MUMBAI: Twenty two students from the state have scored a perfect 100 percentile in the Maharashtra Technical Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET) for engineering and agriculture undergraduate courses, whose results were declared on Monday. However, the number has dropped compared to last year, when 37 students achieved the top percentile. Of the 22 students who topped the exam, 14 are already on track to secure admission into various Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Four of the top scorers are from outside Maharashtra, while another four plan to use their CET scores to gain admission to engineering colleges within the state. The MHT-CET exam for the Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) group was conducted across 28 sessions, between April 19 and May 5. Of the 4,64,263 students who registered for the PCM group, 4,22,863 took the exam. The Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) group examination was held from April 22 to 30. Of the 3,14,675 registered students, 2,95,577 took the test. The results of the PCB group will be declared on Tuesday. Many of the CET toppers also performed exceptionally well in the JEE Advanced examination, conducted for admission to undergraduate programmes in the IITs and NITs. Siddhant Ghate from Powai, who secured 100 percentile in the CET, said that preparing for the JEE Advanced exam made the CET relatively easy. 'I focused on a higher level of preparation for the JEE. That helped me clear both the JEE Mains and CET smoothly,' he said. Ghate secured an All-India Rank (AIR) of 243 in the JEE Advanced exam and is aiming for admission to IIT Kanpur for computer science engineering. Anirudh Iyer from Chembur also scored 100 percentile in the CET and ranked 198 in the JEE Advanced. A former student of Somaiya School, Iyer said, 'My interest lies in physics and I want to pursue research. I'm trying to get into IIT-Bombay or IISc for physics.' Among the top scorers from Mumbai and Thane are Pranav Mintri, Vipul Meer and Arnav Nigam. Mintri, who achieved AIR 141 in JEE Advanced, is seeking admission to IIT-Bombay. Meer, a student of Cathedral School in Mumbai, secured AIR 69 and hopes to join IIT-Delhi. Arnav Nigam, who lives in Goregaon and studied at Vibgyor High School, secured AIR 11 in JEE Advanced.

Scientists develop game-changing method to generate energy from gentle breeze: 'What excites us most is the simplicity'
Researchers from India are demonstrating that harnessing wind power only requires a flutter. It's a stark contrast to the "world's largest" turbine accomplishments in China and elsewhere. "Yet, there is a quieter, more compact option: a slender strip of material fluttering in the breeze, capable of converting ambient airflow into usable electrical energy," the experts from the Indian Institutes of Technology wrote in a summary published by Tech Xplore. And while the small-scale breeze catchers won't be powering cities, the team said they could energize sensors and lights in remote settings and hard-to-reach areas. The key is slim polymer sheets that are used as piezoelectric materials. They can convert flutters, or vibrations from ambient air, into electricity. The team's blueprint isn't overly complicated, per the report. "Our work focuses on a simple idea: attach a flexible plate with a piezoelectric sheet to the downstream side of a cylinder and expose it to wind. As wind flows past the cylinder, it causes the attached plate to flutter — much like a flag," they wrote. Experts around the world are working on ways to harness unique energy sources. Students in France built turnstiles in a metro station that generated electricity from everyday human movement, powering nearby TV screens as people passed through. An international research team is studying how to generate voltage as low winds pass over water droplets. The team did some tweaking to the sheets to improve the device, generating more energy. It's thanks to "a resonance phenomenon where the oscillation frequency of the plate synchronizes with the frequency of vortex shedding," the experts said. The device was able to light 20 LEDs continuously, and 40 momentarily, with stored charge. The inventive energy generation is part of the overall shift to a cleaner future without reliance on heat-trapping fossil fuels. NASA has linked the fumes those energy sources produce to increased risks for severe weather — blackout-causing storms that are more damaging and frequent. Should the government be paying us to upgrade our homes? Definitely Depends on how much it costs Depends on what it's for No way Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Anyone can participate in the switch at home by investing in solar panel tech. It's a move that provides the average American household around $700 in annual savings, after expenses, according to a government study. EnergySage, a free online tool, is a reliable ally that can make sure you secure all the incentives and find the right installer, saving up to $10,000 on the installation. In the end, you can reduce or eliminate your power bill. Community solar is an option to tap the sun's power from a nearby solar farm via a subscription plan. You can save up to $150 a year on your utility bill without installing tech at home. In India, the researchers said they still have some improvements to make to the low-speed wind setup to prepare it for practical use. "What excites us most is the simplicity and scalability of this approach. Unlike traditional turbines, these harvesters have no rotating parts, minimal maintenance needs, and can be easily integrated into urban or natural environments. As the world seeks smarter, smaller, and cleaner ways to generate energy, this flutter-powered harvester may just have the wind at its back," the team wrote.
