Hallucinations: The Challenge of Factual Accuracy in Large Language Models
by Shreyashree S Rao, Lakshmi Sanjana P
Feb 21, 2026
Large Language Models can write and chat with human-like fluency. But sometimes, they confidently generate completely fabricated information—a flaw known as hallucination. LLMs predict text based on patterns in data rather than verified understanding. Hallucinations arise due to problematic training data, probabilistic design of the models and vague user prompts. The stakes vary: harmless in creative writing, but dangerous in medicine, finance or public discourse where misinformation spreads fast.
AI-Powered AR/VR Training for Space Exploration
by Neha Nair, Rupa
Feb 21, 2026
India’s space journey is entering a new era with AI-powered AR/VR transforming how astronauts train for missions like Gaganyaan. Using real mission data and advanced simulations, astronauts can experience lifelike space conditions — from emergency re-entry to zero-gravity operations — before ever leaving Earth.
Into the Abyss: The Strange Resilience of Creatures in the Deep Ocean
by Sudhiksha Varanasi
Feb 19, 2026
Deep-sea life thrives under crushing pressure, freezing temperatures, and complete darkness. Through remarkable evolutionary adaptations, these organisms survive where few others can. Studied using advanced ocean technology, they offer powerful insights for science and biomimicry.
THE BRAIN: IS IT STATIC OR PLASTIC? A DEEP DIVE INTO NEUROANTHROPOLOGY
by Shreya Kandrika, Sai Gouri Gembali
Feb 4, 2026
This article on neuroanthropology argues that the human brain is a dynamic, plastic organ, physically rewired by culture and behavior, rather than a static storage medium. It details how cultural frameworks—specifically the contrast between Western individualism and Eastern collectivism—shape neural pathways, leading Westerners to favor analytic processing and personal achievement rewards. At the same time, Easterners exhibit holistic perception and find reward in social harmony. Beyond mental constructs, the text identifies
Quantum Communication Systems
by Shreesh B Haridas
Jan 27, 2026
Imagine sending a message that could never be secretly copied, intercepted, or cracked later. Every time you send a text, or make a payment, invisible bits of data travel across the world to make it happen. Modern life depends on fast and reliable data transfer, even though most of us never think about how fragile that system really is. Classical communication systems use electrical signals, light, or electromagnetic waves to represent bits which are the smallest units of information.
Digital Twin-Driven Autonomous Car Manufacturing
by Chetana V iyer, Akshath Srinivas
Jan 24, 2026
The article explains how digital twins, virtual models that mirror real machines using live sensor data, are transforming autonomous car manufacturing. It covers the idea’s origins in NASA’s Apollo 13 mission, then describes how digital twins work by collecting data, creating a synchronized virtual model, and running simulations to predict issues and improve performance.
From Bat Heads to Base Pairs: The Ozzy Osbourne Genome Project
by NITHYAANAGHA M
Jan 23, 2026
Article summary: Ozzy Osbourne had survived enough intoxicants to kill a small nation. Was it pure luck or a genetic shield? His 2010 genome project turned rock-star folklore into hard science. If one man carries 300,000 unknown variants, what hidden shield lies within your own code? As sequencing costs plummet, we are finally mapping the global tapestry of human diversity—from heavy metal legends to entire nations.
The rise of UPI
by Akshata Amara, Dhriti Kamani
Jan 23, 2026
UPI turned India into a country where a chai stall and a billion-dollar bank run on the same rails. Born in 2016, it survived demonetization, exploded during COVID, and now processes more transactions than Visa, at nearly zero cost, with 99.99% uptime.
Ancient Observations, Modern Interpretations: The Astronomical Foundations of Vedic Astrology
by M A Saindhavi, Abhinav.J
Jan 22, 2026
Astronomy, as we all know, is the study of celestial objects and phenomena beyond Earth’s atmosphere—stars, planets, galaxies, black holes, the origin of the universe etc etc. However, there’s more to it than meets the eye, something undiscovered yet, but surely existing.

UNCOVERING YTHDF2: A PROTEIN HELPING CANCER CELLS EVADE IMMUNOTHERAPY
by Pragathi, Ruchita
Nov 28, 2025
Immunotherapy is one of the popular methods for treating cancers, where the body’s immune system is triggered to fight off cancer cells. However, cancer cells are intelligent and can evolve mechanisms that can make them resistant to immunotherapy, thereby causing them to proliferate further and spread to different parts of the body, resulting in potential metastasis. Cancer cells can develop methods to hide from the immune system, like certain dormant HIV particles. One such biomarker, implicated in helping cancer cells conceal themselves, that has been identified by researchers is a protein called YTHDF2
REACH FOR THE ASTEROIDS: THE PROMISE AND POTENTIAL OF ASTEROID MINING
by Hafsa Ariba, Vijayalakshmi Gunaga
Nov 28, 2025
Asteroid mining has been a topic of interest since the late 1960s, and as of late has become more relevant due to technological advancements and the growing scarcity of important resources on Earth. A recent headline noted that a 500-meter-wide platinum-rich asteroid could contain nearly 175 times the annual global platinum output. Now this obviously comes across as unrealistic, but it definitely got people talking
MAYA, MILES AND THE SUBTLE ART OF CONVERSATIONAL MAGIC
by Deeksha Kashyap
Nov 28, 2025
Enter SESAME - a conversational voice bot, so intuitive it feels like it’s reading your mind. Between the micro-pauses, the shifts in tonality and the emotional responses, talking to them felt so real, it gave me chills. And the best part? We have not one, but two personalities, each distinct, engaging, and ready to chat about anything.
HERALD OF THE QUANTUM AGE: MAJORANA 1
by Darshana Muraly, Neha Nair
Nov 28, 2025
Quantum computing is a multidisciplinary field that utilizes quantum mechanics to solve complex problems way faster than classical computers. The building blocks of quantum computers are qubits, the quantum equivalent to the classic bits 0 and 1. But unlike the classical bit, the qubit introduces a new state – a superposition state where it exists simultaneously as 0 and 1. This allows quantum computers to do many things at once, and perform certain calculations faster than classical computers.
DEATH ON DEMAND? THE SCIENCE, ETHICS, AND FUTURE OF ASSISTED SUICIDE TECHNOLOGIES
by Adithy S, Shirali Rajaneesh
Nov 17, 2025
The evolution and practices of end-of-life care and “the right to die” reflect the complexities of morality, dignity, and compassion. Historically, societies have always grappled with legal and ethical considerations surrounding death, which has led to diverse beliefs and medical procedures. The discourse has only intensified in the past few decades, with a focus on assisted suicide, which refers to the practice of intentionally aiding individuals in ending their lives to reduce suffering. The progress of technology in this field has only served to strengthen this discussion.
