mou
s engineering colleges group from AP-QIS educational institutions, Ongole, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Quantum Research and Centre of Excellence (QRACE), New Delhi, marking a monumental step towards advancing India's quantum innovation ecosystem.
This alliance paves the way for robust collaboration in quantum computing, post-quantum cryptography, quantum sensing, quantum communication, and AI integration, fostering innovation that addresses global challenges in healthcare, transportation, defense, and cybersecurity.
The partnership will witness joint R&D initiatives, establishment of Centres of Excellence (CoEs), co-development of advanced quantum devices, and paid internships for QIS students at QRACE.
The MoU also facilitates joint supervision of PhD scholars, access to advanced infrastructure, and joint funding proposals under national missions like the National Quantum Mission (NQM), DRDO, DST, and Defence.
QIS chairman Prof. Dr. N S Kalyan Chakravarthy said the collaboration with QRACE reflects QIS's unwavering commitment to cutting-edge research and global partnerships in emerging technologies.
'I congratulate our faculty and leadership team for steering QIS to the forefront of quantum innovation.

THIS tea can 'clean' the brain and prevent Alzheimer's
A new study reveals that a combination of nicotinamide and epigallocatechin gallate, found in green tea, can rejuvenate aging brain cells. The treatment restores energy levels and clears harmful protein buildup linked to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers observed improved brain cell function and reduced oxidative stress in treated neurons, offering a potential nonpharmaceutical approach to cognitive decline. Imagine decluttering your brain. Tidying it a bit to get rid of things that are damaging your brain. Is it even possible? Well, yes! You can tidy up your brain and even manage progressive neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Wondering how? With the help of a tea! Yes, that's right! A new study has found that a combination of natural compounds will help in brain cleaning. A recent study by researchers at the University of California found that a combination of natural compounds, of which one is found in a tea, restored energy levels in aging brain cells and also cleared harmful protein buildup linked with Alzheimer's disease. The findings are published in the journal GeroScience . Cleaning the brain The new study found that a combination of naturally occurring compounds, nicotinamide (a form of vitamin B3) and epigallocatechin gallate (a green tea antioxidant), can restore the levels of guanosine triphosphate, an essential energy molecule in brain cells. This treatment will remove harmful protein buildup linked with Alzheimer's disease. They added that this promising nonpharmaceutical treatment also rejuvenates aging brain cells. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Biggest Real Estate Discounts Ever at M3M India. Enquire Now! M3M India Book Now Undo They tested the treatment on neurons in a dish and found that it improved the brain cells' ability to clear damaging amyloid protein aggregates linked to Alzheimer's. 'As people age, their brains show a decline in neuronal energy levels, which limits the ability to remove unwanted proteins and damaged components. We found that restoring energy levels helps neurons regain this critical cleanup function,' lead author Gregory Brewer, adjunct professor of biomedical engineering at UC Irvine, said in a statement. Researchers tracked energy molecule levels in brain cells from aged Alzheimer's model mice using a genetically coded fluorescent sensor called GEVAL. They found the free GTP (guanosine triphosphate) levels reduced with age, especially in mitochondria, leading to impaired autophagy, the process by which cells eliminate damaged components. But when they treated the neurons for just 24 hours with nicotinamide and epigallocatechin gallate, the GTP levels came back to normal. This process improved energy metabolism; activation of key GTPases involved in cellular trafficking, Rab7 and Arl8b; and efficient clearance of amyloid beta aggregates. Oxidative stress, which is another major contributor to neurodegeneration, also went downhill. 'This study highlights GTP as a previously underappreciated energy source driving vital brain functions. By supplementing the brain's energy systems with compounds that are already available as dietary supplements, we may have a new path toward treating age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease,' Brewer said. 'More work is going to be required to find the best way to administer this treatment, since a recent clinical trial involving UC Irvine researchers showed that oral nicotinamide was not very effective because of inactivation in the bloodstream,' he cautioned.

Natural disasters caused $135 bn in economic losses in first half of 2025: Swiss Re
Natural disasters caused $135 billion in economic losses globally in the first half of 2025, fuelled by the Los Angeles wildfires, reinsurer Swiss Re said Wednesday. Swiss Re, which serves as an insurer of insurance companies, said first half losses were up from the $123 billion in the first half of 2024.

It said the "exceptional loss severity" of the fires was down to prolonged winds, a lack of rainfall and "some of the densest concentration of high-value single-family residential property in the US". Live Events Swiss Re said losses from wildfires had risen sharply over the past decade due to rising temperatures, more frequent droughts and changing rainfall patterns -- plus greater suburban sprawl and high-value asset concentration. "Most fire losses originate in the US and particularly in California, where expansion in hazardous regions has been high," it said. Before 2015, wildfire-related insured losses made up around one percent of all natural catastrophe claims, but now account for seven percent. - Hurricane season approaching - Insured losses from severe thunderstorms amounted to $31 billion in the first half of 2025. The second half of the year is usually more costly for insurers due to damage during the North Atlantic hurricane season. If current loss trends continue, global insured losses from natural catastrophes in 2025 could exceed the Swiss Re Institute's projections of $150 billion. "The strongest lever to increase the resilience and safety of communities is to double down on mitigation and adaptation. It's here that everyone can help reduce losses before they occur," said Swiss Re's group chief economist Jerome Haegeli. "While mitigation and adaptation measures come at a price, our research shows that, for example, flood protection measures such as dykes, dams and flood gates are up to 10 times more cost-effective than rebuilding." The March earthquake in Myanmar figured among the major natural disasters in the first six months of the year, with the tremors felt in neighbouring Thailand, India, and China. In Thailand alone, insured losses reached $1.5 billion. Overall, while natural disasters caused $135 billion in economic losses in the first half of 2025, man-made disasters -- which include industrial accidents -- caused another $8 billion in losses, of which $7 billion were insured losses.
