The future of technology in India is guided by a simple but powerful idea: the democratisation of AI. Artificial Intelligence should not remain limited to a few companies, institutions, or countries. Instead, it must be developed and used in a way that benefits every citizen, supports public welfare and collective well-being. This vision of AI for Humanity places people at the centre of technological progress, ensuring that innovation serves society rather than the other way around.

A submarine dives into uncharted ocean depths... powered by electricity in 1870, when batteries were barely a thing. Aliens invade with tripod death machines... inspiring real rockets to the Moon. A zombie zap with lightning... now saving hearts in hospitals. Hold on, what if I told you these ‘wild’ stories didn't just entertain? They blueprinted our world. When stories dream big, science snaps awake, and reality plays catch-up. Ideas crash the party first, tools trailing behind.

A newly discovered semiconductor property of a known self-assembling bacterial shell protein could pave the way for safe, environmentally friendly electronics—from mobile phones and smart watches to medical instruments and environmental sensors.

India stands at the cusp of a new era powered by Artificial Intelligence, where technology is transforming lives and shaping the nation’s progress. AI is no longer limited to research labs or big corporations. It is reaching citizens at every level. From improving healthcare access in remote areas to helping farmers make informed crop decisions, AI is making daily life simpler, smarter, and more connected. It is revolutionising classrooms through personalised learning, making cities cleaner and safer, and enhancing public services through faster, data-driven governance.

On the last morning of 2025, as winter fog still hangs over the industrial estate, Jagan Nath lifts the shutter of his small factory. Inside are familiar smells of oil, iron and sweat, an office with computers, and display boards. At home, his wife Rajni has already put the kettle on. Between packing tiffins, checking her children’s school messages and tending to ageing parents, she listens to the news playing softly in the background. Words like economy, technology, AI and future float into the room. They sound big. Distant. Yet somehow personal. Meanwhile, 85-year-old grandpa is discussing politics with his friend on mobile, as his toothless wife counts tablets and capsules neatly lined up. Daughter and son, Radhika and Navin are discussing party ideas on the dining table.

A sweeping new study has pulled back the curtain on the chaotic early lives of young stars, revealing that stellar infancy is far more turbulent and variable than previously thought.
