DoT's NCCS Designates one More Telecom Security Testing Laboratory for Security Testing of IP Rou...

In a boost to the country's telecom security testing ecosystem, the National Centre for Communication Security (NCCS) under Department of Telecommunications, has designated M/s Compliance International Pvt. Ltd., Noida, Uttar Pradesh, as a Telecom Security Testing Laboratory (TSTL) for testing IP Routers under the Communication Security Certification (ComSec) Scheme.
With this addition, the number of designated TSTLs in India has increased to nine, these TSTLs are spread across Karnataka, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra. These laboratories provide pan-India access, enabling faster and more cost-effective compliance testing for OEMs, importers, and service providers, closer to their business hubs.

IISc and Delta Electronics India Develops Fast Charging Solutions for EVs

Researchers in the Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru and Delta Electronics India developed a new fast charging solution for Electric Vehicles (EVs).
This novel cascaded H-bridge (CHB)-based multi-port DC converter directly connects to the medium-voltage AC (MVAC) electricity grid.
Besides, it eliminates the need for large and expensive line frequency transformers (LFTs), which conventional charging stations rely on.
These stations (conventional) also have multiple conversion stages involving stepping up or down current, or converting AC to DC, and vice versa.
This can greatly increase cost and reduce efficiency, according to IISc.

Scientists Creates World's 1st Functioning AI-Designed Viral Genome

Artificial intelligence is making rapid strides in computational biology.
In 2025, researchers at Stanford and the Arc Institute created the world's first entirely AI-generated genome.
In what can be called a breakthrough, the new virus created by AI can infect and kill bacteria.
Scientists already used AI to design individual proteins and even small multi-gene systems. However, creating an entire genome is way more complex.
In simple words, a genome must have many interacting genes, and regulatory switches that allow an organism to grow, copy itself, and survive.
For scientists, until now, getting all of these to work together was a huge challenge.

Kolkata Hosts Pioneering Quantum Science Conference ICEQSM 2025

Kolkata played hosts to the International Conference and Exposium on Quantum Sensing and Metrology (ICEQSM) 2025, a landmark event that brought together a global community of scientists, technologists, entrepreneurs, and students.
Held at the Bose Institute Auditorium and organised by CQuERE, TCG CREST, the four-day conference celebrated the United Nations' International Year of Quantum Science and Technology and aligned with India's National Quantum Mission launched in 2024.
ICEQSM 2025 served as a dynamic platform for bridging the gap between cutting-edge quantum science and its practical applications.
The event featured sessions on atom-based, solid-state, and light-based quantum sensors, alongside discussions on the theoretical underpinnings of quantum metrology. Industry-academia panels, technology showcases, and roundtable discussions facilitated innovation and technology transfer, fostering collaboration between researchers and industry stakeholders.
