MIT engineers have developed “mini livers” that could be injected into the body and take over the functions of the failing liver. This would help patients who are on a waitlist for a liver transplant or those who aren’t healthy enough to tolerate surgery. news.mit.edu/2026/injectabl…

It’s logical for India to hold off on signing a trade deal until the Trump vs Court debate on tariffs has a clear winner. But: these aren’t logical times.

IIT Madras just launched India's first indigenous silicon photonics technology. Two solutions: a Photonic Design Kit and a Photonic Integrated Circuit Test Engine. Both built entirely in India. Most people will not understand why this matters. Here is why. Silicon photonics uses light instead of electrons to move data inside chips. This is the technology behind every AI data centre, every 5G backbone, and every high-speed cloud network. Intel, TSMC, and GlobalFoundries all have silicon photonics programs. Now IIT Madras does too. The design kit lets Indian chip designers create photonic circuits without depending on foreign IP libraries. The test engine lets them validate designs domestically. Until today, both required sending designs abroad for fabrication and testing. India already has 125,000 chip design engineers and four commercial fabs under construction. Silicon photonics adds a new layer — the ability to design chips that process data at the speed of light, not just the speed of electrons. The skeptics will say this is academic research, not commercial product. They said the same thing about IIT Madras's processor design program. That program produced Shakti, India's first indigenous RISC-V processor. Now RISC-V is in production at multiple Indian companies. The pipeline from lab to fab is shorter than people think.

The Israeli Army destroyed solar panels used to provide the Lebanese Christian town of Debl with electricity & supply power to the town's water station. It also destroyed some homes & olive trees. This the town where an Israeli soldier was pictured breaking the statue of Christ

Russian journalist Vasily Golovnin says India is rapidly emerging as a new player in the global arms market, increasingly competing with Russia in regions that were once Moscow's traditional strongholds. He notes that India’s defence exports reached $4 billion in 2025, an astonishing 56 times higher than when Narendra Modi took office in 2014. According to Golovnin, India has broken into entirely new markets since 2020. The Philippines now accounts for 42% of its arms exports, followed by Armenia (32%) and Vietnam (11%). Armenia in particular has pivoted away from Russia.

India approved 139 data centres worth $10 billion in investment in the last 18 months. Total capacity under construction: 2.5 GW. This is not a tech story. This is an energy and real estate story. A single hyperscale data centre consumes as much power as a small city. The 2.5 GW pipeline is equivalent to adding the power demand of three Jaipur-sized cities — just for data centres. Adani, Reliance, Tata, CtrlS, NTT, Equinix — all building simultaneously across Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Noida. AWS, Google, and Microsoft have each committed over $5 billion to Indian cloud infrastructure. NVIDIA is backing Indian AI startups at seed stage. Here is the problem nobody is solving fast enough: where does the power come from? India's grid is already at 95% peak utilisation in summer. Adding 2.5 GW of always-on data centre load requires either massive new generation capacity or dedicated renewable installations. This is why the semiconductor and data centre stories are connected. India cannot be an AI power without reliable 24/7 power. The grid infrastructure bottleneck — not talent, not capital — will determine whether India becomes an AI hub or just an AI consumer.

The Chen Liangyu case was what got me interested in CCP elite politics and the way power operates in that system. It's a fascinating case and one that involved political alignments, regions v the center, power transition, and even question marks about the involvement of the MSS/MPS.

> Zorawar done ✅ > Vikram done ✅ The only thing left atp is Project Ranjeet. Man, we are this 🤏 close towards complete armoured inhouse solutions, very close. Please shun imports and support our own indigenous platforms plus promote them for exports.

Private sector plus DRDO have produced a great armoured platform and expected to meet all requirements of the Army. More successful programmes expected soon

NBC confirms for the first time what many of us already suspected or knew: the Iranian Air Force bombed US bases in the opening phase of the war.

Very fruitful visit to Pakistan, whose good offices and brotherly efforts to bring back peace to our region we very much value. Shared Iran's position concerning workable framework to permanently end the war on Iran. Have yet to see if the U.S. is truly serious about diplomacy.

MEET THE NEW HEAD OF MOSSAD The 14th head of Mossad is expected to assume his post in two months. But his appointment by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is already stirring unease inside the 8000 workforce of the agency and in the public at large. Gofman is widely regarded as the most controversial, politicized, and inexperienced candidate ever chosen to head the Mossad, a man whose grasp of strategic special operations and international relations appears limited. These are not peripheral skills, of course. Over the past two decades, a Mossad chief’s deep understanding of such subjects has become central to Israel’s ability to gather intelligence on its most formidable adversaries, particularly Iran and Hezbollah. Despite completing various military and academic programs, Gofman does not speak English, a shortcoming that could hinder his ability to build rapport with the Mossad’s most important partner, the CIA. Born in 1976 in a part of the former Soviet Union that is now Belarus, he immigrated to Isral in 1990. The broad-faced, bespeckled Gofman has not expanded his linguistic skills beyond Hebrew and Russian, an unusual constraint for someone poised to lead one of the world’s most internationally engaged intelligence services. More troubling, however, are questions surrounding his moral judgment and ethical compass. Gofman has been accused on several occasions of misleading his commanders and acting without authorization. As an IDF colonel in the occupied West Bank, he ran Palestinian agents in unsanctioned, rogue activities. And he firmly believes he has the right, no matter the rules. During his military studies, Gofman wrote that a commander must at times act even without formal authority, exceeding his mandate to fulfill the perceived will of policymakers—even when that will has not been explicitly defined. He claimed to have drawn intellectual grounding for this approach from the writings of the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, a neo-Marxist philosopher and author known for peppering his many books, articles and speeches with obscene jokes and politically incorrect provocations. In Gofman’s adaptation, a military commander operates within a “discursive space,” identifying an external “anchoring point” beyond himself and the system and acting accordingly—in other words, outside the lines. Over the past two years, Gofman has served as military secretary to Netanyahu, who dispatched him on several sensitive missions, including efforts to appease Russian President Vladimir Putin and his advisers on issues like Ukraine, Syria and Gaza. Before Gofman’s appointment, Israeli media reported that he had been interviewed by Sara Netanyahu, the prime minister’s influential wife, widely seen as the power behind her husband’s decisions. The prime minister’s office denied the allegation. What is less disputed is Gofman’s evident loyalty. He proved highly responsive to Netanyahu’s expectations and made sustained efforts to align with and carry out his increasingly authoritarian politics. In his capacity as the prime minister’s military expert, he argued that Netanyahu should be excused from testifying in his corruption trial on the grounds of “security concerns” -a position other senior officers declined to endorse. At 18, like all Israeli youths, he was drafted into compulsory military service. He aspired to join a commando unit but was instead assigned to the Armored Corps, where he would spend his entire career—never in an intelligence billet. He served first as a soldier and later as a commander, operating in Gaza and the West Bank against Palestinian militants, and in Lebanon against Hezbollah. His most senior field role came at the rank of brigadier general, when he commanded a division along the Syrian border. It was there, in 2022, that he became entangled in the most serious controversy of his career. An intelligence officer under his command covertly recruited Uri Elmakias, a 17-year-old technological prodigy, to disseminate false information on social media as part of an effort to mislead Hezbollah operatives and Iranian officers. Uri was never formally enlisted in the army; his recruitment was carried out without the knowledge of Gofman’s superiors in the general staff. When Israel’s internal security service, the Shin Bet (aka Shabak), detected Uri’s online activity, he was arrested on suspicion of espionage. During interrogation, he immediately identified Gofman as the person behind his recruitment. But once it became clear that the operation had crossed legal boundaries—for, among other reasons, Uri was a minor—Gofman denied ever knowing him. The teenager was left to face the consequences alone. He spent a year and a half in detention, undergoing repeated interrogations (and abuse, he said) before ultimately being fully acquitted by the court. Gofman, was reprimanded but continued his military career uninterrupted, eventually rising to become Netanyahu’s military adviser. In that role, he handled highly sensitive intelligence materials and, according to media reports, facilitated leaks aimed at shaping public perception in the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas massacre—casting primary responsibility on the military for being unprepared while deflecting scrutiny from Netanyahu and his right-wing cabinet. In the meantime, Uri Elmakias has resurfaced, seeking accountability and compensation. In a recent appeal to the Supreme Court, he posed a stark question: “Is a person who left me to languish in prison for more than a year—while repeatedly misleading investigators and the court about his role in recruiting me—fit to lead one of Israel’s most important security agencies?” It’s a question a number of Israelis, including high ranking IDF and Mossad officers, are asking. Outgoing Mossad boss David Barnea is one of them. Barnea, who is set to step down in June, told the committee weighing Gofman’s appointment that a reprimand for conduct unbecoming should disqualify a candidate from promotion, “certainly for the position of Mossad chief.” “Handling sources is a profession,” Barnea told the committee, according to its summary. “There is one unit in the military that deals with it. When a commander decides to bypass procedures or military law, it has very significant implications.”

Trump sends a DM to a New York Post reporter who is in Islamabad: Come home!!!

🚨President Trump told me: "I see no point of sending them on an 18 hour flight in the current situation [of the negotiations]. It's too long. We can do it just as well by telephone. The Iranians can call us if they want. We are not gonna travel just to sit there" 🚨When asked whether it means he is going to resume the war Trump told me: "No. It doesn't mean that. We haven't thought about it yet"

So the powerplay seems to where teams want to target so far, which #IPL2026 player has done this the best? The best PP players aren’t just consistent, they’re destructive. Players like Abhishek Sharma, Arya, and Sooryavanshi sit in a different tier entirely. With a High strike rate and solid average, the match is already titled in their teams favour in 6 overs You don’t “build” in the PP anymore. You dominate.
