Antibiotics aren’t only pharmacological agents: they are evolutionary interventions that reshape microbial populations wherever they are deployed

Only a few large astronomical observatories are capable of groundbreaking discoveries worldwide, which means researchers have to compete for observation time. When funding agencies favour their own national researchers, international scientists’ access becomes increasingly restricted, and Indians are no exception

Research has shown that prolonged exposure to loud noise can damage synapses without affecting the hearing threshold; since clinical assessments bank on this threshold, a normal audiogram need not mean no hearing damage

The test was conducted at the Thrust Chamber Test facility at ISRO Propulsion Complex (IPRC), Mahendragiri on January 27, 2026

Vitamin B12 could be a ‘regulator of regulators’ that controls enzymes involved in gene expression; based on the finding, experts said the national policy should include vitamin B12 supplements to improve the nutritional status of adolescents and women of reproductive age

‘The key scientific question is understanding solar eruptions, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, and their potential impact on space assets like satellites orbiting earth,’ Vaibhav Pant, scientist at the Aryabhata Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), said

Researchers built simple quantum circuits on IBM’s superconducting quantum computers, which are available on the cloud; the experiments successfully produced random numbers certified by quantum mechanics, and which classical randomness can’t fake

Programmed cell death is generally considered as an irreversible process, however, in recent years, researchers have found evidence that some forms of cell death can indeed be reversed under certain conditions

Subtle changes in food lead to divergent evolutionary paths, offering clues to predict future adaptations
