Neuralink, co-founded by Elon Musk, achieved a groundbreaking milestone by successfully implanting its first brain chip into a human, advancing the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). This breakthrough holds immense potential for medical treatment and human enhancement. The primary focus of Neuralink's brain chip is to tackle neurological conditions like epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries. Through recording and stimulating brain activity, the Link, as it's called, may provide innovative treatment possibilities for individuals affected by these conditions. This achievement signifies a significant stride towards revolutionizing medical interventions and enhancing human capabilities.

Scientists have identified a new species of tiny lizards in the biodiverse forests of the Western Ghats, naming them "diminutive dragons" or Agasthyagama edge. Belonging to the Agamidae family, these lizards are characterized by their small size, with a maximum snout-vent length of 4.3 cm. This discovery marks the second species in the Agasthyagama genus, with the first being A. beddomii found in the Sivagiri hills of Tamil Nadu. The collaborative research team from various institutions in India and abroad made this finding in the southern Western Ghats at Kulamavu in Idukki.

ISRO has readied the advanced meteorological satellite INSAT-3DS for launch, transporting it to Sriharikota for a mid-February liftoff on GSLV F14. Weighing 2275 kg, the satellite aims to enhance ISRO's INSAT system capabilities for weather monitoring and disaster forewarning. INSAT-3DS features advanced instruments, including six optical and nineteen infrared channels, enabling detailed monitoring of the earth's parameters. The satellite, fully designed and fabricated in India, demonstrates the nation's growing self-reliance in space technology. With its sophisticated capabilities, INSAT-3DS is set to provide continuity to critical meteorological applications and improve disaster prediction for agencies.
