Two 18-year-old students from Pennsylvania have developed an innovative, low-cost exhaust filter that turns harmful vehicle emissions into oxygen using microalgae.
Rohan Kapoor and Jack Reichert created the Go Green Filter, a compact device that easily attaches to a car’s tailpipe. The filter uses living microalgae to capture carbon dioxide and other pollutants, releasing clean oxygen in their place.
Inspired by research from an MIT professor, the pair spent nearly a year perfecting their prototype. According to Chester County Press, the device costs only about $50 to produce and has demonstrated a remarkable 74% reduction in emissions during testing.
The teenagers estimate that if their filter were installed on all vehicles worldwide, it could potentially cut global carbon emissions by more than 16%.
A simple yet powerful idea that proves young innovators can make a real impact on the climate crisis.
McMurtry Automotive has unveiled the production version of its Spéirling Pure, a single-seat electric track car that generates up to 2,000 kilograms of downforce — more than the car's own weight — using a proprietary fan-based system that runs at up to 23,000 rpm. The result is a car capable of 3g cornering and braking, 0-60 mph in 1.55 seconds, and yes, driving upside down — a feat the prototype demonstrated last year as the world's first car to do so. The system generates full downforce even at zero miles per hour. The production version upgrades include a larger 100kWh battery (up from 60kWh), new fan blades for durability, improved fan motors, and an onboard air compressor allowing the driver to retract the underbody skirt independently. Power comes from twin rear electric motors producing 986 horsepower. Despite the battery upgrade adding approximately 301 kilograms over the prototype, the car remains shorter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata. Range is 25-31 miles at maximum LMP2 race pace. McMurtry will build just 100 units, each handcrafted at its Cotswolds workshop, priced at £995,000 — approximately $1.3 million — plus tax.

The ancient Theater of Epidaurus in Greece is over 2,300 years old and so remarkably well preserved that it still hosts live performances today.
The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus is one of the finest surviving theaters of the ancient Greek world. Located in the Peloponnese near the modern village of Ligourio, it forms part of the Sanctuary of Asclepius, one of antiquity’s most important healing centers dedicated to the Greek god of medicine.
Constructed in the late fourth century B.C., the theater was built within a sacred complex where visitors sought both physical and spiritual healing. Ancient Greeks viewed health as a balance of body and mind, so the sanctuary combined medicine with religious rituals, athletics, music, and dramatic performances.
The theater is especially celebrated for its remarkable acoustics. A speaker standing in the circular orchestra at its center can be heard clearly from the highest rows without any modern amplification. Its elegant proportions, near-perfect symmetry, and hillside setting have made it one of the greatest architectural achievements of the Hellenistic world.
With seating for approximately 12,000 to 14,000 spectators, the theater continues to host live performances today, particularly during the Athens Epidaurus Festival, where audiences still experience ancient Greek drama in the same venue used more than 2,300 years ago.
In 1988, the Sanctuary of Asclepius at Epidaurus, including the theater, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On Nov 1, 2025, Amaira, a Class 4 student, died by suicide after jumping from the fourth floor of the Neerja Modi School in Jaipur.
She had been bullied for 18 months, with classmates targeting her using "bad words," many of which carried sexual undertones. However, her class teacher repeatedly dismissed complaints from both Amaira and her parents, telling them instead that she needed to adjust to the other kids.
The parents have now released the school CCTV footage they obtained to the public. The footage reveals that even on the day of her death, Amaira approached the teacher multiple times for help but was ignored.
Hard to believe that teachers, even at such posh schools, are not trained to handle severe bullying or recognize a child in deep psychological distress. Totally preventable death.

Former IAS officer S Lakshminarayanan has publicly alleged that a gold-plated copy of the Ramcharitmanas, which he says is worth around Rs 5 crore, has been moved from the Ram Temple.
According to Lakshminarayanan, his family donated the gold-plated Ramcharitmanas to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust in April 2024. He claimed that the religious text was later shifted from the temple premises.

The Atacama Giant in Chile is the world's largest prehistoric human geoglyph, built around 1000–1400 AD. The 119m desert figure likely served as an astronomical calendar to track seasons, crops, and rainfall, and is culturally linked to the Andean creator deity Tunupa-Tarapaca.
Carved into the slopes of Cerro Unitas in Chile's Atacama Desert, the Atacama Giant stands approximately 119m tall, making it the largest known prehistoric anthropomorphic geoglyph in the world. Archaeologists believe it was created by indigenous Andean peoples between 1000-1400 AD, during a period when extensive trade networks connected communities across the Andes and Pacific coast.
Unlike Peru's Nazca Lines, which are famous for their geometric and animal designs, the Atacama Giant is thought to have had a practical as well as spiritual function. Some researchers propose that the figure's distinctive head ornaments and alignments may have been used to track the position of the moon and seasonal cycles, helping communities predict rainfall and determine the best times for planting and travel across one of the driest regions on Earth.
The geoglyph remains one of more than 5,000 known prehistoric earthworks discovered throughout the Atacama Desert, making the region one of the world's richest concentrations of ancient landscape art.
The Atacama Desert's extreme aridity, some areas receive less than 1 millimeter of rain annually, has preserved many geoglyphs for over a thousand years with remarkably little erosion.

Finally, people have started saying enough to this VIP culture. You hardly see this level of roadblocks in most countries. Here, every other day there’s a new VIP, traffic is stopped, ambulances wait, and thousands of people are expected to just keep waiting.
