    Protest Against Gang Rape In Kolkata, India
    Police officers obstruct as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) activists block the main road and burn tires in Kolkata, India, on July 1, 2025, during a protest against the alleged gang rape of a law student at South Calcutta Law College. Three accused are known to be members of the student union of the college, which is part of the Trinamul Congress (TMC) student union, the current ruling party of West Bengal, according to reports.

    India: Transgender Sex Workers And Truckers with STD's
    January 21, 2025, New Delhi, India A truck driver parks his truck in Jahangirpuri, New Delhi in New Delhi, India. The truckers live inside a truck for days while they wait for their next assignment and regularly meet transgender sex workers. STDs are a major problem among the truckers, and they have an HIV prevalence rate of 1.48% seven times higher than India's national adult average of 0.20% (Credit Image: © Elke Scholiers/ZUMA Press Wire (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

    The tyres that could carry astronauts over the surface of Mars have been unveiled by US space agency NASA.
    While several robotic missions have landed on Mars, NASA has only explored 1% of its surface.
    Ahead of future human and robotic missions to the Red Planet, NASA recently completed rigorous rover testing on Martian-simulated terrain;
    It used a revolutionary alloy mesh tyre developed at the agency’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland in partnership with car tyre manufacturer Goodyear.
    The tyres were made from a nickel-titanium alloy which has the ability to rearrange its atomic structure when force is introduced.
    It’s a shape memory metal which means it that can return to its original shape after being bent, stretched, heated, and cooled.
    Rovers for exploring planetary surfaces must be equipped with adequate tyres for the environment.
    Mars has an uneven, rocky surface so the durable so-called shape memory alloy tyres will make that possible.
    They can absorb the impact from a wide range of sharp, craggy rocks without suffering damage.
    NASA engineers just tested the tyres at a UK facility owned by European aircraft maker Airbus that simulates the Martian terrain, called Mars Yard.

    Airless bike tyres using technology developed by US space agency NASA for its Mars and Moon rover missions, are coming to bicycles.The tyres use shape memory alloy technology.They will be used in a cutting edge, eco-friendly bicycle tire called METLTM. The tyres are made from advanced, lightweight alloy creating a tire that is elastic like rubber yet strong like titanium.They keep their shape without ever going flat. The tyres have the ability to undergo phase transitions at the molecular level under strain and can take thirty times the strain of ordinary steel. They are also eco-friendly, using long-lasting materials that reduce the use of rubber. The tyres are described as premier high-tech component for the modern cyclist with road, gravel, mountain and e-bike applications.The METLTM bike , which will use the technology, is to be built by US firm the Smart Tire Company.
