π Geopolitics in the South China Sea
π Why in Focus?
β The 10th anniversary of the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award has renewed focus on Chinaβs expansive maritime claims and the future of the rules-based Indo-Pacific order
π 2016 Arbitral Award
β The Philippines initiated arbitration under UNCLOS in 2013
β The tribunal held that Chinaβs claims to historic rights within the Nine-Dash Line had no legal basis under UNCLOS
β It found that Chinese land reclamation had caused serious damage to the marine environment
β China rejected the award and continues to favour bilateral negotiations with claimant states
π Why is the South China Sea Important?
β Strategic: Critical maritime space connecting the Pacific and Indian Oceans
β Economic: A major route for global maritime trade and international supply chains
β Resources: Contains significant hydrocarbon resources and rich fishing grounds
β Security: Growing militarisation and submarine operations have increased its strategic importance
β Legal: Disputes test the credibility of UNCLOS and international dispute-settlement mechanisms
π Implications for India
β A significant share of Indiaβs maritime trade traverses the wider South China SeaβMalacca Strait corridor
β Stability in the region is crucial for Indiaβs Act East Policy and engagement with ASEAN
β Growing Chinese naval capabilities can facilitate greater deployments into the Indian Ocean Region
β India supports freedom of navigation, unimpeded lawful commerce and peaceful dispute resolution under international law
β Defence cooperation with countries such as the Philippines and Vietnam strengthens Indiaβs regional strategic engagement
π Way Forward for India
β Strengthen Maritime Domain Awareness through regional and Quad partnerships
β Enhance defence capacity-building and maritime cooperation with ASEAN countries
β Upgrade strategic infrastructure in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands
β Support ASEAN centrality and an effective South China Sea Code of Conduct consistent with international law
β Maintain strategic balance by combining deterrence, diplomacy and adherence to UNCLOS
π Mains Question
β While the South China Sea holds strategic importance for India, navigating complex geopolitical dynamics and managing challenges posed by Chinese assertiveness require a careful and nuanced approach. Elaborate. (250 Words)

π Borophene-Based Green Lubricant
π Why in News?
β Scientists from the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST), Guwahati have demonstrated the use of borophene as a high-performance lubricant additive in castor oil
π About Borophene
β A two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial consisting of a single atomic layer of boron atoms
β Key properties include high mechanical strength, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, chemical stability and superior load-bearing capability
π The Innovation
β Researchers incorporated just 0.1 wt.% borophene into castor oil
β The nano-additive significantly improved lubrication performance without requiring chemical modification of the oil
β During operation, borophene forms a protective tribofilm containing iron oxides, carbonaceous compounds and boron-based compounds
π Key Advantages
β Energy efficiency: Reduces friction-related energy losses and improves machinery efficiency
β Sustainability: Uses renewable and biodegradable castor oil, reducing dependence on petroleum-based lubricants
β Equipment protection: Minimises wear and surface degradation, potentially extending machinery lifespan
β Environmental benefits: Offers a greener alternative for sustainable manufacturing and lubrication technologies
π Potential Applications
β Renewable energy systems, including wind and solar equipment
β Marine and automotive sectors
β Heavy industrial machinery
β Green manufacturing and sustainable lubrication technologies
π About IASST
β Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology is an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology (DST)
β Located in Guwahati, Assam
β Provides advanced analytical facilities and state-of-the-art research infrastructure for interdisciplinary scientific research
