RoseTTAFold : AI-Based Prediction Tool AI-based prediction tool RoseTTAFold has provided a major scientific breakthrough in the last four years in the area of computational drug development. RoseTTAFold is developed by researchers at the University of Washington, U.S. It uses generative diffusion-based architectures (one kind of AI model) to predict structural complexes. The tools’ neural […]

Synchrotron : Circular Particle Accelerator China’s latest scientific milestone, the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), set to be the first fourth-generation synchrotron light source in Asia, will begin operations by the end of this year. A synchrotron is a type of circular particle accelerator, where particles move in a loop. It works by accelerating charged […]

Digital Arrest : Report Following increasing reports of “digital arrests” by cybercriminals the central government has collaborated with Microsoft to block more than 1,000 Skype IDs used for online intimidation, blackmail, and extortion. Digital Arrest is a new and innovative tactic employed by cybercriminals to defraud gullible victims and extort money. The modus operandi in […]

PREFIRE Polar Mission : NASA A NASA PREFIRE polar mission is set to be launched from New Zealand on May 22. The Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment (PREFIRE) polar mission consists of twin satellites, each carrying one instrument and measuring the poles about six hours apart. The objective of the mission is to […]

GPT-4o : OpenAI OpenAI has introduced GPT-4o, its newest and most advanced AI model, designed to enhance ChatGPT by making it smarter, faster, and free for all users. GPT-4o this model, named “Omni,” represents a significant upgrade from previous models by supporting multimodal interactions—processing and responding to text, audio, and images. Unlike its predecessors, which […]

Hepatitis A Outbreak : Kerela There has been a big spread of Hepatitis A in Kerala’s Malappuram district, with about 8,000 cases and 12 deaths. The virus, which is known for being very contagious, usually affects kids younger than 15 years old, but it is now spreading to older people whose immune systems aren’t working […]

BHISHM Portable Cubes: BHISHM portable cubes were dropped from an airplane by the Indian Air Force in Agra as part of an important test. These mobile hospitals are meant to provide emergency medical care anywhere, and this event was their first test run. Project BHISHM, which stands for “Bharat Health Initiative for Sahyog, Hita, and […]

High Energy Photon Source: China is set to become the first country in Asia with a fourth-generation synchrotron light source with the completion of the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS). This advanced facility will produce some of the world’s brightest X-rays, significantly enhancing research capabilities across various scientific fields. HEPS will accelerate electrons to 6 […]

Nancy Grace Roman Telescope: NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set to launch in late 2026, will search for tiny primordial black holes dating back to the Big Bang. These hypothetical black holes, with masses similar to Earth or even large asteroids, could revolutionize theoretical physics if detected Detection of these small black holes, […]

Geomagnetic Storms : Hits Earth The strongest geomagnetic storm in over two decades recently hit Earth, causing radio blackouts and extending the northern lights to the southern United States. Geomagnetic Storm is a major disturbance of Earth’s magnetosphere that occurs when there is a very efficient exchange of energy from the solar wind into the […]
