Репост из: VK IAS (UPSC Highlights) by Vikas kanukollu (VK)
Sarika- She was Just like most of us, Vulnerable, stressed , lot of moments with self doubt yet in the end her faith in her process and overcoming self doubt helped her come a long way! Congratulations Sarika- I hope this relatable story gives you a direction if you are stuck🙂 Also her experience from failures must help you learn. In reality there is very little difference between top 10 ranks and those who ended up in the remaining ranks in terms of capabilities- your sense of clarity, state of mind and conviction play a huge role. Please do watch this video

Kaushik merugu - AIR 82 cracked this exam in the very first attempt- what sets him apart is his wisdom.

✅What is Goldene?

🅾️ It is a single-atom-thick sheet of gold, making it the world's thinnest gold leaf.

👉🏻Read about graphene here-

🅾️Scientists have been trying to make 2D sheets of metals like this for a long time

🅾️Sensing different chemicals and substanc
es-Catalysis - speeding up chemical reactions (like splitting water for clean energy).

⚠️Why is it significant?- Gold at this thinness has completely new properties, unlike the gold we usually think of.Bulk gold is 3D, with atoms arranged in all directions. Goldene is 2D, where atoms are confined to a single flat sheet. This fundamental difference in structure can dramatically alter its electrical, optical, and chemical behavior-can lead to new electronic properties, potentially making goldene more efficient at conducting electricity or interacting with light in specific ways.

🅾️One of the purest emotions is genuine appreciation for someone who surpasses you. In life's dark moments, feeling true happiness for a friend's success is priceless🙂.

⚜️Dear rankers, if you have such people in your life, cherish them. This hype fades, but true support endures. Your circles will naturally shift – that's growth. But when those who supported you face darkness, be their light, however small. It means the world to them. Let us all make this nation a better place to live because koi bhi desh perfect nahi hota hai- you know the rest....🙂

To the person who inspires this message: You are not alone. I respect your privacy, but I promise a day in the future where things look bright again, at least I will try🙂. This post is my testament, a reminder for us both when you are okay again..

This is dedicated to all fighters amongst us. Thank you for inspiring me. Your story will be shared when the time is right. Until then, let us work in silence- it defines us🙂

Sincerely, VK

✅Semiconductors manufacturing Technology

🅾️What is a semiconductor chip? How is it manufactured?

⚜️A semiconductor has properties between a conductor (which conducts electricity) and an insulator (which does not). In its purest form a semiconductor is a very weak conductor of electricity.

⚜️However, its electrical properties can be changed by adding small amounts of certain substances called ‘dopants’. By taking a pure semiconductor and carefully injecting certain parts with specific dopants, complex circuits can be ‘printed’ on the semiconductor.
