In education, lead generation involves reaching prospective students through digital campaigns, nurturing them with personalised communication, and guiding them from inquiry to enrollment. Using tools like CRM systems, institutions track interest levels, analyse demographics, and optimise outreach strategies. This approach improves admission rates while building trust.

A team of international scientists have developed an emulator called 'Effort.jl', which can map the universe in minutes on a standard laptop. The findings were published in Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics. The tool, a machine learning emulator, uses "neural networks and built-in mathematical knowledge to learn from existing models and deliver results", Moneycontrol reported.

Business consultants help organisations solve challenges by analysing processes, identifying inefficiencies, and recommending solutions. Their expertise spans strategy, finance, marketing, technology, and operations. By offering unbiased perspectives and structured frameworks, consultants support businesses in scaling, adapting to market changes, and improving profitability.

Startup accelerators provide mentorship, funding, and networks in exchange for equity. Founders should evaluate program focus, mentor quality, and alumni outcomes before joining. The experience accelerates product validation, investor access, and market entry, but requires balancing equity dilution against long-term benefits. Accelerators serve as launchpad to scale operations faster and smarter.

Billionaire Elon Musk has responded to a news article about Pope Leo citing his $1-trillion Tesla pay package offer while criticising CEOs' salaries. "Why do you see...speck in your neighbour's eye, but don't notice...log in your own eye?" Musk said, citing a Bible verse. "Yesterday [news said]...Musk is going to be the first trillionaire...What does that mean?" Pope had said.

A Morgan Stanley report predicts that adopting artificial intelligence could impact 90% jobs and unlock annual net benefit of around $920 billion. Agentic AI software could contribute around $490 billion to the benefit, while humanoid robots could account for remaining $430 billion. Productivity boom could translate into $13 trillion to $16 trillion increase in market cap for S&P 500 index.

As Online Gaming Act 2025 has come into effect, Gameskraft announced to lay off 120 employees. The act placed the online real-money gaming (RMG) in 'uncharted territory'. Gameskraft CEO Prithvi Singh said that the company made a difficult decision to cut these jobs as a part of careful restructuring.

Startup incubators sustain themselves through equity in startups, rent from shared spaces, service fees, and partnerships with governments or corporations. Some also run venture funds, earning returns from exits. These models balance operational costs with long-term gains while supporting early innovation. This mix covers operating costs and creates long-term returns.

The lean startup methodology emphasises building quickly, testing with real users, and iterating based on feedback. By creating minimum viable products, startups validate assumptions before scaling. This reduces wasted resources and helps pivot early if needed. The framework relies on continuous learning cycles build, measure, learn making it an effective approach for navigating uncertain markets.

Rishi Bal, EVP of BharatGen, emphasises AI as the backbone of India's ecosystem growth. The initiative aims to build a sovereign, accessible, and culturally inclusive AI infrastructure across 22 languages. Tools like Krishi Saathi assist farmers via voice-enabled WhatsApp, while government funding supports large-scale AI models and nurtures homegrown talent to drive India's AI future.

Non-Fungible Tokens represent unique digital assets stored on blockchain, giving creators and buyers verifiable proof of ownership. Unlike traditional files, NFTs cannot be duplicated or altered, making them valuable for art, collectibles, and gaming. By enabling transparent transactions and new revenue streams, NFTs are redefining how digital goods are owned, traded, and monetised globally.

Single-agent systems perform tasks independently, making them simpler and easier to manage, while multi-agent systems involve multiple AI agents collaborating or competing to solve complex problems. Multi-agent setups enable scalability, specialisation, and adaptability in dynamic environments, though they require advanced coordination.

Google's AI, Gemini 2.5 Deep Think, and OpenAI's GPT-5 secured gold medal-level performances at International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC), which is known as the "coding Olympics". Competing against 139 teams, Gemini finished in the top four by solving 10 out of 12 real-world coding problems. Meanwhile, GPT-5, which wasn't trained for ICPC, solved 11 of the 12 problems.

The daily cicada chorus is more than just noise; it's a real-world example of social physics. Researchers used models inspired by magnetism to explain how cicadas coordinate their singing. This blend of environmental triggers and social feedback creates a sharp, collective response, demonstrating how simple interactions can lead to complex, synchronized group behaviors in nature.

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have developed light-powered micromotors smaller than a human hair. Using optical metamaterials, laser light can spin, reverse, and control microscopic gears on a chip. These tiny motors could power machines the size of human cells, opening possibilities in medicine, lab-on-a-chip devices, and micro-scale particle manipulation.
