Spring-like porous crystals could enable chemically responsive microscale materials

Crystals are usually imagined as rigid objects with flat faces and straight edges. A research team led by the University of Osaka has recently created a porous crystal that grows into a spring-like helix. The team also found that the crystal can change shape as solvent molecules move in and out of its internal spaces. Their findings are published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition.

Rajinikanth's 'Dharman' director Ashwath Marimuthu drops important update on film; shares BTS video clip from film's sets!

Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 16 (IANS) Director Ashwath Marimuthu, who is now directing Tamil superstar Rajinikanth's next film 'Dharman', on Wednesday shared that he was back with Superstar Rajinikanth for the third schedule of the film. Taking to his X timeline to share a BTS clip of Rajinikanth and Raashi Khanna shooting for the film, director Ashwath Marimuthu wrote, Back with Thalaivar for Dharman 3rd schedule #superstar @RKFI. The video clip he posted showed Rajinikanth, seated with his back facing the camera, having a conversation with Raashi Khanna. It may be recalled that the unit of the film had wrapped up its second schedule of shooting only on September 4 this year. Raaj Kamal Films International, the production house of veteran actor and parliamentarian Kamal Haasan, had taken to its social media timelines to drop the update with a video clip. It had said, Dharman 2nd Schedule Wrapped. Swag Mode: ON. One of the scenes in the video clip released showed Rajinikanth as a senior medical faculty lecturing junior doctors. For the unaware, the unit had begun the second schedule of the film on August 13 this year. The makers, at the time of announcing the commencement of the second schedule, had said, The deadly doctor. #Dharman Schedule 2 Begins, and this one's legendary. #KettaPaiyanSir. #SuperstarRajinikanth #KamalHaasan. The film has triggered huge excitement among fans ever since the makers announced the project. In June this year, the makers had dropped a making video that showed how the team had arrived at Superstar Rajinikanth's look in the film. Taking to his X timeline, director Ashwath Marimuthu shared a brand new poster of Rajinikanth from the film and wrote, We heard you !! Ithan hair styleu (This is the hair style)!! Ithan looku (This is the look)! Sexy work @kabilanchelliah. Earlier, Raaj Kamal Films International, the production house of actor Kamal Haasan which is producing this film, shared a glimpse video and wrote, THE OG SWAG. #Dharman. The Making of the First Look. The video featured a shot of the accessories that were kept for Rajini to choose from.

The video also showed Kamal Haasan accompanying Rajinikanth and the two legends of Tamil cinema exchanging pleasantries. For the unaware, Rajinikanth plays a doctor who takes on criminals in Dharman. Actor, producer and parliamentarian Kamal Haasan, while announcing the title of the film, had said, Dharmame vellum!

Treating Hindus as inferiors is in Cong leadership's blood, alleges Karnataka BJP; calls CM Shivakumar 'puppet'

Digital Desk | Mandya (Karnataka), Sep 16 (IANS) Senior BJP leader and Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly, R. Ashoka, on Wednesday alleged that it was in the blood of Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to treat Hindus as inferior, and accused Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar of functioning as a puppet of the Congress leadership. Addressing reporters in Maddur while participating in a Ganesh immersion procession, Ashoka said the BJP had no expectations from the Chief Minister and demanded action against the police inspector of T. Narasipura town over his alleged controversial remarks concerning a Ganesh procession. It is in the blood of Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to treat Hindus as inferiors. D.K. Shivakumar is a puppet in their hands. We do not have any expectation from this puppet Chief Minister, Ashoka alleged. He said the BJP had given the government one week's time to suspend the T. Narasipura town police Inspector, who, according to Ashoka, had made a controversial statement regarding the Ganesh procession. I have spoken to our party workers in Mysuru and T. Narasipura. We are planning to hold a huge Ganesh immersion procession there as well, like the one we are organising in Maddur, he said. Ashoka also levelled several allegations against the Inspector, alleging that he faced charges of assaulting Dalits with a cricket bat and was allegedly involved in cheating a woman. People are saying that the Inspector is supporting matka and ganja trade in the region. He has given money and is continuing there, while they have taken money and are allowing him to continue, Ashoka further alleged. On criticism of BJP leaders wearing footwear while carrying Ganesh idols during the protest in T. Narasipura town, Ashoka said the BJP was participating in a protest and not conducting worship. Whenever a Ganesh idol is installed, worshipping starts. Ganesh idols are sold on the streets, we take them home and conduct worship. That is when sanctity comes in. We were staging a protest; we were not conducting worship, he said. He also questioned Congress leaders over whether they removed their footwear while receiving mementos containing pictures of Hindu deities at public events. On the dais, while receiving mementos containing pictures of Hindu gods, have they received them by removing their chappals? I am asking Congress people. Let them answer, he said. The remarks came amid a political confrontation between the BJP and Congress in Karnataka over Ganesh processions and the conduct of police personnel. It can be recalled that a stone pelting incident occurred during a Ganesha idol immersion procession in Maddur town, Mandya district, on September 7, 2025, leaving at least eight people injured and triggering local protests and prohibitory orders. Violence broke out when the procession passed near a place of worship in Ram Rahim Nagar, where stones were reportedly hurled at participants, causing chaos and injuries. Law enforcement quickly dispersed the groups, imposed Section 144 prohibitory orders, and took 20 individuals into custody. Police later registered multiple cases regarding the stone pelting and subsequent protests.

'Britain should tackle race and class together'

ARE we going backwards on race in Britain? It is not difficult to see why so many people now fear that we are. This month began with hundreds of men in balaclavas setting up roadblocks at Dover , their leader declaring that it was a warning about how a new patriotic army was ready to take matters into its own hands. An online flashmob went hunting for asylum seekers in a Portsmouth hotel, only to find themselves pursuing Pakistans youth cricket team . It sounds farcical, yet too much focus on the idiocy of mistaken identification could risk unwittingly normalising vigilante mobs with better intelligence. Many people from ethnic minority backgrounds in Britain do believe there was positive change against racism in our lifetimes, but now sense that it is going into reverse. That is the sobering picture reported in a new British Future study, Race and Fairness in Fractious Times , the first output of a major three-year project, supported by the Nuffield Foundation, into public attitudes to race equality. Many do want to hear a more vocal challenge to racist street movements that evoke memories of the 1970s and 1980s by seeking to make a politics of so-called remigration and racism more vocal and visible again today. Almost half of ethnic minority respondents had experienced prejudice based on their race or ethnicity in the last year . This was a more common experience among younger people and partly demonstrates the resurgence of online racism. Andy Burnhams government will need to respond more confidently than it managed to over the last fortnight. Yet that challenge goes deeper than calling out unacceptable conduct. A shared sense that Britain today feels much more divided than anybody would want is combined with contested views about what is driving that division and which voices get heard or go unheard. We also need political leaders able to counter the sense of a zero-sum contest over race equality: the feeling that fairness for ethnic minorities comes at the expense of the white majority, or vice versa. Since ethnic minorities are by definition outnumbered, for several decades at least, they are more likely to lose out if pursuing race equality cannot be located within a broader politics of fair chances for all. There is an increasingly complex pattern of opportunities and outcomes across and within majority and minority groups by generation, gender and geography, social class and education which contrasts with what can often be increasingly binary political debates about race and identity. Take the vote of confidence in Britains integration story from the comparative school test scores last week, where English school scores bucked the west European trend by holding up as scores fell elsewhere. One significant contributor to this was a contrast in the impact of diversity. It has long ceased to be surprising in Britain when the children and grandchildren of immigrants get above-average results here, but they still lag behind in most west European countries. So more ethnic diversity was a boost to the UKs results, especially in England, yet was a drag on the overall scores in France and Germany, Denmark and Sweden. There are new challenges such as when the white working-class feel left behind by visible ethnic minority success. Yet the research finds that ideas about how to tackle race and class together unlock broad public support. The politics of fair chances should bring social class into the equation, and this government is planning to increase its focus on socio-economic disadvantage. The research shows that this can offer a powerful way to reflect the experiences of many people from both ethnic minorities and the majority group. But that bridging opportunity could be lost if class barriers are talked about as a silo, as if these affected the white working-class alone. Across nations and regions, the researchers also often heard people say that their local, lived experience contrasted positively with the darkening climate around the state of the nation. Sometimes, those who lived in cities like London, Cardiff and Glasgow wondered if they were lucky to be in places where familiarity with difference had long become an everyday norm. But others noted how much online debates could now dangerously skew not just peoples attitudes, but their conduct, too. There are realworld impacts if those with the most hostile views believe that racism is back in fashion. The prime minister wants to promote a vision of a Britain that believes in itself again. A crucial test of that is to derail a sense of pessimism about ever-increasing division, before it curdles and corrodes public confidence about whether a shared society is possible. The antidote depends on leaders able to proactively pursue an idea of fairness that does not pick one group over another, but which can resonate across the multiethnic society that Britain has become.

'Previous govt took bribe for each medical license': UP CM Yogi Adityanath

Digital Desk | Gorakhpur, Sep 16 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday accused the previous Samajwadi Party (SP) government of taking bribes for issuing medical licenses in the state. The Chief Minister was in Gorakhpur for the inauguration of the IMA Charitable Blood Centre. Urging citizens to donate blood, Chief Minister Adityanath said: Medical facilities, equipments and medicines can be made to suit modern standards but blood cannot be made. It is a symbol of compassion where a donor saves a life of a recipient. We are witnessing a new Gorakhpur, a new Uttar Pradesh, a New India, which has undergone a massive transformation in healthcare, he asserted while adding that earlier there was only one hospital in eastern Uttar Pradesh where four patients used to share one bed. Today, the BRD Medical College in Gorakhpur is a super speciality hospital which has emerged as the centre of treatment for various diseases, including Encephalitis. Today there is an AIIMS in Gorakhpur. Two medical colleges and four universities are also functional in the district today, CM Adityanath said. The Chief Minister also launched an attack on the previous governments in the state. Without directly naming previous governments, CM Adityanath said: The government (Samajwadi Party) at that time used to demand money for every license. I used to tell them that we would provide all the facilities required, but we would not pay a single rupee as a bribe...When you work hard, God also supports you. Along with blood bank, the functioning of the first ICU of eastern Uttar Pradesh has been started by Guru Shri Gorakshnath Chikitsalaya, he stressed. He claimed that earlier people had to go to Lucknow for medical treatments like dialysis but now it has been made available in Gorakhpur itself. Today, several quality hospitals in Gorakhpur are providing facilities like dialysis. Under a government scheme, 10 beds in each district hospital can avail dialysis facility free of cost, he said. Chief Minister Adityanath said that the number of MBBS seats in the state has increased, what was previously 4,600 is now more than 13,500. Postgraduation seats have doubled. The number of nursing colleges has also increased, and new paramedical courses and institutes are being established to strengthen health services. Work has now begun to take this further by developing centres of excellence. We are setting up a Centre of Excellence for MedTech at IIT Kanpur in collaboration with the institute, with support from the state government. We are also developing a Centre of Excellence at Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI) in Lucknow, he added.

Union Tribal Affairs Ministry ropes in Kerala's KSUM for national ST startup push

Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 16 (IANS) The Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs has launched a national initiative to identify, incubate, mentor and finance startups and enterprises led by Scheduled Tribe (ST) entrepreneurs, with Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) among 10 institutions selected to implement the programme. Union Tribal Affairs Minister Jual Oram said the initiative was aimed at harnessing the potential of tribal youth and creating both job creators and job seekers by expanding outreach and handholding support for ST innovators and entrepreneurs. Tribal Affairs Minister of State Durgadas Uikey said the initiative was part of efforts to promote the growth of tribal communities in areas including education, health, digital infrastructure and artificial intelligence. The Ministry has signed MoUs with 10 agencies, including KSUM, to create an enabling ecosystem for innovation-driven entrepreneurship among tribal communities. The initiative seeks to reach around 1,000 ST entrepreneurs across the country, with at least 100 to be funded and incubated under the Venture Capital Fund for Scheduled Tribes (VCF-ST). The MoU with KSUM will provide ST-led enterprises in Kerala with structured capacity building, mentorship, market linkages and support to become investment-ready. KSUM is the Kerala government's nodal agency for entrepreneurship development and incubation. Under the VCF-ST scheme, companies with at least 51 per cent shareholding by ST entrepreneurs and management control can avail financial assistance of up to Rs 50 lakh if the ownership condition has been maintained for six months. For funding above Rs 50 lakh, the 51 per cent ST shareholding and management control should have been maintained for at least 12 months. The scheme also provides incubation funding of up to Rs 10 lakh a year for three years, subject to satisfactory progress. Applications are currently open. Tribal Affairs Secretary Ranjana Chopra said innovation was not new to tribal communities and that traditional tribal systems contained considerable knowledge and innovation that had often not reached the modern world. A structured strategy was needed to bring such innovation into the mainstream, she said. Bridging the gap between the country's overall startup numbers and ST-led startups and handholding a larger number of tribal entrepreneurs have been identified as key priorities under the initiative. Keralas Special Secretary, Electronics and IT, Seeram Sambasiva Rao said the MoU would contribute to the socio-economic empowerment of ST communities and promote technology-oriented innovative projects by tribal youth. KSUM CEO Anoop Ambika said Kerala's startup ecosystem was conducive to identifying and scaling innovation-driven entrepreneurship among ST communities.
