For many Indian students, attending a prestigious American university is a dream, yet this aspiration faces unprecedented challenges under the Trump administration. Following former President Obama's emphasis on education and research as crucial for maintaining U.S. global leadership, the current administration has significantly cut federal funding for renowned institutions like Columbia and Johns Hopkins, citing alleged failures to protect against antisemitic harassment. Critics argue that these actions threaten academic freedom and innovation, while supporters see them as necessary reforms. The administration's crackdown extends to campus activism, with federal agents detaining students involved in pro-Palestinian protests, raising fears about free speech rights. As funding for research diminishes, concerns grow that the U.S. could lose its edge in scientific advancement to countries like China and India, which are investing heavily in education and technology. This shift could have long-lasting implications for the U.S. economy and its global standing in innovation.

Published: Mar 28 2025, 6 ameznews.inNEW DELHI: Following an incident where Chief Minister Rekha Gupta's convoy was obstructed by stray cattle in Keshavpuram, authorities are set to take action against illegal dairies in the area. Councillor Yogesh Verma, the Zone Chairman, announced that illegal dairy owners will face strict measures, including potential sealing of operations and disconnection of power lines. Delhi law prohibits keeping cows in individual dairies, yet illegal establishments have proliferated, contributing to the stray cattle problem. Gupta's convoy was halted for five minutes on the Haiderpur flyover due to the cattle, prompting her to instruct officials to secure shelter for the animals and prevent them from roaming on roads and flyovers. The government previously established a legal dairy in Bhalswa for cattle owners, but the rise of unauthorized dairies has led to increased incidents involving stray animals.
Published: Mar 28 2025, 4 ameznews.inA faint star in the Northern Hemisphere, T Coronae Borealis (T CrB), is expected to explode in a nova today, marking a rare event not seen since 1946. Scientists anticipate that the explosion will make T CrB the 48th brightest star in the night sky, visible to the naked eye for several nights following its peak brightness around March 27. If the explosion does not occur as predicted, it may happen later on November 10, 2025, or June 25, 2026. Located approximately 3,000 light-years away in the "Northern Crown" constellation, T CrB is a binary system comprising a red giant and a cooling white dwarf. The thermonuclear explosion results from material accumulation from the red giant onto the white dwarf. While astronomers have noted signs of variability in T CrB, the exact timing of the explosion remains uncertain, according to Franck Marchis of the SETI Institute.
