Mysterious event in the early universe discovered
An international team of astronomers has reached a historic milestone in the study of the early universe. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), they have detected the most distant supernova ever discovered. About 110 days later, scientists turned to the James Webb Space Telescope at the same location. Co-author Dr Antonio Martin Carrillo of the study called the discovery “decisive evidence” that directly links the deaths of giant stars to gamma-ray bursts. The most surprising thing was that this explosion, which occurred so anciently, has almost the same characteristics as supernovae seen in the modern universe today.

Transformative step toward better public health
From predicting disease outbreaks to improving patient care, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping healthcare worldwide. Recognizing this potential, the government has begun laying the groundwork for digital health reforms, including AI-based systems in diagnostics, hospital management, and public health surveillance. By using artificial intelligence to analyze large volumes of health data, authorities can better track disease trends, manage epidemics, and allocate resources more effectively. Government-backed digital health initiatives can ensure that limited public funds are utilized more effectively, directly benefiting patients and strengthening public trust in state institutions. Rather than replacing doctors, AI is being positioned as a supportive tool that enhances human expertise.
