Optical skyrmions can control the motion of magnetic skyrmions
Magnetic skyrmions (MSks) are swirling patterns of magnetization that form inside certain magnetic materials. They can behave like actual particles in many ways, exhibiting a stable internal structure and distinct boundaries. Because they are extremely small and can be pushed around with relatively little energy, MSks are regarded as promising information carriers in emerging technologies, including low-power memories and logic circuits. However, a major goal in the field has been to find practical ways to control their motion with high precision.

Quantum physicists trace a century of controlling spin
A concept from the field of quantum mechanics, spin is a property of particles that has no direct counterpart in everyday experience. Since the early 20th century, researchers have learned to manipulate it deliberately by means of precisely shaped electromagnetic pulses. This has resulted in two technologies that are widespread today: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonplace in hospitals, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is used to determine the structures of proteins and to develop new drugs. The mathematical framework of optimal control theory can be used to improve these technologies.

China's Ships In Indian Backyard: What Bangladeshs $335-Mn Mongla Port Deal Means For Delhi
Bangladesh has signed a $335 million loan agreement with China to expand and modernise Mongla Port, located roughly 80 kilometres from Indias border. The project will fund two container terminals, cargo yards and modern port machinery. On paper, this is an infrastructure deal. But the timing and location make it strategically important for New Delhi. The port is close to Indias eastern frontier and has been used by Indian cargo since 2018. The deal also comes after Bangladesh cancelled an India-backed economic-zone project on adjoining land and handed the site to a Chinese company. There is no Chinese military base at Mongla. China has not been given the right to operate the port. But strategic influence does not always arrive in uniform. It comes through loans, contracts, supply chains and long-term dependency. With Chinese defence and infrastructure ties deepening across Bangladesh, India faces a clear warning on its eastern flank. Shreya Chandra has more
