MIT Scientists Discover Heat Behaves Like Sound Waves In A 'Rare State Of Matter' - News18
==========
Scientists from MIT have discovered that in certain states of matter, heat can behave like a sound wave, a phenomenon known as the 'second sound'. This behavior has only been observed in a few materials. The researchers used particles that repel each other and created a superfluid state of matter where atoms have no friction. They observed that heat and matter 'slosh' against each other, creating oscillations similar to sound waves. The study, led by Martin Zwierlein, a professor of Physics at MIT, helps scientists understand the nature of heat in superfluids and other related materials.

High Fiscal Deficit, CAD, Double-Digit Inflation Before 2014: Govt Compares UPA Vs NDA In White Paper On Economy
==========
The 'White Paper on the Indian Economy' compares the economic performance of the UPA government and the NDA government. The UPA government had a high fiscal deficit, a high current account deficit, a mountain of bad loans in the banking sector, and double-digit inflation for five years. The UPA government also demonstrated that it is easier to hurt the economy than it is to help it. In contrast, the NDA government under PM Modi has restored the vitality of the economy. The Modi government strategically addressed the root cause of high inflation and made efforts to control the high external sector vulnerability. The NDA government managed the current account prudently and increased forex reserves from $303 billion in March 2014 to $617 billion in January 2024. The Modi government also transformed India's fiscal system to restore public finances to good health. The UPA government failed to facilitate economic activities and exploited the fast economic growth for narrow political purposes without much concern for long-term economic consequences.

Investing Across Borders: Benefits Of International Mutual Funds In A Portfolio
==========
Investors are increasingly acknowledging the significance of diversification beyond domestic markets and the pivotal role of international mutual funds in comprehensive financial planning. International funds offer geographic diversification, reducing the impact of regional economic downturns or market volatilities. They also provide access to global growth opportunities and act as a hedge against currency risk and inflation. International portfolios offer exposure to sectors and industries that may be underrepresented in domestic markets. However, investors must consider factors such as risk tolerance, investment goals, and regulatory and economic conditions when allocating funds. International mutual funds are a powerful tool for diversifying portfolios and navigating the complexities of the international financial landscape.
