotes nuclear medicine infrastructure.
