Addressing a press conference here, Kharge also questioned the “absence” of Kumar in Modi’s roadshow in Patna and poll rallies elsewhere in Bihar, and asserted that the BJP is not going to make him the CM again. “PM Modi and Kumar have been in their posts for…

The findings come from an international team led by King’s College London, which focused on hard-to-treat cases of myelodysplastic syndrome and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, two forms of blood cancer that often carry grim prognoses. The breakthrough lies in how these cancers rely on hyperactive sections of non-coding cto stay alive, a weakness researchers were able to turn against them using known compounds. The study, published in Blood on October 27, 2025, explores what happens when mutations in key regulatory genes, ASXL1 and EZH2, disrupt the genome’s usual silence mechanisms. These mutations, common in several blood cancers, were found to wake…

ROME (AP) — Firefighters worked to rescue a worker trapped for hours beneath the rubble of a medieval tower that partially collapsed while under renovation in the heart of Italy’s capital on Monday, critically injuring another worker. Firefighters faced a complex task as the structure continued to give way as they tried to get near the trapped worker through a first-floor window, forcing their retreat on telescopic aerial ladders in a cloud of smoke. Another approach on two ladders was also aborted, and a drone sent up in their stead.As dusk approached, firefighters lifted on a crane used giant tubes…

Enrico Fermi’s decades-old question—“Where is everybody?”—remains one of science’s most haunting mysteries. If the universe is teeming with stars and planets, and life has evolved on Earth, why hasn’t it happened elsewhere in a way we can detect? For many researchers, the so-called Fermi Paradox is a puzzle that demands fresh approaches rather than grand assumptions. Paul M. Sutter, astrophysicist and science communicator, digs into this question in a Popular Mechanics feature, drawing heavily from a recent paper by NASA scientist Robin Corbet. Corbet’s “A Less Terrifying Universe,” published on the arXiv preprint server, challenges our longstanding ideas of advanced…

Thiruvananthapuram: After a brief hiatus, senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has once again sparked controversy with his comments on dynastic politics and the remark that “the influence of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty… has cemented the idea that political leadership can be a birthright”.In a recent article published in Project Syndicate, Shashi Tharoor wrote that a single family has dominated India’s political landscape for generations. The Malayalam version of the opinion piece, originally published on the platform on 31 October, appeared in the Kerala daily Mangalam on Sunday. “The influence of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, including India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, prime…

This advance, led by Professor J. Joshua Yang and his team, doesn’t just simulate the brain’s behavior digitally, it physically recreates the electrochemical process of biological neurons. The new devices might eventually help reduce the enormous energy consumption of today’s AI systems, while also helping scientists better understand how the brain itself functions. The technology is based on neuromorphic computing, an approach that mimics the brain’s design and mechanisms to improve hardware. Unlike traditional chips that use only fast but energy-hungry electrons, neuromorphic systems can integrate learning directly into the hardware. This means they have the potential to process information…

Show Quick Read Key points generated by AI, verified by newsroom Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has sharply criticised the prevalence of dynastic politics in India, calling it a “grave threat” to democracy and urging the country to embrace meritocracy. In his article “Indian Politics Are a Family Business” on the Project Syndicate portal, Tharoor described dynastic politics as detrimental to Indian democracy and asserted that it was “high time” the nation moved towards “merit-based leadership.” The remarks are being seen as a swipe at both the Congress high command and INDIA bloc allies such as the Samajwadi Party (SP), Rashtriya…

A Bengaluru court Monday framed charges against Kannada film star Darshan Thoogudeepa, his friend Pavithra Gowda, and 15 other accused in the Renukaswamy murder case. All 17 accused were arrested last year after Chitradurga resident Renukaswamy was allegedly murdered for sending lewd messages to Pavithra Gowda on Instagram. The victim’s body was discovered near a stormwater drain in Bengaluru’s Sumanahalli on June 9, 2024. Thoogudeepa was arrested in Mysuru while shooting for The Devil movie. Additional City Civil and Sessions Judge (CCH-57) Monday framed charges in the presence of Thoogudeepa, Gowda and other accused. All the accused denied the charges…
