The 2026 #Nobel Prize in #Literature goes to Canadian poet Anne Carson 🇨🇦

She writes with 2,600-year-old voices.

She translated Sappho's torn papyrus poems and left the holes in, retold a Greek monster as a shy boy in love, and put a book in a box.

Your hands are mirror images. So are many molecules, and all life on Earth uses only one "hand".

How did chemistry choose one? T

India's cheetahs just got a third home. 🐆

Vyom and Neera were released into the Veerangana Durgavati Tiger Reserve in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh. All three cheetah sites are now in MP.

Why spread them out? One disease or drought could wipe out a single group. 🧵👇

The 2026 #Nobel Prize in #Chemistry goes to Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai.

They answered a 100-year-old riddle: life uses only one "hand" of its molecules.

How did chemistry learn to pick one? 👇

1/ India's own airship just touched the stratosphere 🎈

DRDO's High-Altitude Platform climbed to 21 km, held 20 km for 30+ minutes, and came back intact.

That is about twice as high as airliners fly, and far above all weather.

Why it matters 🧵

[GyanGram @GyanGram_UPSC]

3/ Why 20 km?

Weather stays in the troposphere, below about 12 km. The stratosphere above is calm and dry, so an airship can hold position over one area.

A low-orbit satellite passes over in minutes. A geostationary one sits about 36,000 km away.

The 2026 Physics #Nobel goes to Francis Halzen for IceCube: a telescope buried 2 km deep in Antarctic ice that catches "ghost particles" from deep space. 🧊

And UPSC asked about IceCube back in Prelims 2015 👇 #NobelPrize #UPSC

[GyanGram @GyanGram_UPSC]

Neutrinos: no charge, not bent by magnetic fields, so they point back to their source.

IceCube sees them through blue Cherenkov light.
