India is set to launch its first indigenous hydrogen fuel-cell train on the Jind-Sonipat route, joining an elite group of nations. This 10-coach train, powered by a 1200kW engine, emits only water vapor, offering a clean alternative to fossil fuels. A dedicated hydrogen storage and refueling facility is operational in Jind, with maintenance planned in Delhi. This move significantly bolsters India's green mobility and net-zero emission targets.

The official ball for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Trionda, took an extraordinary journey to the International Space Station. Astronauts studied its movement and balance in microgravity as part of a NASA experiment. This research aims to enhance football performance and understand how embedded technologies, like the ball's motion sensor, impact the game, offering a unique blend of sports and space science.
