#WHYSeries?
Why do birds begin singing before sunrise?
The dawn chorus is nature’s morning symphony. In the quiet hours before daylight, birds sing to defend their territories, attract mates and communicate when cooler, calmer air can carry their voices farther.
But perhaps there is something more beautiful to remember: while the world is still waking, nature has already begun its song.
Every sunrise reminds us that a new day brings a new opportunity to speak, create and make a difference.
A remarkable moment in the evolution of robotics.
At the #WorldHumanoidRobotGames in #Beijing, a humanoid robot developed by the Beijing Innovation Centre of Humanoid Robotics reportedly completed the 100m in 9.39 seconds - faster than Jamaican runner Bolt’s human world record of 9.58 seconds, set in 2009.
The competition goes far beyond speed, featuring boxing, football and even practical household tasks such as folding laundry.
This is more than a race against a record. It is a glimpse of how #artificialintelligence, #robotics and #engineering are converging to create machines that can move, learn and perform in increasingly human-like ways.
Humanity’s greatest achievement is not being surpassed by machines - it is having the imagination to build them.

On this day, we celebrate Albert Claude and Hamilton O. Smith - scientific pioneers whose discoveries changed how we understand life at its most fundamental level.
#AlbertClaude - 1974 Nobel Prize in #Medicine. His pioneering work in cell fractionation and electron microscopy helped reveal the cell’s intricate internal organization, laying foundations for modern cell biology.
#HamiltonOSmith - 1978 Nobel Prize in Medicine. His discovery of restriction enzymes gave scientists powerful tools to cut and study DNA, helping launch the era of molecular genetics and biotechnology.
Their remarkable contributions remind us that when #curiosity meets #perseverance, it can transform our understanding of #life and open entirely new frontiers of #science.
“જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત” is more than a song - it is the heartbeat of a language, a culture and a people whose spirit travels across generations and borders.
On #WorldGujaratiLanguageDay, let us honour #KaviNarmad and all who enriched Gujarati, while pledging to speak, read, write and pass on our beautiful માતૃભાષા with pride.
ગુજરાતી ગૌરવ, ગુજરાતનું ગૌરવ!🙏
Humanity is preparing to take a new kind of power to Mars!
NASA’s planned Space Reactor-1 Freedom mission could demonstrate how #nuclearenergy can generate #electricity in #deepspace - an important step toward powering future human missions across the #SolarSystem.
From #Earth to #Mars and beyond, every bold frontier begins with the courage to innovate and the imagination to dream bigger.

Greetings on World Gujarati Language Day on 24 August 2026!
#Language is more than words - it is the soul of a civilisation, the memory of generations and a bridge to the future.
On #WorldGujaratiLanguageDay, let us celebrate the richness of #Gujarati, nurture it among our children and carry its timeless wisdom into a changing world.
A heartfelt tribute to all poets, writers, language leaders, teachers and mentors whose creativity, wisdom and dedication have enriched Gujarati and earned it a place of pride and respect.
ગુજરાતી ભાષા - આપણું ગૌરવ, આપણી ઓળખ, આપણો વારસો.

What if the next breakthrough in medicine comes not from a laboratory on Earth, but from the microgravity of space?
Bhubaneswar-based startup #SerendipitySpace is turning that possibility into reality with #Alchemy, an autonomous pharmaceutical manufacturing module designed to explore drug crystallisation in near-space and microgravity conditions.
This is the new face of India’s space journey - where space science meets healthcare, deep-tech meets imagination, and startups turn bold ideas into possibilities for humanity.
On #NationalSpaceDay, let us celebrate an India that does not merely reach for the stars, but uses the stars to improve life on Earth.
कभी-कभी बुद्धिमत्ता पंखों में भी दिखाई देती है।
एक कौए का पानी पाने के लिए नल खोलना और पानी पीने के बाद उसे बंद करना - प्रकृति में सीखने, याद रखने और समस्या का समाधान करने की अद्भुत क्षमता की झलक देता है।
प्रकृति हमें याद दिलाती है कि सीखने की जिज्ञासा और समझ केवल मनुष्य तक सीमित नहीं है।
जीवन की हर धड़कन में सीखने और खोजने की एक अनोखी कहानी छिपी है।
"So the real question is not, 'Will they get more intelligent than us?' but 'If they're more intelligent than us, will we have a way of making sure they don't want to take over?' and we just don't know – we don't know whether that's possible." – Geoffrey Hinton, 2024 physics laureate
In the latest episode of our podcast Nobel Prize Conversations, we feature highlights from our 2024 and 2025 laureates speaking about artificial intelligence.
Chemistry laureate Omar Yaghi is optimistic and speaks of how AI will double the rate of scientific discoveries. Daron Acemoglu, awarded the economic sciences prize, says we must have more regulation because powerful tech companies are making the important decisions when it comes to AI.

August 23 celebrates the birthdays of three remarkable #NobelLaureates whose work transformed our understanding of matter and life:
🔬 Robert F. Curl Jr. — buckyballs (Chemistry)
🧬 Thomas A. Steitz — the ribosome (Chemistry)
⚛️ Konstantin Novoselov — graphene (Physics)
Their discoveries remind us that curiosity can reveal entirely new worlds - from carbon nanostructures to the molecular machinery of life and the thinnest material known.
Great science begins with a question - and can change the future.
India’s space journey is a story of courage, curiosity, innovation and the power of dreams.
On #NationalSpaceDay, we salute and thank the brilliant scientists, engineers, technical teams, @isro, @INSPACeIND and India’s growing SpaceTech & DeepTech startups whose vision and perseverance are taking our nation to new frontiers.
From #Chandrayaan to the dreams of #Gaganyaan, a #BharatiyaAntarikshaStation and human footsteps on the Moon, India continues to reach for the stars - and inspire generations to dream beyond the horizon.
Jai Vigyan. Jai Anusandhan. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
A pen may do far more than put words on paper - it may help the brain learn, connect and remember!
Research suggests that handwriting engages brain networks involved in movement, sensory processing and memory, while typing often allows us to capture information faster and more efficiently.
In a world increasingly shaped by screens and keyboards, perhaps we should pause and rediscover the quiet power of pen, paper and thought.
Sometimes, slowing down is not a step backward - it is a deeper way of learning.
