Australia is considering restricting social media for younger users and is planning an age verification trial. The proposed age limit for social media access is expected to be between 14 and 16.
Should India adopt similar measures, given the increasing concerns about online child grooming on platforms like Instagram and Facebook and the rising societal issues related to this?

How we discovered a new type of wood - and how it could help fight climate change
https://theconversation.com/how-we-discovered-a-new-type-of-wood-and-how-it-could-help-fight-climate-change-236618
Midwood Classification:
A new wood type called "midwood" was identified, which has macrofibrils between those of hardwoods and softwoods.
Carbon Sequestration:
Tulip trees (Liriodendron tulipifera) can store two to six times more carbon than other species, enhancing their role in climate change mitigation.
Climate Change Implications:
Planting tulip trees could significantly aid carbon capture efforts, making them valuable for environmental conservation.
Research Techniques:
Advanced imaging methods (cryo-SEM) were used to study the wood's structure and its evolutionary adaptations.

How we discovered a new type of wood - and how it could help fight climate change
Tulip trees were long renowned for their carbon storage. Their unique wood may be responsible.

π½ Cultivating maize on drained peatlands for biomethane production emits three times more COβ than the emissions avoided by not using natural gas.
βπ§ͺThe carbon released from drained peatlands during cultivation outweighs the benefits of using biomethane as a renewable energy source.
ππͺ«The growing proportion of drained peat soils dedicated to bioenergy rather than food production is a concern.
π₯First-generation biofuels can reduce GHG emissions by 20-60%,while
πΊsecond-generation biofuels can achieve reductions of 70-90%,
excluding land-use change effects. However, some biofuels may emit more GHGs than fossil fuels due to the energy-intensive processes involved.

PM Modi inaugurates SEMICON India 2024, tells top chip execs India will support industry at every step.
β Semicon India 2024: With the theme "Shaping the Semiconductor Future."
β India's Semiconductor Vision:
-The government has been promoting its "Development of Semiconductors and Display Manufacturing Ecosystem" program to position India as a leader in semiconductor technology.
-India aims to reduce dependency on imports, especially from Taiwan, and develop indigenous capabilities.
β Key Investments:
- The Indian government has approved three major semiconductor fabrication plants with an investment of βΉ1.26 lakh crore. These units will be set up in Gujarat (Dholera and Sanand) and Assam (Morigaon), creating around 20,000 direct jobs and 60,000 indirect jobs.
-This initiative will strengthen Indiaβs position in key sectors like defense, telecommunications, and EV manufacturing.
β Global Significance:
- The semiconductor industry has become a geopolitical battleground, with countries like the US and China ramping up investments.
-India's strategic focus is on developing older technology nodes (28 nm), which will serve various industries including automotive, telecom, and defense.
β Challenges:
- Despite progress, India faces challenges such as competition from countries offering better incentives.
-A shortage of skilled labor for semiconductor manufacturing
- limited original R&D in chip design.
These developments are part of Indiaβs long-term vision for self-reliance in advanced technology, vital for the countryβs digital and defense futures.
Semiconductor:
β A semiconductor is a material with electrical conductivity that falls between that of a conductor (like copper) and an insulator (like rubber). Its ability to conduct electricity can be altered by introducing impurities (a process called doping), making it ideal for controlling electrical currents.
β Semiconductors form the basis of electronic components like transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits, which are critical in devices such as computers, smartphones, and solar cells. Common semiconductor materials include silicon and gallium arsenide.

Chandrayaan-3 has made a historic first by detecting over 250 seismic signals from the Moonβs south pole
π The significant findings were detailed in a recent paper published in ICARUS, Authored by ISRO researchers from the Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems (LEOS) in Bengaluru.
π The Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA), which was part of the Vikram Lander, recorded these seismic events from coordinates 69.37Β° S and 32.32Β° E
π Out of the 250 signals detected, around 200 were related to the activities of the mission itself.
π Researchers identified about 50 instances where the seismic signal amplitude significantly deviated from the expected background levels, possibly moonquakes.
π The study highlights a notable discovery: the longest continuous seismic signal recorded lasted 14 minutes, opening path for more reasearch.

πChandrayaan-3, launched by India on July 14, 2023, is the countryβs third lunar mission, designed specifically to achieve a soft landing on the Moonβs surface.

Do not amend the Waqf Act; Abrogate it.
A truly secular nation cannot afford to uphold boards that manage land based on religious doctrine. The very existence of the Waqf Board undermines the integrity of civic laws, which should operate impartially, free from religious influence. Amending this act is a superficial fixβits abolition is necessary.
Clinging to such relics of religious governance weakens the foundation of equality before the law. In a modern state, land and property should be governed under a unified civil code, ensuring fairness for all, irrespective of religion. Abrogation, not amendment, is the only logical step forward.
