What is Polylactic Acid (PLA)?
## 🔹 Why in News?
🧪 The Union Minister for Science and Technology recently launched the commercial use of bio-based biodegradable plastic made from Polylactic Acid (PLA).
## 🔹 What is Polylactic Acid (PLA)?
♻️ Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic polymer produced from renewable resources such as corn starch and sugarcane.
➡️ Thermoplastic means it can be softened by heating and reshaped.
➡️ PLA is produced through a two-step process:
Glucose fermentation → Lactic acid → Polymerization → PLA
➡️ Thus, renewable agricultural resources can be converted into a biodegradable plastic material.
## 🔹 Applications of PLA
📦 Food packaging: Used for making various packaging materials.
🏥 Medical field: Used for medical sutures.
🖨️ 3D printing: Used as a material because of its versatility and ease of processing.
➡️ Overall, PLA is valued for its eco-compatibility and versatility.

Enemy-State Clauses
## 🔹 Why in News?
🇯🇵 The Japanese Prime Minister has called for the removal of the “enemy-state clauses” from the UN Charter.
## 🔹 What are Enemy-State Clauses?
📜 The enemy-state clauses are World War II-era provisions in the UN Charter.
➡️ They were created in the context of the post-World War II international order.
➡️ These provisions were related to the former Axis powers, including Germany, Italy and Japan.
➡️ The provisions allowed certain coercive or military actions against former enemy states under circumstances provided in the UN Charter.
## 🔹 Where are these Clauses Mentioned?
📌 The relevant provisions are found in Articles 53, 77 and 107 of the UN Charter.
➡️ Article 53 deals with regional arrangements and enforcement action and contains a reference to enemy states.
➡️ Article 77 contains references to territories associated with enemy states in the context of the UN Trusteeship System.
➡️ Article 107 preserves certain actions related to the Second World War.
## 🔹 What has the UN said about these Clauses?
🇺🇳 The UN General Assembly recognized the enemy-state clauses as “obsolete” in 1995.
➡️ In 2005, the UNGA adopted a resolution supporting the deletion of references to “enemy States” from the UN Charter.
➡️ However, recognizing the clauses as obsolete is different from formally deleting them from the Charter.

Genius is not automatically good. Extraordinary ability can produce marvels or destructive consequences depending on how it is used.
“Evil genius” represents the harmful or destructive side of exceptional power/influence.
Overall message: Genius can create extraordinary achievements but can also be used for destructive purposes.

🏅 Nobel Prize 2026 | Physiology or Medicine
Light switches for the brain: Optogenetics
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine goes to Karl Deisseroth (Stanford, USA), Peter Hegemann (Humboldt University of Berlin) and Georg Nagel (University of Würzburg) "for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics."
✅ What is optogenetics?
A technique that uses light to switch specific nerve cells ON or OFF
✅ The science: Light-sensitive proteins from algae (channelrhodopsins) open or close ion channels, changing a neuron's electrical activity
✅ Who did what: Hegemann studied channelrhodopsins in algae, Nagel showed they can control cells with light, and Deisseroth turned it into a tool for living brains
✅ Why it's revolutionary: Cell-specific, millisecond-fast and far more precise than older methods
✅ Medical promise: Parkinson's, epilepsy, depression, blindness research and other brain disorders
