This study was conducted at Mohammed V University and Ibnou Zohr University, reporting a 15 percent increase in charging power. The research reveals a complex trade-off between energy storage capacity and the work extractable from a quantum Otto heat engine. While storage capacity rose sharply with greater dipolar coupling, the maximum work obtainable decreased slightly under stronger interactions. This challenges the assumption that improved energy retention automatically leads to better power output in quantum devices. https://memews.com/news/india-china-chat-peace-along-lac-border-cmta8mbhdvioscm8x 2026-08-25T17:32:28.000Z 0.6 https://www.hindustantimes.com/ht-img/img/2026/08/25/1600x900/logo/doval_wang_1787677366017_1787677372580_c018e1e5-8645-424f-8e5e-64c96ad15944.jpg India, China chat peace along LAC border India and China discussed peace and border delimitation during a meeting between NSA Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

This statement followed an Allahabad High Court order that questioned if the hijab was an 'essential religious practice' of Islam.

This decision was made by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) in response to recent industry controversies. The new code requires releases to be "substantially human made," meaning a human must write and perform the lead vocals. While AI tools can be used for tasks like mastering, the core creativity must be human-led. ARIA can retrospectively change chart positions if a song is found to be largely AI-generated. https://memews.com/news/ex-cds-says-india-might-have-hit-kirana-hills-cmt8tyk71e01ht8zaa 2026-08-25T15:20:00.000Z 0.6 https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-133516748,width-1280,height-720,resizemode-6,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-600/photo.jpg Ex-CDS says India might have hit Kirana Hills Former Chief of Defence Staff Anil Chauhan stated that India might have unintentionally struck Pakistan's Kirana Hills during Operation Sindoor.

The study, led by Reesha Patel, focused on adult male and female mice tested in community versus isolation settings on August 25th. Isolated male mice increased alcohol consumption, while female mice reduced it, which was confirmed by manipulating the BLA-mPFC circuit. This suggests that loneliness triggers different neural strategies between males and females regarding substance use.

These long-lasting 'fingerprints' from drugs like antidepressants and beta-blockers could be detected years after stopping treatment. This is crucial because the gut microbiome affects digestion and immunity, meaning past drug use matters. Doctors should now consider a patient's entire medication history when assessing gut health. 🔬 https://memews.com/news/tv-host-arrested-in-japan-over-buddha-relic-splash-cmtaqrcd1b61s8yaid 2026-08-25T13:56:43.000Z 0.6 https://c.ndtvimg.com/2026-08/jlqastn_tsai-yizhen_625x300_25_August_26.jpeg TV host arrested in Japan over Buddha relic splash A 39-year-old Taiwanese TV host was arrested at Kansai International Airport for allegedly pouring liquid on a historic Buddha relic.

Researchers from MIT and Boston University examined two groups, aged 17-39 and 41-80, to check this. During language tasks, the language processing network showed activity nearly identical to younger adults across both groups. Conversely, the decision-making network showed altered activity in older adults, being smaller and less synchronized.

This insight comes from the Irish poet and playwright, notably featured in his 1893 play, A Woman of No Importance. The quote dismantles rigid moral categorizations, showing people exist on a timeline of change. It argues against reducing a person's life solely to their lowest point or past mistakes. This is important today to push for acceptance of human evolution and second chances. 🎭 https://memews.com/news/gadkari-s-can-t-work-much-comment-clarified-cmt8l6qv71k1c278rn 2026-08-25T11:03:15.000Z 0.6 https://www.livemint.com/lm-img/img/2026/08/25/1600x900/logo/PTI08-18-2026-000015A-0_1787655001347_1787655024432_40faa9d9-5819-4006-ac0c-4089159820a5.jpg Gadkari's 'can't work much' comment clarified Speculation arose on social media after Union Minister Nitin Gadkari made remarks suggesting he could no longer work as much.

This association was found in a study involving 2,603 people, published in JAMA Network Open on August 25. Specifically, earlier menopause correlated with faster brain atrophy and earlier Alzheimer’s onset by approximately 1.8 years for every 10 years earlier transition. These findings highlight that ovarian hormone loss timing affects structural brain aging decades later. Researchers advise early identification and monitoring for women with early or surgical menopause. 🧠 https://memews.com/news/arsenal-drama-unhappy-players-side-with-martinelli-cmt8m7e1123132bot4 2026-08-25T11:02:18.000Z 0.6 https://d2x51gyc4ptf2q.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/2026/04/12125402/F365-Mikel-Arteta-with-Cracked-Arsenal-badge-1.jpg Arsenal drama?

Venezuela has recently risen to the fourth largest crude supplier for India, contributing around 8% of imports. However, Venezuelan supply is constrained, and the US remains its top buyer, limiting its ability to fully replace Russian volumes.

The report highlights weak links between learning, employment, and career progression, noting only 8.25% of graduates are in aligned jobs. With a 2025-26 budget allocating Rs 34,000 crore, the focus needs to shift from enrolment to real job outcomes. NITI Aayog proposes embedding vocational skills earlier and creating an integrated State Apprenticeship Platform.

A working GRC chain often breaks down at the 'joins'—like scope or dependency mapping—rather than within individual steps.

The target was Beacon Explorer B, which featured a laser retroreflector array for the experiment. Initially, the system achieved 10 feet accuracy, making it 25 times more precise than radar at that time. This technique evolved to study Earth's shape and gravity, leading to modern laser altimetry. Now, instruments like ICESat-2 use this principle to monitor ice loss, showing Greenland and Antarctica contributed 0.55 inches to sea-level rise between 2003 and 2019. 🧊 https://memews.com/news/nist-ditches-tiny-sensors-for-bigger-quantum-detectors-cmt8ekc41r7iq6uqb 2026-08-25T07:44:50.000Z 0.6 https://thequantuminsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Screenshot-2026-08-25-at-3.40.45-AM.png NIST ditches tiny sensors for bigger quantum detectors NIST researchers developed a new superconducting single-photon detector architecture that uses wires over 100 times wider than standard devices. This innovation was achieved by redesigning the detector using superconducting "rails" to manage electrical current across the wider wires. The team reported a billionfold reduction in dark counts in this new design. This advancement helps overcome limitations of nanoscale fabrication in detecting faint photons. Future testing is needed to confirm if these wider detectors match the 98% efficiency of smaller devices. 🔬 https://memews.com/news/xi-jinping-possibly-visiting-india-for-brics-2026-cmt98zvjyrj16puhqw 2026-08-25T07:44:23.000Z 0.6 https://www.hindustantimes.com/ht-img/img/2026/08/25/1600x900/logo/ANI-20250831024-0_1756624508192_1756624515059_1787643810110_4e1127ec-c01e-44cc-ac3b-8393356bf3a5.jpg Xi Jinping possibly visiting India for BRICS 2026 Chinese President Xi Jinping is anticipated to visit India for the BRICS Summit 2026.

This decision emphasizes that the IBC's statutory timelines must prevail over general procedural rules in this context. For instance, an appeal must be defect-free within the limitation period to be validly instituted. Furthermore, the court stated that a CoC-approved Resolution Plan is binding, and SRAs cannot renegotiate agreed-upon LoI conditions. The CoC's decision to liquidate is also considered a valid exercise of commercial wisdom and is not open to judicial review. ⚖️ https://memews.com/news/upi-hits-10-years-modi-praises-digital-leap-cmt8bghholt103shj5 2026-08-25T06:33:24.000Z 0.6 https://akm-img-a-in.tosshub.com/indiatoday/images/story/202608/some-banks-have-started-moving-toward-sustainable-monetisation-models-icici-bank-has-begun-charging-065442711-16x9.jpg?VersionId=1R9vLiS1RsLFIe4VakSP4wxL4BkW3yCj UPI hits 10 years, Modi praises digital leap 🇮🇳 Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) on Tuesday.

Researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University traced the CYP81Q gene, originally from a different flowering plant, into the parasitic dodder. This happened through horizontal gene transfer, allowing the dodder to gain the ability to produce sesamin, an antioxidant compound. Over time, "jumping DNA" altered the gene structure, yet its original function remained perfectly intact. This suggests gene evolution can continue inside parasites after initial transfer. https://memews.com/news/chennai-mom-s-3-second-rule-for-chill-parenting-cmt8azlfdkw1woy85z 2026-08-25T06:30:37.000Z 0.6 https://img-cdn.publive.online/fit-in/1200x675/english-betterindia/media/media_files/2026/08/24/calm-parenting-2026-08-24-18-36-48.png Chennai mom's 3-second rule for chill parenting A Chennai mother, Gayathri Prakash, experienced a sudden emergency when her son Yug was found covered in blood.
