⚛️ Majorana current driven by charge flow in magnet/graphene

Researchers have investigated the Majorana current generated when a charge current flows through Kitaev magnet/graphene bilayers. This study specifically focused on how Majorana fermions within the Kitaev magnet are moved by electrons present in graphene. The team calculated the Majorana current density using a perturbation based on Kondo-type Majorana-electron coupling. This result provides an analytical expression showing electronic control over charge-neutral Majorana fermions. Furthermore, the paper discusses the Majorana heat current induced by charge current and estimates their respective magnitudes.

🔬 Dietary protein controls liver metabolism pathway

Dietary protein regulates the role of insulin signaling in how the liver manages food intake. Researchers using a liver-specific mouse model found that AKT-mediated TSC2 phosphorylation drives mTORC1 induction by insulin. This study, published on August 31, 2026, showed that dietary protein is needed for postprandial hepatic mTORC1 activation. Interestingly, mTORC1 signaling wasn't boosted in diet-induced obesity despite poor insulin control. Further investigation will clarify the full hierarchy of physiological signals governing this process. 🔬

⚖️ Hague panel says India must stick to water deal with Pakistan

A Hague arbitration panel has ruled that India must honor the existing water-sharing treaty with Pakistan. The ruling specifically addressed disputes concerning river water distribution between the two nations. This decision was reached following detailed arguments presented during the proceedings. The treaty was established to manage shared water resources in the region. Moving forward, both countries are expected to comply with this binding arbitration outcome. ⚖️

🚦 Revanth Reddy's 1000 Days: Power Play Continues

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has completed his thousandth day in office amid aggressive Telangana political battles. He has maintained a strong central leadership despite various group politics incidents. The free RTC bus travel program and consistent law and order have been major successes for his administration. However, public opinion suggests he might need more diplomacy when criticizing KCR publicly. The next big test will be sustaining this momentum leading up to the next elections. 🚦

🕷️ Spider-Man: No Way Home Hits Big in India

😥 US citizen's family seeks help amid terror charges

A U.S. citizen, Matthew Van Dyke, is held by NIA on terror charges for allegedly training armed groups in Myanmar. He was detained at Kolkata airport on March 11 and later arrested by the NIA. As of August 31, 2026, his judicial custody is extended until September 8, and his health concerns are mounting. His family reports he is on a liquid-only hunger strike and lacks proper medical care in Tihar Jail. Diplomatic intervention was sought after the External Affairs Ministry had not responded to their pleas. 😥

🔬 New Physics Paper on Mass Generation in Honeycomb Lattice

Researchers have found evidence for a direct continuous transition related to symmetric mass generation in a bilayer honeycomb lattice model. This study was conducted using sign-problem-free projector determinant quantum Monte Carlo simulations involving SU(2)×SU(2)×SU(2)/ℤ2 symmetry. The findings indicate that single-particle and bosonic gaps open near Jc≈2.6, with a correlation-length exponent ν=1.14(2). Furthermore, they obtained an unbiased estimate of the fermion anomalous dimension, ηψ=0.071(1), which challenges prior large-N predictions. This work helps constrain the theoretical descriptions of SMG criticality in physics. 🔬

⛏️ Aus uni invites Singareni for mineral exploration

A delegation from Monash University met with Singareni Collieries Company Ltd officials in Hyderabad on Monday. The Australian university invited Singareni to collaborate on exploring critical mineral resources in Australia. The meeting focused on the global demand for these minerals and potential partnerships. Monash University offered technical expertise in sustainable mining and viable business strategies. The discussion also covered downstream processing opportunities beyond just raw mineral extraction.

⚽ Messi hangs up his boots for Argentina

Lionel Messi has officially announced his retirement from international football following a difficult decision. The Inter Miami forward shared this news on Instagram, stating he has given his all for the national jersey. This decision comes after the recent passing of his father, Jorge Messi. Despite club success, Messi secured back-to-back Copa América wins and the 2022 World Cup. He will not compete in the 2026 World Cup after Argentina reached the final and lost to Spain. 😥

🛡️ Operation Safed Sagar: Who's Your Wingman?

Operation Safed Sagar is an ongoing initiative focused on identifying key support personnel. The mission involves various teams operating across different zones to ensure comprehensive coverage. Specific operational details and team compositions are still under tight security protocols. This operation aims to strengthen ground support networks in sensitive areas. Future phases will likely involve scaling up the deployment of these identified wingmen.
