Engineering evolution through gene drives forces a balance of risk and benefit that each country will resolve differently — the safest aircraft, as one framing puts it, is the one that never takes off.

Coriander is central to Indian cooking, adding freshness and a light citrus note that offsets heat in a dish. Chef Ranveer Brar argues the stems, or dhaniya ki dandi, carry more concentrated flavour than the leaves most cooks favour, and urges home cooks to stop discarding them and build them into everyday preparations instead.
A decade ago most Indian households bought a single dinner set, often around a wedding, and reserved the good crockery for guests. Decor conversations centred on sofas, wall colours and lighting rather than tableware. That has shifted: tablescapes now feature on Instagram, weekend hosting has become more deliberate, and brands like Nestasia arrived as buyers began caring.

The iPad Pro remains among the most capable tablets available, but its price puts it beyond many buyers. Android alternatives have improved sharply, with flagship models combining fast processors, high-resolution screens, AI features, stylus support, desktop-style multitasking and long battery life.

Cloud storage remains convenient, letting users move photos, videos and documents between devices without managing hardware. But the economics have shifted in 2026: SSD prices have fallen while subscription tiers have risen sharply, with a standard 1TB cloud plan now costing upwards of Rs 2,000. An SSD carries an upfront cost but no recurring fee.
San Francisco robotics startup Foundation Future Industries has openly targeted battlefield deployment, breaking from the technology industry's customary non-weaponisation pledges.

Google has begun integrating third-party apps into AI Mode in Search, extending it beyond answering questions.

Hepatitis C can now be cured in most cases with modern antiviral treatment. Delayed diagnosis remains the central problem, allowing the infection to progress silently and continuing to drive liver disease and deaths worldwide despite the availability of effective therapy.
India's smartphone shipments fell 10 percent year on year in the second quarter of 2026, the steepest June-quarter decline in six years, according to Counterpoint Research. Rising memory and component costs pushed device prices up, weakening budget and mid-range demand and lengthening replacement cycles. Memory prices have risen nearly fourfold since September 2025.
Infertility has long been treated as a woman's health issue, but male factors contribute to nearly half of all cases among infertile couples, says urologist and andrologist Dr Sanjay Prakash J.

India's coffee culture is shifting rapidly as drinkers move beyond instant coffee towards speciality cafes and start paying attention to origin and craft. Miguel Villaquiran, chief executive and co-founder of Libertario, unpicks common misconceptions — among them the widespread belief that a darker roast automatically means a stronger or better cup.
More than a century ago a small group of chimpanzees on the Spanish island of Tenerife reshaped scientific understanding of intelligence, solving problems through insight rather than trial and error and challenging assumptions about human uniqueness.
