Scientists have found evidence that parts of Venus's surface move around like pieces of continent on Earth.
And while this activity is probably not driven by plate tectonics, as on Earth, it could be a "cousin" of that process.
The findings fit an emerging picture of a planet very much alive, in contrast to the traditional view of Venus.
Europe is launching a spacecraft, EnVision, to radar-map and gather spectroscopic measurements of the planet's surface and atmosphere.
And Nasa is sending two craft, Veritas and DaVinci+, to Venus, towards the end of this decade.
A team of researchers detected signs blocks of rocky crust in Venus's lowlands region had rotated and moved laterally relative to one another.
The researchers used data gathered by NASA's Magellan spacecraft, launched in 1989 and active until 1994, to map the surface structures, which they have named "campi", from the Latin for "field", "campus".
Airtel and Tata Group Team Up for 'Made in India' 5G Network Solutions
Bharti Airtel and Tata Group announced a strategic partnership for implementing 5G network solutions for India.
The announcement underscores a push for indigenous 5G solutions in India, as the world's second-largest telecom market gears up for fifth-generation mobile networks that would enable connecting virtually everything together including machines, objects, and devices at ultra-high speeds.
Notably, the partnership with Tata Group allows telecom operator Airtel to take head-on, rival Jio's pitch on homegrown 5G solutions. Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio is accelerating the rollout of digital platforms and indigenously-developed next-generation 5G stack.

NASA Sends Squid from Hawaii into Space for Research
Dozens of baby squid from Hawaii are in space for study.
The baby Hawaiian bobtail squid were raised at the University of Hawaii's Kewalo Marine Laboratory and were blasted into space on a SpaceX resupply mission to the International Space Station.
Researcher Jamie Foster, who completed her doctorate at the University of Hawaii, is studying how spaceflight affects the squid in hopes of bolstering human health during long space missions.
Samsung Set to Unleash the Power of 5G
As 5G begins to enrich customer experiences in several countries across industries, South Korean tech giant Samsung is all set to showcase its continued innovations around 5G and what lies ahead on the 6G cellular technology.
The company which has started working on the 6G technology and expects completion of the 6G standard and its earliest commercialisation by as early as 2028, will hold 'Samsung Networks: Redefined' virtual event to unleash the full power of 5G.

Senate Confirms Pam Melroy as NASA Deputy Administrator
The U.S. Senate confirmed former astronaut Pam Melroy as NASA deputy administrator, about six weeks after doing the same for space agency chief Bill Nelson.
Melroy's confirmation was never really in doubt. She received broad bipartisan support during her Senate confirmation hearing last month, and her resume is extremely strong.
Melroy served in the U.S. Air Force before joining NASA. She flew three space shuttle missions, piloting STS-92 in 2000 and STS-112 in 2002 and commanding STS-120 in 2007. She is one of only two women, along with NASA astronaut Eileen Collins, to command a shuttle mission.
After retiring from NASA in 2009, she took several high-profile jobs in the aerospace and defense sectors. She worked at Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), for example, and served as deputy director of the Tactical Technology Office at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
NASA was established in 1958, succeeding the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA).
Since its establishment, most US space exploration efforts have been led by NASA, including the Apollo Moon landing missions, the Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle.
The first administrator was Dr. T. Keith Glennan, appointed by Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
