Cambodia-Thailand Maritime Dispute Gains Urgency Amid Iran Oil Shock The global energy crisis linked to the Iran conflict has intensified pressure on Cambodia and Thailand to resolve a long-running maritime dispute and unlock offshore energy reserves estimated at $300 billion. Cambodia’s Energy Minister Keo Rottanak said the disruption risks surrounding the Strait of Hormuz had sharpened concerns about energy security worldwide. The narrow waterway carries about one-fifth of global oil supplies, making instability in the region a major threat to international energy markets. Cambodia has increasingly relied on renewable energy, including hydropower and expanding solar capacity, to cushion itself against…
CLEAR Technology Advances Protein Imaging Research Researchers have developed a novel imaging platform called CLEAR that could transform how scientists visualise proteins within biological samples. The technology may improve the detection and understanding of diseases such as cancer and neurological disorders by enabling highly detailed protein mapping using a single fluorescent marker. The Cleavable Light-Erased Antibody Reporter platform, known as CLEAR, allows researchers to visualise an unprecedented number of proteins within the same sample while maintaining high spatial resolution. Scientists believe the breakthrough could open new possibilities in disease diagnosis, biomedical research and precision medicine. JNCASR Researchers Develop CLEAR Platform…

Europe Divided Over Big Tech Curbs And Digital Sovereignty Plans European leaders remain divided over how aggressively the European Union should limit the influence of major technology companies as the bloc prepares key decisions on satellite spectrum access and cloud computing contracts. The debate reflects wider concerns about Europe’s dependence on U.S. technology firms and growing pressure to strengthen the region’s digital sovereignty. EU Weighs Limits On Foreign Tech Firms Brussels is expected to leave room for Elon Musk’s Starlink and Amazon’s low-Earth-orbit satellite business Project Kuiper to compete for European mobile satellite spectrum next year. However, a proposed compromise…
