Indian Scientists Revolutionise Supercapacitor Tech with Lanthanum Doping
Indian researchers from Bengaluru and Aligarh Muslim University designed a novel material that significantly enhances the performance of supercapacitors—devices vital for clean energy applications. The team's innovation, a lanthanum-doped silver niobate (AgNbO₃), has demonstrated exceptional energy retention and near-perfect efficiency, positioning it as a potential game-changer for the future of energy storage.
This breakthrough is timely as the global demand for efficient, fast-charging, and environmentally sustainable energy storage systems continues to rise.

IIT Hyderabad, ISRO, India Post Create Digipin, a Digital Address System for India
Aiming to clean up India's chaotic address system, IIT Hyderabad, India Post, and ISRO's National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) teamed up to launch DIGIPIN -- a new digital address system designed to simplify how locations are identified across the country, from city apartments to remote villages and even offshore sites.
Unlike traditional codes that only point to a general area, DIGIPIN gives a precise digital address that can be accessed using a smartphone with GPS and a high-resolution map app. It works offline, doesn't collect personal data, and is built to handle everything from home deliveries to emergency services and government schemes.
SatSure & Dhruva Space to Offer End-to-End Earth Observation Solutions
Bengaluru-based earth observation (EO) start-up SatSure signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Hyderabad-headquartered Dhruva Space to jointly offer earth observation-as-a-service (EOaaS) solutions. The two will indigenously develop space-based solutions catering to commercial stakeholders.
The partnership will integrate SatSure's downstream capabilities through its subsidiary KaleidEO, which builds EO payloads and analytics platforms. Dhruva will provide upstream expertise in small satellite platforms, launch integration, and ground station infrastructure.
