Samudrayaan: Isro working on development of personnel sphere for deep-sea mission
In a major milestone for India's Deep Ocean Mission, the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has completed the first welding of the two rings of the personnel sphere for the submersible vessel MATSYA-6000, designed to carry humans up to 6,000 meters below the ocean human-occupied vehicle (HOV) is part of the 'Samudrayaan' project overseen by the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) and aims to strengthen India's capabilities in deep-sea National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), under MoES, collaborated with Isro's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) to design and fabricate the spherical crew compartment. Matsya-6000 is the submersible that is being developed as a manned vehicle to send three humans to a depth of over 5,000 meters below sea level. (Photo: NIOT) The personnel sphere measures 2.26 metre in diameter and features an 80 millimeter-thick wall made from a titanium alloy, known for its superior strength and corrosion resistance. Engineered to withstand extreme pressures up to 600 bar at temperatures as low as -3C, this pressure hull can safely accommodate a three-member crew at great ocean of the biggest technical challenges was developing a reliable Electron Beam Welding (EBW) process capable of fusing thick (80-102 mm) titanium Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) Bengaluru took charge of augmenting its welding facility from a 15kW to a 40kW EBW capacity. Over 700 weld trials were conducted to optimise the process parameters, ensuring high quality and structural quality assurance, Isro enhanced its X-ray radiography capability, one of the highest energy levels used in India, allowing detailed non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of the welded joints. Techniques such as Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) and Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) were employed to detect microscopic defects, guaranteeing safety and reliability. Approval from third-party certification agencies for the welding procedures and product safety is successful welding and rigorous testing of a full-scale 7100 mm-long personnel sphere, welded over 32 minutes, marks a national first. This achievement positions India among a select few nations with the technological prowess to build deep-sea human this critical component getting ready, the Samudrayaan mission moves closer to launching manned explorations of the deep Indian Ocean, promising advancements in marine research, resource utilisation, and underwater technology development.- EndsMust Watch

Paint it purple: Ousted e-scooter company returns to Brisbane in merger
Banned micromobility company Beam Mobility is returning to Brisbane streets from Monday night, but not as you may expect, as the global e-scooter and e-bike hire company merges with one of its key competitors. Neuron Mobility announced on Monday it had merged its Australian operations with Beam, and expected to return 700 purple – albeit rebranded and refurbished – e-scooters to Brisbane streets. 'After years of competing head to head, we're delighted to bring together the strengths of both companies under the Neuron banner,' Neuron Australia and New Zealand general manager Jayden Bryant said. The former Beam vehicles are refitted with Neuron proprietary technology and safety features, sport orange branding and accents, and are bookable through the Neuron app. Beam had previously been selling its old fleet to private e-mobility riders, after it was ousted last year after the company allegedly defrauded the Brisbane City Council with hundreds of 'ghost' machines. Loading The council revealed at the time a months-long investigation had shown the micromobility company exceeding its vehicle cap of 1800 vehicles by about 500 per day. It claimed the company misreported its number of active e-scooters and e-bikes more than 250,000 times in the year leading up to July 22, 2024, amounting to a shortfall in fees to the council of more than $330,000. Beam scooters were then replaced by Neuron. Brisbane has fluctuated between the two Singaporean micromobility companies and San Francisco-based Lime since 2019, when it first brought e-scooters onto Brisbane streets.

Cathie Wood shells out $13.9 million for one high-stakes biotech stock
Cathie Wood shells out $13.9 million for one high-stakes biotech stock originally appeared on TheStreet. Amid all the noise over tariffs and rate-cut chatter, the smartest move is often to follow investors who've done it before. 💵💰💰💵 Love her or hate her, Cathie Wood is a true maverick who's made a name finding tomorrow's big disruptors long before anyone else. Now, with a fresh swing at a major biotech stock, it says a lot about where she thinks the next big win will come from. Cathie Wood's love affair with biotech stocks has been part of ARK's DNA since day one. Long before CRISPR became a Wall Street buzzword, Wood's team has been busy, scooping up shares in early-stage gene-editing names. Her Genomic Revolution ETF, ARKG, was one of ARK's first thematic funds, which made a splash by loading up on companies like Editas Medicine and Intellia Therapeutics. The idea was clear: Programmable gene-editing tools could effectively flip medicine from symptom treatment to real cures. That early leap paid off 2019 and 2020, ARKG posted massive gains, led by positive trial results and big-name pharma partnerships, while broader markets were stuck in neutral. Wood has been consistent in backing her biotech picks, regardless of bad trial news or cash crunches. For her, the appeal of gene editing has more to do with rewriting what health care looks like. She sees CRISPR and next-gen editing tools as critical tools in curing diseases outright, cutting treatment costs, while giving patients their lives back. Such a strategy comes with its fair share of risk, but Wood spreads that risk across multiple platforms. For those who back game-changing science, her biotech playbook is clear and effective at spotting revolutionary picks that typically stun Mr. Market. Cathie Wood kicked off what's been a choppy week with a classic ARK move, in loading big on a key biotech stock while locking in gains elsewhere. On Monday, ARK Invest scooped up 659,000 shares of Beam Therapeutics () , splitting the buy between Wood's flagship ARK Innovation ETF and the ARK Genomic Revolution ETF. More Tech Stock News: Google's quiet AI win spells trouble for Amazon Nvidia-backed stock sends a quiet shockwave through the AI world Veteran Tesla analyst drops 4-word call That comes to more than $13 million in fresh Beam stock, following a relatively smaller buy earlier this week worth roughly $571,000. Beam Therapeutics stands out in the ARK portfolio for good reason. Its robust base-editing technology promises remarkably more precise and safer gene edits than standard of slicing through both strands of DNA, Beam's method efficiently swaps out tiny pieces one at a time, making it a lot safer and more precise. That competitive edge has major stakes. Beam's pipeline includes programs for monogenic disorders including sickle cell and beta-thalassemia, along with multiple readouts lined up for this year. Beam's cash position is another plus for Wood, with the business funded into 2027, easing dilution fears that typically rattle biotech names. Also, a major Pfizer partnership in cardiovascular disease adds new layers to Beam's commercial push, while landing it even more credibility on the stock market. Hence, for Wood, Beam essentially ticks every box. Its powerful disruptive science, tangible milestones, and huge upside potential suggest a long-term winner. It's exactly the kind of swing-for-the-fences bet ARK is famous for and has made many millionaires in the process. On the flip side, Wood's team lightened up on Roblox () , selling 31,416 shares worth roughly $3.25 million of the popular gaming stock as it rebounded. That follows ARK's moves last week, where it sold 26,877 shares of the gaming giant. As always, biotech isn't for the faint-hearted, but for Cathie Wood, Beam is the moonshot that's in position to rewrite Wood shells out $13.9 million for one high-stakes biotech stock first appeared on TheStreet on Jul 8, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jul 8, 2025, where it first appeared.
