The votes polled in the Malur constituency in Karnataka’s Kolar district during the 2023 Assembly elections will be counted again on November 11 following a Supreme Court order, sources said. The chief electoral officer has written to the district administration to count the votes again. The Supreme Court order, which came on October 14, stayed a Karnataka High Court decision that declared the election of Congress candidate K Y Nanjegowda void. The apex court, however, directed the Election Commission to recount the votes and submit the results in a sealed cover. Nanjegowda won the 2023 polls by a wafer-thin margin…

A new study reveals that bowhead whales, known to live over 200 years, produce unusually high levels of a DNA-repairing protein that could help extend human lifespans. Researchers found concentrations of this protein—called CIRBP—at levels up to 100 times higher than in other mammals. This discovery offers a rare look into the molecular makeup of one of Earth’s most long-lived species. The bowhead whale, native to Arctic and subarctic waters, has long puzzled scientists due to its incredible ability to resist age-related diseases over a life that can stretch back to the early 1800s. Now, researchers at the University of…

Research studies on the implementation of the Karnataka Government’s guarantee schemes, while lauding the initiatives for increasing the incomes of families, have also flagged several concerns and recommended that the Government re-examine some of the schemes.While one study highlighted that schemes such as Gruha Lakshmi, which ensures Rs 2,000 per month for women heads of families, helped increase food consumption and access to financial infrastructure, another said that welfare schemes were not a substitute for comprehensive economic strategy and schemes like Yuva Nidhi, unemployment allowance for a fixed period, could have an adverse effect on labour force participation.

Professor Duncan Lockerby’s study introduces a simplified method for predicting how irregular-shaped nanoparticles behave as they drift through gases. Published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics Rapids, this breakthrough bridges a scientific gap that has puzzled aerosol researchers for over a hundred years. A Neglected Equation Gets a Second Life Each day, billions of airborne particles, such as dust, soot, pollen, microplastics, viruses, and synthetic nanoparticles, are inhaled by people worldwide. Many of these particles are too small to be caught by the body’s natural defenses. Once inside the respiratory system, they can penetrate deep into the lungs, enter the…
