Earth Science: New seismic work suggests the Indian Plate is splitting beneath the Himalayas, with the lower layer peeling away—potentially reshaping how South Asia’s earthquakes are understood. Geohazards: Southern California’s San Andreas and San Jacinto faults show tectonic stress at its highest in about 1,000 years, raising concern that a major quake could be overdue. Space-to-Health Tech: Researchers say deep-space medical lessons could translate into portable care and robotic support for remote, under-resourced communities. Industrial AI: LTTS and Databricks are partnering to scale Industrial AI for asset-heavy industries, targeting reliability, emissions, and operational efficiency. Auto Tech (India): India removed spectrum licensing for key automotive radar and connected-car bands, aiming to speed adoption of advanced safety and self-driving systems. Public Health/Policy: Michigan arson convictions are being overturned as courts scrutinize “junk science” methods used to infer accelerants. Cybercrime: A new system called PhishLumos aims to detect and disrupt phishing campaigns by looking at campaign infrastructure, not just single links. Energy Cooperation: Oil India and Canada’s PTRC signed a framework to collaborate on carbon capture, geothermal, and other clean-energy technologies.
