Chemical physicists quantitatively model electron interactions in real quantum materials

A team of scientists from Caltech and Yale University has shown for the first time how to accurately quantify an important quantum phenomenon in metals, called the Kondo effect, for specific real materials. Unlike previous approaches, which for decades have relied on simplified models to qualitatively describe the effect, the new work uses the actual atomic and electronic structures of materials to solve the problem directly.

Govt to sell onions at Rs 35/kg in Delhi; 1st 'Kanda Express' with 800 tn supply to reach on Wednesday

New Delhi, Aug 25: The government will sell onions at a subsidised rate of Rs 35 per kg in the national capital, a discount of around 36 per cent from the prevailing average retail price, with the help of 800 tonnes of fresh vegetable supplies reaching here on Wednesday through the first 'Kanda Express'. Consumer Affairs Secretary Nidhi Khare on Tuesday said that onions will be retailed via Nafed, NCCF and Kendriya Bhandar stores in the national capital. Bulk onions are also being transported through dedicated railway rakes to four other centres -- Chennai, Ernakulam, Madurai and Guwahati, she said on a social media paltform. The onion being transported to these consuming centres is a buffer stock maintained at Nasik, Maharashtra. The stock is being released to check price rise. The all-India average retail price of onion has jumped more than 28 per cent in a month to Rs 44.72/kg on August 25, up from Rs 34.80 per kg on July 25. A year ago, the price was Rs 28.67 per kg on the same day, reflecting a sharp 56 per cent increase. Among major cities, retail onion prices on Tuesday stood at Rs 60 per kg in Chennai (Rs 35 per kg a year ago), Rs 55 per kg in Delhi (Rs 33), Rs 60 per kg in Kolkata (Rs 32/kg), Rs 48 per kg in Mumbai (Rs 32 per kg) and Rs 38 per kg in Ranchi (Rs 25 per kg). Data maintained by the ministry shows that the average wholesale price was up 63 per cent at Rs 36.73 per kg on August 25, against Rs 22.54 per kg in the year-ago period. In a month, the wholesale prices have risen by 33.5 per cent. The Kanda Express initiative, aimed at enhancing logistical efficiency for large-scale onion movement, was launched in 2024-25 and has since been scaled up considerably. In 2024-25, 14 railway rakes carrying nearly 12,000 tonnes of onion buffer stock were dispatched to five cities. In 2025-26, this has expanded to 86 rakes carrying about 88,000 tonnes of onions to 16 major cities across the country. The onion buffer stock is the Centre's strategic reserve, built up primarily to cushion the market against price spikes when supplies tighten. The government maintains onion stocks in different producing states as part of the Price Stabilisation Fund scheme. About 1.21 lakh tonnes of onion buffer has been maintained for 2026. According to the government, onion availability remains comfortable to meet domestic demand over the coming months, supported by estimated 2025-26 production of 307.37 lakh tonnes, 'broadly on a par with 307.67 lakh tonnes in the previous year. Onion prices typically see a seasonal uptick from August-September due to festive demand, weather-related disruptions, supply chain movements, and shifting demand patterns.

Rather, its most pressing concern is dehydration. Its skin is paper-thin; water can evaporate from its body into the dry air more quickly than it can replenish it. Fortunately, evolution has given it an adaptation: thin, nanoscopic hairs, called setulae, that cover its body and trap moisture.

Pakistans Op Sindoor Narrative Gets An Iran Twist, Ishaq Dars 'Support' Claim Contradicts Tehran

Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar just made a claim that doesn't add up. He told Pakistan's National Assembly that Iran gave Pakistan strong support during Operation Sindoor in May 2025 but offered zero details of what that support actually involved. Compare that to what really happened: Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi flew to Islamabad and then Delhi, urging restraint from both sides and denouncing terrorism, not picking a side. This isn't Pakistan's first rewrite of the record Dar previously admitted India struck two Pakistani airbases after initially denying it. Now, this Iran claim surfaces exactly as Tehran is reportedly being courted to join the Saudi-Turkey-Pakistan Mecca Pact, dubbed the Islamic NATO. This video fact-checks Dar's claim against Iran's actual documented actions, exposes Pakistan's pattern of post-crisis narrative building, and explains why India should watch actions, not claims made a year later.

Beijing has not formally confirmed the trip. The timing is striking. Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked BRICS and used tariffs and sanctions as foreign-policy leverage.

Quote of the day by Blake Lively, 'If you ever want something badly, let it go. If it comes back to you, then it's yours forever.

Quote of the day by Blake Lively offers a powerful lesson about trust, acceptance, and emotional freedom. Letting go can feel frightening because it asks us to step into uncertainty, but uncertainty can also create possibility. When we release the need to force people, relationships, opportunities, or outcomes into our preferred shape, we give life room to unfold naturally. What genuinely belongs in our lives may find its way back, while what leaves can create space for something more appropriate. The process may involve disappointment, patience, and self-reflection, but it can also bring clarity. Sometimes the greatest act of faith is not holding tighterit is having the courage to open our hands, accept what is, and trust that what is truly meant for us will not require us to lose ourselves to keep it.
