May 12, 2017. 3:24 PM GMT. Hospitals across Britain went dark. Computer screens froze mid-diagnosis. Operating rooms scrambled to manual procedures. Within hours, the chaos spread like wildfire across 150 countries. FedEx, Nissan, Deutsche Bahn, Telefónica. Global giants brought to their knees. The WannaCry ransomware attack was unfolding at unprecedented speed, encrypting hundreds of thousands of computers and demanding Bitcoin ransoms. Cybersecurity experts worldwide watche

Picture this: a brilliant scientist captures the most important photograph in history, one that will unlock the secret of life itself. Then, while she's still analysing her data, colleagues slip her work to competitors who race to publish first, winning fame and glory while her name vanishes into footnotes. Science fiction? No. This is the true story of Rosalind Franklin.​ The Photograph That Changed Everything On May 6, 1952, Rosalind Franklin produced "Photo 51," an X-ray c

On July 2, 2019, Victoria Gray lay in a hospital bed in Nashville, Tennessee, watching something extraordinary unfold. A doctor stood beside her, holding a syringe containing two billion of her own cells, but these were not ordinary cells. They were what Gray would come to call her "supercells," genetically edited using a revolutionary technology called CRISPR. With a single push and a triumphant high five, those cells flowed back into her body through a catheter in her chest

Picture this: A sick mathematician lying in a London hospital bed in 1918. His colleague G.H. Hardy visits, attempting small talk about his mundane taxi ride (cab number 1729, "a rather dull number," he remarks). Ramanujan's eyes light up instantly. "No, Hardy! It's a very interesting number. It's the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways". Even illness couldn't silence his supernatural communion with numbers. This wasn't learned knowledge.

Picture this: A mother in a remote Rwandan hospital is haemorrhaging after childbirth. The medical staff knows exactly what she needs to survive, but there is one problem. The blood supply is 50 kilometres away, across a landscape known as the land of a thousand hills. By car, navigating treacherous dirt roads and steep terrain, it would take over two hours. She does not have two hours. This scenario played out repeatedly across Rwanda until 2016, when an extraordinary soluti

In 1911, Marie Curie stood at a crossroads between glory and ruin. The Swedish Academy wanted to give her a second Nobel Prize, while Parisian newspapers screamed for her exile. Her crime? Being a brilliant woman who dared to love. But let's rewind to the beginning of this radioactive tale. Maria Sklodowska arrived in Paris in 1891 with little more than fierce ambition and a threadbare coat. Poland was erased from the map, crushed under Russian boots, and she'd smuggled herse

Imagine a cosmic traveller arriving at your doorstep after journeying across unimaginable distances, carrying secrets from worlds you've never seen. This isn't science fiction. Right now, 3I/ATLAS, a Manhattan sized interstellar object, is sweeping through our solar system, and it's behaving in ways that have astronomers calling it a rare "Black Swan event".​ Discovered in July 2025 by the ATLAS survey telescope in Chile, this celestial visitor is the third confirmed interste

The year was 1898. Police officers sprinted through New York City streets toward 46 East Houston Street, convinced an earthquake was destroying lower Manhattan. Windows shattered. Walls cracked. The ground itself seemed to convulse. When they burst into Tesla's laboratory, they found him calmly smashing a seven inch device with a sledgehammer. "Gentlemen," he reportedly said, "I am sorry. You are just a trifle too late to witness my experiment". That pocket sized machine had

Picture this : every single week, a traditional farm loses approximately one million gallons of water to evaporation, runoff, and waste. Now imagine a farm that recaptures 99% of that water, transforms a big-box store sized space into 700 acres of productive farmland, and harvests fresh produce 365 days a year. This is not Science Fiction. This is Plenty, and it represents the stunning reality of vertical farming technology that is rewriting the rules of agriculture.​ In 2004

In the remote Lindi District of southeastern Tanzania, something extraordinary happened between 2023 and 2025. Four hundred ordinary villagers transformed into trained patrol team members, protecting 350,000 hectares of miombo forest from encroaching farmland. Their mission was not conventional conservation work. Instead, these patrol teams learned to identify deforestation incidents, respond swiftly to threats, and maintain detailed records of every hectare they protected. T

The stage is empty. A thousand eyes wait. Your heartbeat echoes in your ears. This is not a nightmare, this is opportunity knocking. In 2018, a 15 year old Swedish girl stood before world leaders at the UN Climate Summit. Greta Thunberg, armed with nothing but conviction and words, sparked a global movement that mobilized millions. Her secret? She understood what Gen-Z instinctively knows authentic voice matters more than polished performance. The Digital Paradox Generation Z

When Victor Vescovo descended 10,928 meters into the Mariana Trench in 2019, he discovered something unexpected: a plastic bag and candy wrappers at Earth's deepest point. This moment crystallized a profound truth about our oceans. We know more about the surface of Mars than we do about 95% of our own oceans, yet our impact reaches even the most unreachable depths. The ocean covers 71% of our planet, regulates our climate, produces over half the oxygen we breathe, and feeds b

In 2008, a mysterious figure appeared on the internet using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. No one knew who this person was, where they lived, or even if they were one person or a group. Satoshi posted a message saying they had created a new kind of money that did not need banks. The idea was simple but revolutionary: people could send money directly to each other online, safely and securely, without needing to trust any middleman.   A year later, in 2009, Bitcoin was born. It was

Henry Ford was born in 1863 on a small farm in Dearborn, Michigan. From a young age, he was fascinated by machines, spending hours taking apart watches, bicycles, and engines to understand how they worked. This curiosity would shape his future and, eventually, the modern world. As a teenager, Ford encountered his first gasoline-powered engine, sparking a lifelong passion for mechanized transport. In 1891, he became an engineer at the Edison Illuminating Company, gaining hands

About Astronomy and Astrophysics and latest developments in India and the world Astronomy and astrophysics reveal how the universe builds structure by uniting precision observations with physical laws to probe stars, galaxies, black holes, planets, and the active Sun.​ India has moved to the front line, as Aditya L1’s Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope delivered the first near ultraviolet image of a solar flare kernel from the lower solar atmosphere, opening fresh views of e

About ocean exploration Ocean exploration investigates seafloor, midwater, and coastal systems using crewed submersibles, remotely operated vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and telepresence to reveal geology, ecosystems, and resources that inform science and policy. India’s latest milestones include MATSYA 6000’s titanium personnel sphere developed with ISRO’s VSSC for the Samudrayaan project under the Deep Ocean Mission, targeting 6,000 meter depth with a three person crew.

Carbon Credit Trading and Latest Developments in India and the World Carbon credit trading is a powerful tool in fighting climate change by creating a marketplace for environmental action. Simply put, a carbon credit represents one metric ton of carbon dioxide that has been removed or prevented from entering the atmosphere. Companies can buy these credits to offset their emissions while supporting clean energy and conservation projects.​ The global carbon credit market has gr

Cryptocurrency is digital money that lives on blockchains, which are shared databases secured by math and run by many computers instead of a single company or bank. In India, the Reserve Bank of India launched a retail sandbox for the e rupee pilot so fintech's can build and test real world CBDC apps, expanding the experiment that began in 2022. RBI is also piloting deposit tokenization that uses its wholesale CBDC to represent bank deposits as tokens, a step toward faster se
