What's happening between Armenia and Azerbaijan?
Fresh clashes erupted on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border recently, threatening to push the countries back to war 26 years after a ceasefire was reached. Dozens have been killed so far.
The conflict between the two former Soviet republics has wider geopolitical implications as Turkey, which shares a border with Armenia, is backing Azerbaijan, while Russia, which has good ties with both countries, has called for a ceasefire.

Can mosquitoes taste human blood?
Researchers at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in the U.S. recently found that female mosquitoes are able to sense the taste of human blood. The female mosquitoes sense the distinctive flavour of the human blood through their individual neurons. The sense of taste is specially tuned to detect a combination of at least four different substances in the blood.

How vaccines create immunity
UNICEF said it will stockpile 520 million syringes in its warehouses, as part of a larger plan of one billion hypodermic needles by 2021, to guarantee initial supply and help ensure that syringes are available in countries before the COVID-19 vaccines arrive.
As the world awaits a COVID-19 vaccine, UNICEF has begun laying the groundwork for the rapid, safe and efficient delivery of the eventual vaccine by purchasing and pre-positioning syringes and other necessary equipment, the UN agency said on Monday.

A robot plant buggy that scans crops and collects data
Google's parent company Alphabet has developed a robotic plant buggy. It can roll through the fields and scan crops.
It collects data and high-quality images of each plant. The robotics, sensing and software tools collect and interpret diverse data from the field. The team combines these images with other data sets like satellite imagery, weather data, and soil information. This helps growers to get a clear picture of the happenings in the field.

Why are Thai students protesting?
Thailandâs government, led by the Army chief-turned Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-Ocha, declared a state of emergency on Thursday, banning public gatherings and censoring the media, to tackle the growing studentsâ protests. The protesters have dismissed the emergency decree as yet another attempt by the government to take away their rights and vowed to continue the agitation, deepening the crisis that has shaken the countryâs political and royal establishments.

How insects are being used as drones for sensors
A new light-weight sensor system has been developed by researchers at the University of Washington. It weighs only around 98 milligrams.
It can be carried by insects like moths to destinations that are dangerous or too small for humans to reach. Once it reaches the destination, researchers can send a Bluetooth command to drop the sensor from its perch.
After landing, the sensor can collect data like temperature or humidity, for around three years.

A âč10 meal in Chennai inspired by Ramu Thatha
Mukesh Khubchandani, a Chennai businessman, has replicated the budget canteen that was run by S. Ramu, fondly called Ramu Thatha, in Madurai, and is selling meals for âč10.
Ramu Thatha, who passed away a few months ago, ran the budget hotel along with his wife R. Pooranathammal near the Anna bus stand in the temple city. âThe day I read about the death of Maduraiâs Ramu Thatha (meaning grandfather), who served meals for âč10, I was impressed by his life journey. That is when I thought when a poor man can do this for several decades, why not me,â said Mr. Khubchandani, who is also president of the All India Electronics Association, Chennai.

Inside Japan's massive underground reservoir for flood control
This is Japan's underground "Parthenon". A cavernous complex for protecting Tokyo and surrounding areas from catastrophic flooding. It was built in 2006 at a cost of 230 billion yen ($2.2 billion). This immense structure funnels away & redirects excess water from storm & typhoons to the Kasukabe flood tank. This is the largest facility of its kind in the world.

The quantity of the tiny pollutants was 25 times greater than previous localised studies had shown, the agency said, calling it the first global estimate of sea-floor microplastics.

Impact of âghostâ fishing gears on ocean wildlife
Every year, a large number of marine creatures are killed as a result of ingesting plastic. A major cause of this is due to lost or discarded plastic fishing gear in the ocean. Known as âghost gearâ, these include fishing nets, pots, traps, fishing lines, hooks and ropes. These objects can trap large marine wildlife, causing them slow, painful deaths.

Fearful residents of Kabgir Nagar near Al Jubail Colony moved to higher grounds once again on Saturday evening following a 45-minute spell of heavy rainfall in the area. âWater and muck is still there on the streets. We are afraid that the water level will rise again. Thatâs why we moved older people and children to the nearby government school and to the homes of our relatives,â said Muhammad Iqbal, a resident of the area.
Kabgir Nagar was one of the worst affected areas in the October 15 flooding when the water from the sewage channel overflowed and marooned the colony.

Every year, a large number of marine creatures are killed as a result of ingesting plastic. A major cause of this is due to lost or discarded plastic fishing gear in the ocean. Known as âghost gearâ, these include fishing nets, pots, traps, fishing lines, hooks and ropes. These objects can trap large marine wildlife, causing them slow, painful deaths.
