Canadian courts take police misconduct seriously, but researchers say sentencing alone can
A study published in Police Quarterly explores how Canadian courts respond when police officers break the law. The research, co-led by Brock University Assistant Professor of Political Science Danielle McNabb and University of Guelph Associate Professor of Political Science Kate Puddister, presents the first large-scale empirical analysis of how Canadian courts sentence police officers convicted of breaching the public

Laser shocks turn plastic into ultra-small, high-purity nanodiamonds
Nanodiamonds are tiny diamond particles that usually measure mere millionths of a millimeter. They are extremely hard, stable and heat-resistant and highly adaptable for various purposes in medicine, new materials, catalysis and energy technology. By compressing plastic with lasers, researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and the University of Rostock are now able to systematically produce high-purity, ultra-small diamonds with a narrow size distribution. This is impossible to achieve with conventional methods such as explosions. As a scalable technology, laser compression offers great potential for improved, clean and sustainable production of ultra-small nanodiamonds.

Decoding the DNA switches behind gene regulation
Understanding gene regulation may be key to interpreting human disease genetics. Genes are regulated in part by stretches of DNA called enhancers, which define when, where and how strongly each gene is turned on. Mapping enhancers and how they function in specific cell types is necessary for understanding gene regulation and disease-related genetic variants. But the location and activity of enhancers are highly cell type-specific, making it difficult to accurately predict enhancer

New benchmark puts quantum computers to the test and reveals their limitations
Quantum computers are no longer theoretical concepts.

What ancient Mars rocks reveal about its buried carbonate stores
Carbonate minerals are among the best records of past liquid water on Mars: They form when water carrying dissolved carbon dioxide reacts with rock, and their composition reflects the chemistry of both. Yet Mars has surprisingly little carbonate on its surface compared with what climate models predict, given that the planet likely had a (at least transiently) thick, CO2-rich atmosphere more than 3 billion years ago.

Child passport to be valid for 5 years as new MEA rules kicks in
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 17 (IANS) Ordinary Indian passports issued to children below 15 years of age will now be valid for five years or until the child turns 18, whichever is earlier, under the new rules notified by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). The Passports (Amendment) Rules, 2026, published in the Gazette of India on September 17, amend the Passports Rules, 1980. Under the amended Rule 12(1A), a 36-page ordinary passport issued to a child under 15 will remain in force for a period of five years from the date of issue, or until the child attains the age of 18, whichever comes first. The notification, dated September 15, also revised Rule 8 governing passport application fees, stating that the fee payable for each category of application will be as specified in Schedule IV of the rules. The amended rules come into force from the date of their publication in the Official Gazette. The Ministry of External Affairs had raised charges for passport-related services with effect from July 1. The increased fee structure is applicable for fresh passport applications, renewals, Tatkaal services, replacement of lost or damaged passports, police clearance certificates (PCC), and other passport-linked services. A 10 per cent discount on fresh passport applications continues for children below eight years of age and senior citizens above 60 years. However, the discount will not apply to passport reissue applications. In the case of adults, the charges on a normal application for a fresh 36-page passport or renewal have been raised from the existing fee of Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,500. For a 60-page passport (adult, normal), the fee has been increased from Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,500. For a 36-page adult passport under the Tatkaal scheme, the fee has been raised from Rs 3,500 to Rs 5,000, while for a 60-page passport in the category, the fee has gone up from Rs 4,000 to Rs 6,000. For a 60-page adult passport replacement in the Tatkaal category, the fee has been raised from Rs 5,500 to Rs 8,500. Passport services for children below 18 years have also become costlier. In the case of a 36-page fresh or reissue passport for minors (normal), the fee has been raised from Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,750. In the case of a 36-page fresh or reissue passport for minors in the Tatkaal category, the fee has been increased from Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,250.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the move unfriendly and said additional pressure could complicate peace negotiations.
El Nio Spells Trouble For India? Why Indian Ocean Matters For Monsoon
El Nio is here, and for India, that could mean a greater risk of a weaker monsoon, lower rainfall, heat and drought. But the Pacific Ocean may not have the final say over Indias rains.In this video, we explain how El Nio develops, why it can disrupt Indias southwest monsoon, and how the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) could influence the situation. We break down what happens during a positive IOD, how warmer waters in the western Indian Ocean can alter atmospheric circulation and moisture flows, and why this phenomenon can sometimes counter some of El Nios effects.We also look at the 1997 El Nio, when a strong positive IOD coincided with near-normal monsoon rainfall in India, offering an important example of how the two climate systems can interact.So, could the Indian Ocean once again take some of the bite out of El Nio? Watch the video to understand the ocean battle that could shape Indias monsoon.#ElNino #IndianOceanDipole #IOD #IndianMonsoon #Monsoon2026 #IndiaWeather #SouthwestMonsoon #Monsoon #ClimateChange #ClimateScience #WeatherExplained #ElNinoIndia #IODIndia #IndianOcean #PacificOcean

Tia Bajpai and Arian Romal take the new music video of FANAA into darker unexplored horror territory
Tia Bajpai is returning to the horror genre with FANAA, a new music video featuring music by Arian Romal. Described by its makers as Indias first-ever horror music video, the project combines an atmospheric visual treatment with a narrative that draws from the horror genre. Known for her association with horror, Tia Bajpai takes on an intense and mysterious avatar in FANAA. Instead of following the conventional format of a performance-led music video, the project incorporates elements of a short-form horror narrative, with the visuals building suspense around the character and the story. Speaking about her experience of shooting the project, Tia Bajpai said, Shooting FANAA was a completely different experience for me because we were trying to create something that feels like more than just a music video. The atmosphere, the visuals and the emotions of the character required me to completely immerse myself in that world. There were moments on set that were genuinely intense, but that is also what made the experience exciting and memorable. I think audiences will connect with FANAA because beneath the horror and suspense, there is a strong emotional layer to the story. It keeps you curious, makes you feel something and hopefully stays with you even after the video ends. Arian Romals music forms an integral part of the video, creating a contrast between the soulful quality of the song and the unsettling visual world. The track brings together melody, suspense and horror while using the music-video format to tell a story. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tia Bajpai (@tiabajpai) The makers have also built an element of anticipation around the viewing experience, encouraging audiences to watch FANAA till the end. The promotional messaging around the video includes a keep the lights on warning, hinting at the disturbing moments and twists incorporated into the narrative. FANAA also reflects the growing experimentation within the Indian music-video space, with artistes and creators exploring formats that extend beyond conventional romantic tracks and performance-based videos. By combining music with a horror storyline, the project attempts to give the format a more cinematic treatment. With Tia Bajpai at the centre of its visual narrative and Arian Romal providing the music, FANAA brings together two distinct elements horror and music within a single project. The video is designed to unfold progressively, keeping the narrative and its darker elements at the centre of the viewing experience.
