Since the early 21st century, scientists have confirmed that the human brain emits weak light—not via electricity or heat, but through a chemical bioluminescent process involving free radicals and mitochondria. This phenomenon, known as 'biophotons', was first quantitatively measured in 2009 in Japan using ultra-sensitive cameras in absolute darkness. Though its brightness is only **1/1000 billion times weaker than visible light detectable by the human eye**, it is not mere metabolic noise—rather, it displays organized patterns correlated with cognitive states, sleep, and neurological disorders such as epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease. This discovery opens doors to radiation-free imaging technologies, early diagnosis of neurological diseases, and a revolutionary understanding of how information may be processed quantum-mechanically within the central nervous system.

US President Donald Trump praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as 'a very tough cookie' — his unique way of describing firmness, shrewdness, and resilience in negotiations. The compliment was delivered in an exclusive interview with Axios after the G7 summit in Apulia, Italy, in June 2024. Although US-India trade relations still face tensions — particularly regarding steel import tariffs, semiconductor technology export restrictions, and pharmaceutical market access — Trump emphasized that a bilateral trade agreement is in its final stages of negotiation. This occurs against the backdrop of a complex South Asian geopolitical landscape, where India seeks to maintain a strategic balance between Washington, Beijing, and Moscow while accelerating its domestic economic transformation.
A recent study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that excessive use of chatbots in daily problem-solving gradually weakens critical thinking skills and reduces individuals' ability to detect false information. The study was conducted on 1,247 university students and professional workers in the US and Canada between January and May 2026, with data showing an average 23% drop in deductive logic test performance after six weeks of daily chatbot use. These findings emerge as generative AI usage surges — 78% of higher education institutions in North America now integrate tools like ChatGPT into their curriculum, while 64% of technology and service companies in the region use AI for staff training and customer support. Researchers emphasize that the risk is not with AI itself, but with usage models lacking pedagogy and cognitive awareness.
