ISRO has invited Indian researchers to submit proposals to access data from the Aditya L1 solar mission in a second round. The call offers potential access to more than 27 TB of observations, some of which have already supported scientific publications. Approved observations for this cycle are expected to run between July and September, giving scientists a new window to decode solar activity.
India is positioning itself to lead the 6G revolution, but the path is far from smooth. From aligning research timelines and talent pipelines to securing the right spectrum and building industrial scale, multiple gaps could slow progress.

Indian doctoral and postdoctoral researchers are increasingly eyeing Canada as concerns grow over US research funding and visa stability. Canada’s new initiatives are being seen as a clearer route to long-term research careers, especially in fast-moving fields like artificial intelligence and healthcare. The shift reflects a wider focus on risk management and predictable research environments.
Research by Jacob N. Shapiro suggests support for extremist groups in Pakistan is strongest among the middle class. The study argues that while poorer people are more visible among perpetrators of terrorism, middle-class households can better buffer themselves from its negative effects. As a result, they may provide more financial and social backing to extremist networks.
