New Delhi — In a landmark moment for India’s space ambitions, ISRO is set to launch Vyommitra, an AI-driven half-humanoid robot, into orbit aboard its first uncrewed Gaganyaan mission in December 2025. This bold move signals India’s readiness to take on crewed spaceflight challenges, fast forwarding the nation’s journey toward sending human astronauts into space….
In Sweden, a quiet revolution is unfolding inside people’s hands. More than 4,000 Swedes have chosen to implant tiny microchips beneath their skin, allowing them to unlock doors, pay for transport, and even share personal details with just a wave. The chips, roughly the size of a grain of rice, symbolize the nation’s growing comfort…
Japanese researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery: shining blue light on the brain can weaken—or even erase—specific learned motor memories. The study, led by scientists at the University of Tokyo, showed that when the laser was directed at targeted brain connections, the tiny “memory” spines shrank, causing the training effect to disappear in about 10–20%…
Steam locomotives, once the symbol of the Industrial Revolution, have largely disappeared from daily use across the globe. Yet, in 2025, they remain a living part of everyday transport in just two regions: Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Tuzla area and parts of North Korea. These iron giants, some dating back to World War II, continue to…

OpenAI has confirmed plans to roll out new safety features in ChatGPT that include estimating users’ ages from their behavior—and, in some cases, requesting ID verification. These changes aim to take stronger measures to shield minors from potentially harmful content and mental health risks.Business Insider+2The Guardian+2 Age-Prediction by AI: How It Works Rather than relying…
For more than a century, dinosaurs have thundered across cinema screens with roars born of imagination rather than evidence. Now, scientists and artists have teamed up to give us a closer approximation of how dinosaurs might have truly sounded—raising technology, creativity and science in one bold experiment. At Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Associate Professor…
Germany has taken a bold step toward the future of robotics with the creation of bioengineered living skin made from laboratory-grown human cells. This pioneering development, achieved by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, could transform how machines interact with their surroundings and the people who use them. Unlike synthetic coverings, this…
The ITER fusion project, one of the most ambitious scientific collaborations in human history, is designed to prove that nuclear fusion can be harnessed as a practical and sustainable energy source. Located in southern France, ITER brings together 35 nations with the common mission of unlocking virtually limitless, clean power. At the heart of this…
