Trees use a

A research team from INRAE and the University Clermont Auvergne has shown that trees are capable of correcting a curvature they detect in their stems through a specific biological process. In the study, young trees with bent stems were placed in an experimental set-up that prevented them from sensing their orientation relative to light and gravity. The only sense remaining to the trees was the perception of their own curvature. Under these conditions, the scientists observed the formation of a particular type of wood, known as tension wood, which acts like a muscle to correct the curvature of the stem, allowing it to realign within a few weeks.

Making superconductors thinner can change how they accommodate magnetic fields

What happens when a superconductor becomes so thin that electrons can no longer behave as if they were moving through an ordinary three-dimensional piece of metal? This question has been at the center of my recent work on quantum confinement in metallic films. Over the past few years, I have been developing this line of theory with my colleague Giovanni Ummarino at Politecnico di Torino. Our initial goal was to understand something rather concrete: Why does shrinking the thickness of a superconducting film change the temperature at which superconductivity appears?

Japanese credit rating agency upgrades Indias sovereign rating to 'A-'; Finance ministry welcomes move

New Delhi, Sep 2: The Government of India welcomed the decision of Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCR) to upgrade Indias Long-Term Foreign Currency and Local Currency Issuer Ratings by one notch from BBB+ to A-, while maintaining the Stable Outlook. JCR has also raised Indias country ceiling by one notch to A. The upgrade reflects Indias solid economic growth, the effectiveness of economic policies in strengthening the foundations for growth, and the improved soundness of the financial system. JCR noted that the Indian economy has maintained a high growth rate, supported by robust private consumption and public investment. The latest GDP estimates released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) indicate that real GDP growth remained strong at 7.8 per cent in FY26. The growth momentum was sustained in Q1 of FY27, with real GDP growing by 7.8 per cent, despite prevailing global headwinds. The agency also highlighted the Governments continued implementation of policies conducive to productivity growth and economic development, including the development of digital public infrastructure and implementation of the Goods and Services Tax, which have strengthened Indias economic foundations. The agency also recognised the improvement in the quality of fiscal expenditure, with greater emphasis on capital expenditure, particularly infrastructure investment. JCR noted that the Central Governments fiscal deficit declined from 4.7% in FY25 to 4.4% in FY26, while capital expenditure remained high. JCR also highlighted the significant improvement in the overall soundness of Indias financial system. The asset quality of the banking sector has strengthened, supported by the establishment of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, capital infusion by the Government and strengthened supervision by the RBI. Capital adequacy and profitability in the banking sector have remained sound. The asset quality and capital adequacy of the non-banking financial sector have also improved, further strengthening the financial system. On the external sector, the agency noted that Indias current account deficit remains contained, supported by a surplus in the services balance. Ample foreign exchange reserves, significantly exceeding short-term external debt, provide strong resilience against external shocks. The upgrade comes against the backdrop of a challenging global environment and underscores the continued strengthening of Indias economic fundamentals, supported by sustained growth, effective economic policies, improved fiscal quality and a stronger financial system. It is worth noting that India had previously received sovereign rating upgrades from major international rating agencies over the past year. Morningstar DBRS upgraded Indias sovereign rating in May 2025, followed by S&P Global Ratings in August 2025 and Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I), Japan, in September 2025.
