In the expansion of India’s scientific footprint lies an uncomfortable truth: the country now ranks third globally for life science research papers retracted from the record, according to a comprehensive study1 analysing more than 13,500 retractions over 40 years. India ranks just after China and the United States for the largest number of papers withdrawn for...
India produces a large quantity of scientific research, ranking 4th globally in terms of total research publications in 2020 according to Elsevier SciVal and having the 9th largest number of publications in journals included in the Science Citation Index. However, the country is comparatively lower in terms of the innovation environment it offers, being placed...
In 2026, new technology trends mean capabilities that meet three practical filters: This year’s technology story is less about new tools and more about new operating models:...
At the recent international conference on Artificial Intelligence held in New Delhi, heads of state from across the world, CEOs of multi-national companies and leading technology experts expressed strong optimism about the role India is poised to play in shaping the future of science, technology, and innovation. As Artificial Intelligence increasingly defines global competitiveness, India’s...
Carney’s comments came after some of his political opponents in Canada criticised him for inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7 summit...
India is rapidly becoming a digital-first economy, but the pace of data protection policies has not kept up. While millions rely on online platforms for banking, shopping, and communication, concerns around data misuse continue to grow. Stronger enforcement and transparency from tech companies are essential to build long-term trust....
Rajagopal Parthasarathy, who passed away on March 7, in Saratoga Springs, New York, seems to have faded from the poetic consciousness of my generation. While his contemporaries, Adil Jussawalla and Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, for instance, or even A.K. Ramanujan, seem to have kept pace with us, Partha, as his friends called him, was flattened early...
Humans need to be assured of a predictable and secure future to remain productive in every way. Technological innovations so far have by and large promised these. But now, the arrival of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is forcing us to look at tomorrow’s world through a different lens. What we see there is a society...
AI is the new space race for data centers, and consistency at speed is the rocket fuel that colocation and hyperscale providers need to reach orbit. Everything you already know about physical security still applies but it won’t matter unless you have the right plan and partnerships in place to scale without sacrificing quality. Growth...
DENVER — Static electricity is a touchy subject. Touch or rub two materials together, and they can exchange electric charge. But the details behind the phenomenon of static electricity are poorly understood. Now, scientists have identified a hidden factor at play. A thin veneer of carbon-rich molecules alters how identical materials exchange charge, scientists report in...
India is the first major democracy to legislate AI governance. That is something to be proud of. But the bill’s exemption clauses for government AI systems — covering 41% of all high-risk applications — risk making a landmark law into a hollow symbol. We need to fix this now, in committee, before it becomes law....
