Physicists have long been fascinated with dark matter. Scientists discovered that observable matter, stars, galaxies, nebulae, and planets, can only account for 5% of the universe’s structure.
The contamination of the environment by pesticides cannot be prevented by purification facilities and trapping devices. Enormous areas of agricultural lands and hundreds of thousands of tonnes of products are treated with pesticides; consequently, they continuously circulate in the habitat of humans.

Children are widely regarded as the architects of our future. Yet, as a teacher of science and mathematics, I am increasingly concerned that a silent crisis is unfolding among the very generation expected to lead tomorrow's world.
India and Japan on Wednesday advanced their strategic partnership in science, technology and innovation during a high-level bilateral engagement with a strong focus on emerging and critical technologies.
Union Minister for Science and Technology Dr. Jitendra Singh has called for deeper engagement between research institutions and the private sector, and emphasised aligning innovation with consumer demand, including in ready-to-eat and convenience food segments.
In 1848, the world was viewed through the lens of steam engines and clockwork. When Marx and Engels formulated their critique of capital, they did so within a “Newtonian” universe ~ a world of solid, “billiard-ball” atoms and predictable, mechanical forces.
In academia, critics have expressed different opinions about Gandhi’s views on science. One of the reasons may be that Gandhi himself had contemplated the concept of machinery, the machine age and modern civilization differently at different times.
Secretary-General António Guterres on Friday called for science-driven global governance of artificial intelligence (AI), saying clear, evidence-based rules are essential to ensure innovation benefits humanity, protects human rights, and enables international interoperability.
