Nobel Peace Prize 2025
The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 was awarded to Maria Corina Machado "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy".
Nobel Prize in Literature 2025
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2025 is awarded to the Hungarian author László Krasznahorkai, “for his compelling and visionary oeuvre that, in the midst of apocalyptic terror, reaffirms the power of art.”
László Krasznahorkai is a great epic writer in the Central European tradition that extends through Kafka to Thomas Bernhard, and is characterised by absurdism and grotesque excess. But there are more strings to his bow, and he soon looks to the East in adopting a more contemplative, finely calibrated tone.
Nobel Prize in Physics 2025
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 was awarded jointly to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit".
Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025 was awarded jointly to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi "for the development of metal-organic frameworks".
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials that can be designed and used for a wide range of purposes. The laureates developed methods to create MOFs with specific structures and properties. Their discoveries have led to new ways of storing gases, separating chemicals, and catalysing reactions, with potential applications in energy, environmental protection, and medicine.
Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025. They have developed a new form of molecular architecture. In their constructions, metal ions function as cornerstones that are linked by long organic (carbon-based) molecules. Together, the metal ions and molecules are organised to form crystals that contain large cavities. These porous materials are called metal–organic frameworks (MOF). By varying the building blocks used in the MOFs, chemists can design them to capture and store specific substances. MOFs can also drive chemical reactions or conduct electricity.
Nobel Prize (Award) in Physiology or Medicine 2025
The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden has decided to award the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.”
India, Australia sign MoU to strengthen cooperation in food safety
In a major step towards enhancing food safety collaboration, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and Australia’s Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the FSSAI Headquarters in New Delhi. The agreement aims to enhance bilateral cooperation in the field of food safety by exchanging best practices, sharing knowledge, aligning import procedures, fostering technical collaboration, and implementing capacity-building initiatives.
India successfully tests Agni-Prime missile from rail-based launcher
India successfully conducted a test launch of the intermediate-range Agni-Prime missile from a rail-based mobile launcher system. The launch was carried out by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in collaboration with the Strategic Forces Command (SFC).
PSG’s Dembele, Barca’s Bonmati win Ballon d’Or awards in Paris
Ousmane Dembele was named the world’s best player of the season as he claimed the Ballon d’Or on a night of triumph for his Paris St Germain club, while Barcelona’s Aitana Bonmati, a serial trophy winner, claimed the women’s award. The 28-year-old French forward Dembele, who needed time and the guidance of PSG coach Luis Enrique to fulfill his potential as he inspired the capital club to their first Champions League title last season, became the sixth French player to lift the award and the first since Karim Benzema in 2022.
Indian scientists develop nanomaterial that stimulates brain cells without surgery
A team of Indian researchers has pioneered a nanomaterial that can interact with neurons directly, potentially transforming therapies for brain disorders by avoiding invasive techniques. The team from the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), an autonomous body under the Department of Science and Technology, has shown that graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) can naturally interact with neurons, encouraging them to grow, mature, and communicate more effectively. The findings, published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, also revealed that the material boosts dopamine production in lab-grown brain-like cells and reduces toxic proteins linked to Parkinson’s disease in animal models.
Rajnath Singh inaugurates TASL’s defence manufacturing facility in Morocco
Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and his Moroccan counterpart Abdelatif Loudyi jointly inaugurated Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL)’s state-of-the-art defence manufacturing facility in Berrechid, marking a historic milestone in India-Morocco strategic ties. Spread across 20,000 square metres, the facility will produce the indigenously developed Wheeled Armoured Platform (WhAP) 8×8, jointly designed by TASL and India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The platform features a modular design, advanced mobility, scalable ballistic and mine protection, independent suspension, high-power engine, and options for both manned and unmanned weapon stations. Configurations include infantry fighting vehicles, armoured personnel carriers, reconnaissance, command post, mortar carrier, and ambulance variants. The facility is the largest defence manufacturing plant in Morocco and the first of its kind by an Indian private company in Africa.
