India and Italy have elevated their ties to a Special Strategic Partnership, fostering deeper cooperation in defence, technology, and trade. A defence roadmap for co-development and co-production of military platforms was agreed upon, alongside an ambitious €20 billion trade target by 2029. Discussions also covered global security, including West Asia and Ukraine, and maritime cooperation.

Sharda University is rapidly emerging as a leading institution in India's knowledge-driven economy, recognized for its cutting-edge research, AI integration, and global collaborations. With a strong focus on innovation and impact, the university boasts significant research output, faculty excellence, and robust mechanisms for intellectual property commercialization, positioning itself as a key player in Viksit Bharat's ambitions.

Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes discovered superconductivity in 1911. He observed mercury losing all electrical resistance at very low temperatures. This accidental finding transformed physics. It revealed new properties of matter at extreme cold. The discovery paved the way for technologies like MRI machines and particle accelerators. It remains a foundational event in scientific history.

Initially conceived as a backup for the slow-moving Nupedia, Wikipedia's open editing model proved to be a revolutionary success. This workaround allowed for rapid content creation and self-correction, ultimately surpassing its predecessor and becoming the world's go-to source for information. The project's accidental triumph highlights the power of accessible participation in knowledge sharing.

Scientists have created tiny "optical tornadoes" -- swirling beams of light that twist like miniature whirlwinds -- using a surprisingly simple setup based on liquid crystals. Instead of relying on complex nanotechnology, the team used self-organizing structures called torons to trap and manipulate light, causing it to spiral and rotate in intricate ways.

Stephen Hawking, a brilliant cosmologist, overcame ALS to make groundbreaking discoveries about black holes and the universe's origins. His book, 'A Brief History of Time,' made complex science accessible. Hawking's life exemplified human determination and curiosity, reminding us of our cosmic insignificance yet the profound power of understanding.

The term Schrödinger’s XYZ has since slipped into the modern lexicon to describe any situation of uncertainty, and it certainly fits the description for the current imbroglio in the Middle East.

Yellow toilet seats are a common issue caused by chemical reactions and mineral deposits. Conventional cleaners may worsen the problem. Hydrogen peroxide offers a molecular-level solution, breaking down discolouration. Simple application and patience yield better results than harsh scrubbing. Avoiding strong cleaners and ensuring good ventilation can prevent future yellowing. Gentle cleaning is key.

Karnataka is doubling down on its startup capital status, with a new strategy focusing on deep tech, regional expansion, and enhanced funding. A high-level Vision Group meeting charted a course for growth, aiming to foster innovation beyond Bengaluru and support founders at every stage. Initiatives like 'Elevate Next' and improved infrastructure are key to this ambitious plan.

Kerala's 2026 elections are a promise war. LDF, UDF, and NDA offer welfare, jobs, and growth. Welfare is now a baseline. Parties compete on scale and delivery. Voters seek sustainability and governance. Promises target all sections. Implementation is the real test amid fiscal challenges. This election is a referendum on competing models.

Australian scientists are working on quantum mechanics which is being applied to computing in order to develop most powerful and impenetrable cyber security method ever conceived.

Google scientists said they have passed a major milestone in their quest to develop effective quantum computing, with a new study showing they reduced the rate of errors -- long an obstacle for the much-hyped technology.

In early January this year, China developed the world’s first portable mobile quantum satellite station. It is a secure satellite communication system which works on the laws of quantum mechanics thus blocking eavesdroppers

The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) has upgraded the high performance computing cluster at the Advanced Information Technology Institute (AITI) in Ghana

Celebrating the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, the article explores the enigmatic world of quantum mechanics, highlighting the uncertainty principle, superposition, and entanglement. It explains how qubits in quantum computers leverage superposition for faster analysis and delves into the perplexing nature of entanglement, emphasizing its non-classical behavior and incompatibility with local realism.

Astrophysicists and quantum physicists achieve breakthrough in understanding neutron star glitches, where spins of dead stars suddenly accelerate. Glitches may be caused by vortices of swirling inner material breaking the surface of neutron stars. The team used ultracold dipolar atoms as a proxy to simulate neutron star behavior, revealing that superfluid vortices contribute to glitching. Further research will explore the glitch mechanism and its dependence on supersolid material quality. Study enhances understanding of neutron stars and opens new avenues in quantum simulation.

A century-long debate in physics concludes as MIT's experiment confirms quantum entanglement, proving Einstein wrong. The study demonstrates that quantum particles instantaneously influence each other across distances, defying classical physics. This breakthrough validates the bizarre predictions of quantum mechanics, paving the way for advanced technologies like quantum computers and unhackable communication networks.
