A small molecular module helps time development of C. elegans
For an animal to develop normally, cells must not only become the right types but also do so at the right time. In the worm C. elegans, the protein LIN28 has long been known as an important regulator of this timing: It keeps cells in a flexible state and delays their shift toward adult-like forms. In humans and other mammals, related LIN28 proteins have been associated with the timing of puberty.

SIR excludes 1.8 lakh voters from Meghalaya's draft electoral roll
They have been identified as deceased, shifted, untraceable or duplicate, say officials
Quote of the day by Dr. Seuss teaches us when a meaningful chapter closes, sadness may naturally come first. But with time, gratitude can join it. Instead of asking only why something had to end, we can also ask what made it worth having in the first place. That shiftfrom loss toward appreciationdoes not change the past. It changes how we carry it. And sometimes, that is enough to turn an ending from something we only mourn into something we can genuinely smile about.

Electric field reverses phonon chirality and spin direction in ferroelectric crystal
Chiral phonons are groups of atoms that move in a circular direction when excited by an energy source, such as heat. As the phonons move through a material, they propagate that circular motion, or angular momentum, through the material. The angular momentum serves as the source of spin, and the chirality dictates the direction of the spin, enabling spin control in spintronics.

'You're unwilling to answer': Sen. Blumenthal presses Trump judicial nominee over 2020 election
Kupwara, Aug 5: Member of Parliament Chowdry Mohammad Ramzan on Wednesday said that the long-pending Lower Rajwar Raw Water Main project, which is set to be commissioned after nearly a decade, was originally approved during his tenure as MLA Handwara in 2012 and accused MLA Handwara Sajad Lone of failing to complete the scheme despite remaining in office for years. In a statement, Ramzan said the project was sanctioned in 2012 to address the long-standing drinking water crisis in Lower Rajwar. However, after the 2014 Assembly elections, when Sajad Lone was elected as MLA Handwara, the scheme remained in limbo. I waited until the sitting MLA came into power for the second time in 2024, hoping that along with this project he would also complete the other unfinished works. After waiting for two years and seeing no progress, I took the initiative to ensure the completion of the projects which I had initiated but the sitting MLA failed to complete, Ramzan said. He said that after repeated representations from the residents of Lower Rajwar regarding the pending scheme, he personally took up the matter with the concerned Minister. Following my intervention, Superintending Engineer Shakeel-ul-Rehman and Executive Engineer Aijaz Ahmad were directed to expedite the work, while the required funds were also allocated to ensure completion of the project, he said. Ramzan claimed that the present Executive Engineer was purposefully posted to Handwara to ensure the completion of the Lower Rajwar Water Supply Project. He said the scheme was initially scheduled to be inaugurated by Jal Shakti Minister Javid Ahmad Rana, but the Superintending Engineer and Executive Engineer sought an additional two months to complete the remaining work before commissioning. Ramzan further alleged that Sajad Lone had inaugurated the scheme in the Mawer area nearly four months ago despite the project being far from completion. The scheme was not even ten per cent complete at that time. I fail to understand the logic behind inaugurating an incomplete project, he said. Ramzan said the successful testing of the project marked a significant milestone and expressed hope that its commissioning would ensure a reliable drinking water supply to nearly 25,000 residents across 13 villages, including Dudipora, Bakiakher, Baderher, Budkot, Machipora, Khirman, Nabedzab, Nagranar, Baderkali, Bahadarpora, Goriakher, Wadipora and Lachipora. Launching a sharp attack on Sajad Lone, Ramzan alleged that several important developmental projects in Handwara had remained incomplete due to his failure to pursue them. If he could not even ensure the macadamization of the New Bus Stand Handwara, I was compelled to bring Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Kumar Choudhary to Handwara, following which more than 2 crore was sanctioned for the macadamization work, he said. He further alleged that the inaction of certain officials in the Jal Shakti Division Handwara and Ramhall had caused immense hardship to people across the Handwara constituency. People have suffered because of the inaction of some officials in the Jal Shakti divisions of Handwara and Ramhall. Those responsible will be held accountable, Ramzan said. He said the People's Conference should stop taking credit for projects completed through his efforts and instead acknowledge its failure to effectively represent the people of Handwara. Ramzan also expressed gratitude to Superintending Engineer Shakeel-ul-Rehman, Executive Engineer Aijaz Ahmad and contractor Iqbal Ahmad Tantary & others for their coordinated efforts in completing the long-pending project. He said their commitment and dedication had ensured that the scheme had finally reached the commissioning stage. Appealing to the people, Ramzan urged the public to assess why several developmental projects remained incomplete for years and hold those responsible accountable.

India's FCRA Bill Triggers US Warning As Trump Ally Questions Church, Charity Protections
Indias proposed foreign-funding law has triggered an unexpected warning from Washington. US Congressman Riley Moore claims the FCRA Amendment Bill could enable government control of churches and religious charities. Indias proposed legislation, however, applies to all covered organisations receiving foreign contributions, including NGOs, trusts, educational institutions and religious bodies. It creates a Designated Authority to manage assets when an FCRA certificate is cancelled, surrendered, expires or is not renewed. Critics fear excessive state power, arbitrary non-renewals and damage to charities, schools and hospitals. Supporters argue that foreign money must be transparent and cannot be allowed to influence Indias politics, social order or national security. This video separates the wording of the Bill from the political claims surrounding it and examines whether one American lawmakers warning could create another fault line in India-US relations.

Why India's shift to E20 petrol is facing opposition
INDIA's move to make E20 petrol the national fuel standard is facing opposition, with protesters asking the government to reconsider the policy over concerns about its impact on vehicles. Opposition leader Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday marched towards prime minister Narendra Modi's residence with petitions signed by more than 200,000 people, but police stopped the march before it reached its destination. E20 is petrol blended with 20 per cent ethanol, produced mainly from sugarcane. India has expanded ethanol blending as part of efforts to reduce dependence on imported crude oil. Ethanol blending has increased from less than 1.5 per cent in 2013-14 to 20 per cent in 2025-26. Government figures show the programme has saved about $20 billion in foreign exchange since 2014-15 and increased farmer incomes by $16.4 billion over the same period. Many motorists say E20 could damage engines and increase maintenance costs in vehicles designed for lower ethanol blends. Videos claiming vehicle damage and lower mileage have also spread on social media. Political analyst Tehseen Poonawalla, who led a protest against E20 last month, said the government had rushed the rollout while ignoring public concerns. The government has said E20 may reduce fuel efficiency by 3 per cent to 5 per cent but has rejected claims of engine damage. Junior oil minister Suresh Gopi told parliament that more than 200 million two-wheelers and 300 million cars had used E20 without any verified evidence of widespread engine failures or vehicle breakdowns. It also said manufacturer data showed o E20-linked corrosion, abnormal wear or reduction in component life, including in vehicles not originally designed for the blend. Road transport minister Nitin Gadkari said some older vehicles might need rubber components and gaskets replaced during routine servicing. Carmakers have largely backed the policy. Maruti Suzuki said its tests found no areas of concern, Hero MotoCorp said its service data showed no increase in damage, and Toyota India said a viral complaint was caused by fuel contamination and ot related to E20 fuel usage. Critics have asked the government to offer E10, E20 and unblended petrol at fuel stations. The oil ministry has said this would be difficult and costly, adding that maintaining multiple petrol grades would create logistical challenges, increase handling costs, complicate inventory management and reduce operational efficiency.
