The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has directed states and Union Territories to step up action against the use of illegal chemicals for ripening fruits. The move comes amid concerns over the continued use of harmful substances like calcium carbide in markets.  Ban on calcium carbide reiterated In a post on X, FSSAI reiterated that the use of calcium carbide, commonly known as “masala”, is strictly banned for ripening fruits such as mangoes, bananas, and papayas.

Chinese AI System Cracks Long-Standing Math Problem in 80 Hours

Chinese AI System Cracks Long-Standing Math Problem in 80 Hours

3 min readNew DelhiApr 15, 2026 06:10 PM IST A Chinese research team has reportedly used artificial intelligence to crack a long-standing mathematical problem first proposed by an American scholar more than a decade ago. The conjecture, introduced in 2014 by University of Iowa professor Dan Anderson, who passed away in 2022, had remained unresolved until now. As reported by the South China Morning Post, the team from Peking University detailed its breakthrough in a preprint posted to arXiv on April 4. Their AI-driven framework not only solved Anderson’s conjecture in commutative algebra but also produced a fully formalised proof on its own. At the core of the system is a reasoning engine called Rethlas, which works alongside a mathematical search tool named Matlas. Together, they mimic how human mathematicians approach complex problems—testing ideas, refining strategies, and exploring possible proofs. Once Rethlas generates a potential solution, a second system, Archon, takes over. Using LeanSearch, it converts the result into a format compatible with Lean 4, an interactive theorem prover and programming language supported by a …

Baramati bypoll exposes cracks in MVA, allies spar over candidate selection

After a brief calm, faultlines within the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) have resurfaced, this time over the Baramati assembly by-election, with alliance partners divided on strategy and candidate selection. Candidate speak: Sunetra Pawar After filing nomination, Pawar addressed party workers:>> Called Baramati “like a mother” to late Ajit Pawar>> Said development of Baramati was his only goal>> Described this as the first election after his passing and a chance to fulfil his vision>> “I am standing here because of Baramati. It is my only strength,” she said.>> She added that the election belongs to the people of Baramati, who will decide the outcome. Why the bypoll? The election was necessitated following the deaths of:>> Ajit Pawar, who represented Baramati>> Shivajirao Kardile, MLA from Rahuri>> Ajit Pawar died in a plane crash in Baramati on January 28. Big picture What was expected to be a straightforward by-election has turned into a test of opposition unity.

Weeks after a joint US–Israeli offensive against Iran triggered tensions across the Gulf, apparent differences have emerged between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel’s decision to strike a key Iranian gas field. US President Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu (AFP) Israel’s attack on the South Pars gas field triggered retaliatory Iranian strikes on energy infrastructure across the Middle East, pushing already high global energy prices even higher and prompting Gulf allies to urge Trump to rein in Netanyahu. Follow here for live updates on US-Iran war What are the signs of diverging goals in US-Iran war? The fallout has raised questions about how aligned the two leaders are in conducting a war that initially began as a closely coordinated effort. Any perceived gap between them could influence both the trajectory of the conflict and its eventual outcome.
