Halloween candy is entering the 2026 shopping season with a familiar problem and a new one: prices remain elevated even as households grow more selective about what they buy. Major chains including Walmart, Target and Publix are being watched closely as consumers look for value in a category that is both seasonal and highly promotional.
The Army is moving to speed up counter-drone technology testing in Africa, with a goal of equipping soldiers within 180 days of validation, according to the latest planning cycle. Initial testing is slated for spring 2027 in Morocco, underscoring how urgently militaries are adapting to the rapid spread of inexpensive unmanned aerial threats.
Veritas is expanding its anti-counterfeit chip beyond its original use case, aiming to authenticate jewelry, trophies, and fragrance bottles as counterfeiters become more adept at copying brand marks and packaging. The move underscores a broader race in frontier AI and machine learning to build verification tools that can keep pace with increasingly convincing “superfakes.”
SC Delhi head coach Tchorz has set a clear benchmark for the club in the Indian Super League: a finish inside the top six. The target signals ambition, but it also reflects the competitive reality of a league where consistency, squad depth and game management often decide who survives the long campaign and who slips away from the playoff race.
Canada’s Fairfax Financial Holdings, Japan’s Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and UAE lender Emirates NBD have recently deepened their exposure to India’s financial sector, underscoring a sharp rise in foreign appetite for domestic banking and lending assets.

A new cyber-espionage campaign appears to have used targeted online advertising to deliver a zero-click exploit capable of installing mercenary spyware, according to security researchers tracking the incident. If confirmed, it would mark the first known case of commercial surveillance malware being deployed through ad targeting rather than phishing or direct messaging. The development raises fresh concerns for major ad platforms, cloud providers, and the broader digital advertising ecosystem.
IIT Bombay spinout MumbaiSemi says it has built a prototype radio-frequency chip capable of processing signals from multiple satellite navigation systems, including India’s NavIC as well as GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou. The development positions the startup as a potential domestic challenger in a market long dominated by overseas semiconductor suppliers, with implications for India’s push to deepen its chip design capabilities.
A new Nature study suggests that precisely stimulating selected motor cortex neuron ensembles can help drive learned movements, sharpening understanding of how the brain stores and executes motor skills. The finding could influence future neurotechnology, rehabilitation strategies, and brain-computer interface design by showing that movement control may be more modular and targetable than previously assumed.
