In a breakthrough that could reshape the future of cancer treatment, researchers have engineered programmable “smart cells” capable of detecting, targeting, and destroying cancer cells with unprecedented precision. Published in Science in March 2025, this new synthetic biology technique could mark the next evolution in cellular immunotherapy. Unlike traditional cancer therapies, which often harm healthy…
In April 2025, the complex and high-stakes negotiations between the United States and Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program are once again in the global spotlight. After a series of unofficial diplomatic engagements in early 2025, both sides are weighing the possibility of reviving a modified version of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)….
India’s top cybersecurity agency, CERT-In (Indian Computer Emergency Response Team), has issued a high-severity warning for users of the WhatsApp Desktop application. A newly discovered vulnerability could allow remote attackers to execute malicious code and gain unauthorized access to user systems. The vulnerability affects specific versions of WhatsApp Desktop for both Windows and macOS, and…
In a move that’s shaking up the global auto market, former U.S. President Donald Trump — now the Republican frontrunner for the 2024 election — has announced plans to impose steep new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) and auto parts. If implemented in 2025, the proposed tariffs could have far-reaching consequences for China\’s fast-growing…
In one of the most astonishing breakthroughs in modern biology, scientists have successfully created synthetic human embryos using stem cells — without the need for sperm, eggs, or a traditional fertilization process. The findings, presented in 2023 at the annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research, mark a turning point in developmental…
In recent years, India has taken a more assertive approach to regulating digital infrastructure — and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are now in the government’s crosshairs. A 2022 directive from the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) requiring VPN providers to collect and store user data has sparked debate across tech circles, civil liberties groups,…
In 2025, Canadian politics is no longer just about healthcare, climate, or the economy — it’s increasingly about technology, privacy, and platform power. With the rise of AI, expanding surveillance tools, and concerns over online safety, the country is in the middle of a digital reckoning that could reshape its political future. As parties prepare…
Gone are the days when political debates played out on cable news or op-ed pages alone. In 2025, platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) have become the new battlegrounds for public opinion — broadcasting ideas, outrage, and disinformation in real time to millions of users. From presidential campaigns to global conflicts, these platforms don’t…
For centuries, philosophers and scientists have debated what consciousness is — and where it comes from. Now, a new study offers a potential breakthrough: researchers may have identified a unique “consciousness signature” in the brain that helps explain how awareness arises. Published in Nature, the study uses advanced brain imaging and machine learning to detect…
With Donald Trump signalling a return to aggressive protectionist trade policies — including a proposed 10% universal tariff on all imports — U.S. businesses are already bracing for impact. While the 2024 election is months away, the private sector isn’t waiting around to prepare for a possible Trump 2.0 presidency. From reshoring supply chains to…
