The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics recognised Francis Halzen for his role in developing the IceCube Observatory, a groundbreaking neutrino detector buried deep beneath the Antarctic ice.

This editorial looks at the science behind IceCube, why the observatory transformed astronomy, and why the Nobel Prize continues to face questions about how it recognises large-scale scientific collaboration in the era of Big Science.

Loans worth Rs 14.71 Cr provided to artisans, weavers in Q1 & Q2 of CFY
Srinagar, Oct 08: Artisans and weavers across Kashmir are receiving a fresh boost of working capital, with the Handicrafts and Handloom Department extending loans worth 14.71 crore under its flagship Credit Card Scheme in the first two quarters of the current financial year. Of the 3,885 applications sponsored to banks, 1,332 have been sanctioned and 1,054 disbursed by the end of September 2026. Sharing details in a press release issued here today, spokesman of the Department stated that the department is working with lead banks and other financial institutions to widen access to this facility. The funds are meant to help craftspeople set up independent units and buy raw material and tools in a sector that remains heavily labour-intensive, he said. The spokesman further stated that the beneficiaries also receive interest subvention of 7% on a tapering basis for five years, designed to help new units become self-sustaining. Since the credit limit was raised from 1 lakh to 2 lakh in 2020, in line with the Wool Processing, Handloom and Handicrafts Policy, more than 10,000 craftsmen have taken loans totalling 151 crore, he said. Over the same period, the department has provided interest subvention of 19 crore to support these unit-holders, he added. The scheme is aimed at reducing dependence on informal credit and giving traditional crafts a more stable financial footing. By easing access to formal loans for tools, raw material and small production units, the department hopes to help artisans and weavers expand output, retain younger craftspeople in the trade and strengthen Kashmirs handloom and handicraft economy. Artisans and weavers can apply online at singlewindow.jk.gov.in to avail the benefits of the scheme. Common Service Centres set up across districts are available to help with registration. The spokesman urged the financial institutions and lead banks to treat the craft sector as under priority lending and extend timely, hassle-free credit so that small unit-holders can build a stronger and more self-reliant base.

Real toll is far higher: Iranian FM Araghchi cites US report listing 81 aircraft losses
Tehran , October 8 : Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has cited a US Congressional Research Service (CRS) report listing 81 US military aircraft reportedly lost or damaged during operations against Iran, saying the real toll is far higher. In a post on X on Thursday, Araghchi said, In May, the Congressional Research Service admitted that Irans Armed Forces had taken out 42 U.S. military aircraft. Now: 81. Real toll is far higher, he added. Araghchi questioned the US militarys assessment of the losses, saying, Proof? CENTCOM wont let a sitting Senator inspect bases it claims are fine. You can fool all the people some of the time... he added. The CRS report, titled U.S. Aircraft Combat Losses in Operation Epic Fury: Considerations for Congress and updated on October 5, lists 81 fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft, including uncrewed aircraft systems, that were reportedly lost or damaged in US operations against Iran since February 28. According to the report, the list was compiled from news reports, statements by the US Department of Defense and US Central Command (CENTCOM), and the Department of Defense Inspector General. The CRS said the number of aircraft may remain subject to revision due to multiple factors, including classification, ongoing combat activity and attribution. It also noted that some damaged aircraft may have been returned to active service. The report lists 12 F-15E Strike Eagle fighter aircraft, one F-35A Lightning II fighter aircraft, two A-10 Thunderbolt II ground-attack aircraft, seven KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refuelling aircraft, one E-3 Sentry airborne early warning-and-control aircraft, two MC-130J Commando II special operations aircraft and one HH-60W Jolly Green II combat search-and-rescue helicopter. It also lists one MQ-4C Triton, three MQ-1 multi-role uncrewed aircraft, 45 MQ-9 Reaper multi-role uncrewed aircraft, one AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, four AH-6 Little Bird light attack helicopters and one MH-60 Sea Hawk maritime helicopter. The CRS report said the US Department of Defense on September 14 published a Lead Inspector General report assessing certain equipment losses relating to operations against Iran between April 1 and June 30. It said the reported incidents could raise several considerations for Congress, including whether lawmakers have sufficient information to assess aircraft losses and replacement plans, the budgetary impact of replacing or repairing aircraft, force sufficiency, industrial base capacity and operational risks. The report also noted that in September, the Congressional Budget Office estimated the cost of equipment losses as of August 1 at between USD 1.9 billion and USD 3.3 billion, depending on Department of Defense plans for replacements. Meanwhile, according to Axios, citing US officials, US President Donald Trump has not made a final decision on resuming major combat operations against Iran, but the Pentagon has been instructed to prepare for possible fresh strikes. According to the report, the Pentagon instructed US Central Command (US CENTCOM) several days ago to conclude preparations for resuming major combat operations in Iran. The directive did not set a specific date for launching strikes. US and Israeli officials told Axios that renewed combat operations could take place before the US midterm elections, scheduled to be held on November 3, and possibly ahead of Israeli elections, which are expected a week earlier.
