Need to shift to domestic thorium from import dependency of uranium as early as possible, says Anil Kakodkar

Scientists developed a solar desalination system that turns seawater into fresh water. This innovative technology solidifies leftover salt into a reusable form. The system also shows potential for recovering valuable minerals like lithium from the waste. This approach offers a sustainable solution for water scarcity and mineral extraction needs. Further research is required to scale up this promising technology for widespread use.

Scientists have found unusual four-stranded DNA shapes in human blood plasma. These G-quadruplex structures suggest hidden genetic information may exist. Ordinary sequencing methods might miss this folded genetic material. This discovery could potentially offer new health clues in future research. Further studies will explore their exact role and origin within the body.

China advocates for global artificial intelligence governance and international cooperation. Leading AI figures in the US have issued stark warnings about the technology

Unlike traditional computers that encode electric states into 0s and 1s to store and process information, quantum computers make use of the very unique, but counter-intuitive, properties of the quantum world to carry out calculations.

Alzheimer’s may affect more than brain cells — scientists discover DNA’s 3D shape is changing in ways that could reveal hidden causes of memory loss.

In the future, there will be opened a gateway and a road to a large and excellent science into which minds more piercing than mine shall penetrate to recesses still deeper. Galileo GalileiEvery generation stands on the shoulders of the one before it, and few p
