Indian Students Defy Crackdown, Continue 'Cockroach Movement' Protests in New Delhi

Students in New Delhi have entered a third day of protests, demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi sack his education minister. The youth-led "Cockroach movement" remains defiant despite a heavy-handed police crackdown on Monday. The minister has stated the government remains committed to reform, but protesters insist he is incompetent and must go.

Should India's education minister resign over the student protests?

New materials could cool buildings without air conditioning

Scientists are developing advanced materials that can keep buildings cool as temperatures rise, offering a potential alternative to conventional air conditioning. The research, published on 22 July 2026 in Nature, highlights breakthroughs in materials science that enable passive cooling without electricity.

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is 2026's best fighter despite weak single-player

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, developed by Gameplay Group International, has been acclaimed as the best fighting game of 2026. The title is fast, fluid and packed with nuanced combat systems that reward skilled play and deep knowledge of the Avatar universe. Its main weakness is a lacklustre single-player offering that lets down an otherwise impressive package.

Do weak single-player modes disqualify a fighting game from being truly great?

Earbuds using electrical brain stimulation promise better sleep and less stress

A new pair of hybrid earbuds uses transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) technology instead of soothing music to non-invasively support brain function during sleep and stress. The device monitors the user's physiological parameters and adjusts electrical stimuli accordingly. Makers claim the technology can help people suffering from insomnia and chronic stress, going beyond conventional sleep-sound solutions.

Are brain-stimulating earbuds a safe solution for insomnia and stress?

Stephen Wolfram: the universe isn't random — it's driven by computational evolution

Physicist and Wolfram Alpha creator Stephen Wolfram argues that the universe's complexity emerges from simple computational rules, much like biological complexity arises from evolution. He proposes that nature is neither random nor engineered, but governed by a principle he calls "computational irreducibility." The same rule that shapes living tissue and organisms is, he claims, a fundamental property of computation itself.

Greece Blocks EU's 21st Russia Sanctions Package Over LNG Transport

EU member state ambassadors meeting in Brussels failed on Wednesday to break the deadlock over the 21st sanctions package against Russia. Greece is blocking the agreement, pushing for the removal of restrictions on Russian LNG transport. The standoff means Russia continues to earn billions of dollars from LNG exports that remain outside existing sanctions.

Should Greece be allowed to block EU sanctions to protect its own energy interests?

Zelensky Sacks Gen. Syrskyi, Appoints Drapatyi as New Ukrainian Army Chief

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has replaced Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi with Gen. Mykhailo Drapatyi as commander of the Ukrainian armed forces, following protests triggered by the dismissal of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. Commentators are divided: some see the move as a response to public pressure and a step toward military reform, while others defend Syrskyi's wartime record or criticise Zelensky's leadership style. Some analysts have described the decision as bearing "all the hallmarks of weakness."

Will sacking Gen. Syrskyi strengthen the Ukrainian armed forces?

Leak Reveals Cancelled ASUS ROG Phone 10 Specs: Snapdragon 8 Elite and Triple Camera

A firmware leak from a prototype, seen exclusively by NotebookCheck, has revealed that the cancelled ASUS ROG Phone 10 and 10 Pro were set to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and a triple rear camera setup. ASUS halted its smartphone business earlier this year to pivot toward AI-based hardware, including commercial PCs and smart glasses. The ROG Phone 10 series was in active development but was shelved as a result of that decision.

Was ASUS right to abandon smartphones in favour of AI hardware?

New Manhattan Restaurant Somssi Bets on Analog Atmosphere Over AI

A new Manhattan restaurant called Somssi has opened with a deliberately analog, tech-free identity. Its Instagram announcement stood out for featuring handmade lace against a powder-blue car — a pointed contrast to AI-driven digital aesthetics. The venue reflects a growing appetite for sensory, human-centred dining experiences.

Rezvani is known for producing highly specialised, extreme vehicles aimed at a niche but enthusiastic clientele.
