While surveying gecko populations in northeastern India, researchers stumbled upon these unique reptiles with wide-open eyes and a cheerful grin. Dubbed “parachute geckos” due to their gliding behavior from tree to tree, these mini-lizards have been officially named Gekko mizoramensis.

These geckos have distinct characteristics that differentiate them from other types of parachute geckos, some of which can glide for impressive distances of up to 200 feet. The researchers found that Gekko mizoramensis are noct...

 The great Indian scientist Sir CV Raman had discovered the Raman Effect, which is worldwide used for research & finding drugs hidden inside luggage at customs. National Science Day is celebrated on 28th February every year to commemorate the discovery of the Raman Effect by CV Raman. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in 1930. The day is celebrated to create awareness about scientific developments and discoveries that have taken place over the years and how they have impacted our lives.  It also provides a platform for students, teachers, scientists, and researchers to come together and discuss new ideas and trends in science. We should use this day to honor all those who have worked hard and dedicated their lives to advancing scientific knowledge. Let us take this opportunity to celebrate National Science Day with enthusiasm! Who Was Sir CV Raman?
