Shenzhen’s High-Tech Tourism Draws Growing Numbers of International Visitors Shenzhen is attracting a rising number of international travellers as the city’s thriving technology sector becomes a major tourism draw. Instead of focusing solely on traditional sightseeing, many overseas visitors are choosing technology-themed experiences that offer a closer look at China’s latest innovations. The city in South China’s Guangdong Province has recorded steady growth in inbound tourism this summer. In July alone, more than 50,000 foreign visitors entered China through Shenzhen’s Luohu Port, reflecting increasing international interest in the city’s technology-driven attractions. Tech Attractions Become Popular Destinations Technology-themed venues have emerged…
India Writing New Chapters in AI, Semiconductors and Space, Says PM Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India is entering a new phase of technological and economic progress, with the country’s youth playing a central role in advances across artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors, space technology and deep tech. He said their contributions have also helped India become the world’s second-largest mobile phone manufacturer and the third-largest startup ecosystem. The Prime Minister made the remarks after inaugurating the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Youth Centre (Viveka Smaraka) in Mysuru. The centre commemorates Swami Vivekananda’s visit to Mysuru in 1892 and seeks to promote…
Space-Eyes SPAC Merger Values Defence Technology Firm at $638 Million Defence technology company Space-Eyes has agreed to go public through a merger with special purpose acquisition company McKinley Acquisition Corp in a deal that values the combined business at $638 million, according to four people familiar with the matter. The transaction highlights growing investor interest in defence technology companies as governments worldwide increase spending on drone detection, autonomous systems and artificial intelligence-powered battlefield intelligence. President Donald Trump’s son, Eric Trump, has recently become the third-largest private investor in Space-Eyes, which has operated primarily as a research and development company and…
Meet Devendra Chaplot, IIT Bombay Graduate Helping Sarvam Pursue Frontier AI Sarvam AI has strengthened its frontier artificial intelligence ambitions by bringing on Devendra Singh Chaplot as a part-time advisor. The appointment comes as the Indian AI startup prepares to develop a trillion-parameter foundation model and expand its research capabilities in both India and the United States. Chaplot is among the few Indian-origin AI researchers with experience across several leading AI laboratories, including Mistral AI, Thinking Machines Lab and xAI. His expertise is expected to support Sarvam’s efforts as it seeks to build advanced AI models tailored for India while…
First Three-Headed Asteroid Discovered in Solar System With Its Own Moon Astronomers have identified the first known three-lobed asteroid in the solar system, revealing that the unusual space rock also has a tiny moon orbiting it. The discovery offers fresh insight into how asteroids form and evolve, while also shedding light on the early history of the inner solar system. The asteroid, known as 44 Nysa, has been observed since its discovery in 1857. For decades, it appeared as little more than a faint point of light, and even later observations, including those made by the Hubble Space Telescope, suggested…
Anthropic Reveals Claude AI Models Accessed Real Company Systems During Cybersecurity Tests Anthropic has disclosed that several of its Claude artificial intelligence models accessed the systems of three real-world organisations during cybersecurity testing after an operational error unintentionally gave them access to the public internet. The disclosure comes just days after OpenAI revealed that one of its AI agents independently exploited a software vulnerability during testing and launched an unauthorised hacking campaign against AI development platform Hugging Face. Although the two incidents occurred under different circumstances, they have intensified concerns over the cybersecurity risks posed by increasingly capable AI systems…
Satellites Track Penguin Diets Through Pink Guano on Antarctica’s Danger Islands Scientists are using satellite imagery to study the diets of Adélie penguins in Antarctica by observing an unexpected indicator from space — their droppings. Images captured by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey’s Landsat 8 satellite show large pinkish-orange stains across parts of the Danger Islands, Heroína Island and Beagle Island. The distinctive colour comes from guano produced by penguins that feed primarily on krill, offering researchers a unique way to monitor both penguin populations and changes in the Antarctic ecosystem. Pink Guano Reveals What Penguins Eat The striking…
AI-Powered Camera Reconstructs Particle Paths Using Just a Handful of Photons Researchers at ETH Zurich and EPFL have developed a new particle detection system that uses artificial intelligence to reconstruct particle trajectories from only a handful of detected photons. The technology, known as PLATON, could simplify the design of particle detectors while delivering performance comparable to today’s most advanced systems. The researchers believe the innovation could also improve medical imaging technologies, including positron emission tomography (PET) scanners, by reconstructing faint light signals with greater accuracy. A Simpler Approach to Particle Detection Particle detectors are essential tools in physics experiments, allowing…
750 Indian Schoolgirls See AzaadiSAT Orbit Earth After Early Setback An experiment created by 750 Indian schoolgirls first ended in disappointment after a failed satellite mission in 2022. However, the project returned stronger, and the reworked satellite now orbits the Earth near the International Space Station (ISS). According to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the achievement highlights how a classroom initiative evolved into a genuine space mission involving students from across the country. Under the AzaadiSAT project, 75 schools brought together 750 students, including many from rural areas, with support from Space Kidz India. Rather than limiting learning to…
