A team of students from Glenrich International School, Uttara, has secured the top prize in the prestigious NSS Gerard K. O'Neill Space Settlement Design Contest. Their project, titled Chirayatasroy (Eternal Shelter), earned first place in the Large Group (Grade 9) category, beating thousands of entries from around the globe.

Organized by the US-based National Space Society (NSS), the contest encourages students to imagine sustainable life beyond Earth. This year, over 26,000 students from 25 countries submitted more than 4,900 projects, making Glenrich’s win a standout achievement. Chirayatasroy envisions a self-sustaining space habitat orbiting the dwarf planet Ceres, capable of supporting 100,000 people. The model integrates solar systems inspired by the Möbius strip to enable renewable living in outer space.

The winning team includes Adwoito Bhaskar, Ahmad Abdullah, Aisha Afsara Yasmin, Seam Ahmed, Ibrahim Amin, Muhayr Manzoor, Ahnaf Tahmeed A***n, Safwan Chowdhury, and Kazi Afsan Rawnak Anan. Their project aims to offer an alternative to Earth in response to threats like climate change and resource depletion.

In addition, two other Glenrich teams earned accolades: ‘Exserta’ won second place in the Small Group (Grade 9) category, and ‘Atlas’ received an Honourable Mention in the Large Group (Grade 11) category.

Bangladesh has made its official entry into the global solar energy market, as Radiant Alliance, a concern of East Coast Group, exported its first consignment of solar PV modules to the United States on 19 June 2025. The shipment was delivered to CleanGrid Incorporation, a US-based company, under a four-year export agreement valued at over Tk215 crore.

As part of the deal, Radiant will export a total of 64.60 megawatts (MW) of solar modules by 2028, with 12.40MW scheduled for this year. The modules were manufactured at Radiant’s Ashulia plant, which currently has an annual production capacity of 600MW.

Radiant CEO Masudur Rahim remarked, “This is not just a company milestone – it’s a national milestone,” highlighting the broader significance of this achievement for Bangladesh’s renewable energy ambitions.

Leaders in the solar manufacturing sector described the development as a historic step for the country. “This was a dream, we were waiting for this day,” said Golam Baki Masud, general secretary of the Solar Module Manufacturers Association of Bangladesh (SMMAB).

SMMAB president Munawar Misbah Moin emphasized the need for long-term support to help the local solar industry flourish. “We’re not asking for special treatment. We’re asking for fair policy support that allows a new industry to take root,” he stated.

This export signals Bangladesh’s growing capabilities in clean energy manufacturing and its potential role in the global renewable energy supply chain.

Ridwan Noor Nafis, a recent graduate and lecturer from the Department of Architecture at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), has been selected as a finalist in the prestigious InspireliAwards.com - architecture & design 2025, one of the world’s largest student architecture competitions. His thesis project, titled Urban Tune-Up: Architectural Packages for Block-Based Rooftop Spaces as Containers of Public Life, has earned him a spot among the top contenders, standing out from 1,511 submissions from 77 countries.

Ridwan’s innovative project proposes transforming Dhaka’s underutilized rooftops into a vibrant network of elevated public spaces. By introducing modular architectural units, the design seeks to foster community interaction, introduce greenery, and create accessible social spaces within the city's dense urban environment. The concept is designed to address key urban challenges, such as heat islands, waterlogging, and the scarcity of green spaces in the Karwan Bazar–Farmgate area. Additionally, it aligns with future transit-oriented development plans for Dhaka.

Supervised by Dr. Khandaker Shabbir Ahmed and Maherul Kader Prince, Ridwan’s project is one of only two from Bangladesh to reach the finalist stage. The final results of the competition will be announced in October 2025, marking a significant milestone for both Ridwan and BUET’s Department of Architecture.

Prof. Ehsan Hoque has been named one of five finalists for the prestigious 2025 Letten Prize, chosen from a pool of 158 global applicants. The recognition highlights his groundbreaking work in leveraging artificial intelligence to improve access to healthcare for underserved populations.

The Letten Prize Committee commended Dr. Hoque for “his research on integrating Artificial Intelligence in health diagnosis in ways that aim to better the lives of people who do not have access to medical practitioners, thus securing equity and equal access across the world.”

Currently a professor at the University of Rochester, Dr. Hoque’s research has led to the development of AI tools designed to support individuals with autism, neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s and ataxia, PTSD, and those in end-of-life care. His work stands out for its focus on creating low-cost, accessible technologies that do not rely on specialized hardware—making them usable across diverse global settings.

The Letten Prize, awarded biennially by the Letten Foundation and the Young Academy of Norway, honors early-career researchers whose work contributes to the health, development, and sustainability of societies worldwide.

Dr. Hoque’s recognition not only underscores the critical intersection of technology and health equity, but also amplifies the potential of AI in addressing pressing global health challenges.

Bangladesh's Abdur Rahman Alif etched his name in history by winning gold in the men’s recurve individual event at the second leg of the Asia Cup Archery in Singapore on Friday. The 19-year-old archer defeated Japan’s Gakuto Miyata 6-4 in a nail-biting final held at Bukit Gombak Stadium.

Alif, ranked 179th in the world, became only the second Bangladeshi archer to win a gold medal at a continental-level event. The first was Roman Sana, who claimed gold in the third leg of the Asia Cup in 2019.

The final was a tense battle from the start. Alif edged out Miyata by a single point in each of the first two sets, taking an early 4-0 lead. But Miyata fought back strongly, claiming the third and fourth sets to tie the score at 4-4.

With the pressure mounting in the decisive fifth set, Alif showed remarkable composure. He delivered a near-flawless performance, scoring 29 points to Miyata’s 26, sealing a historic win for Bangladesh.

This remarkable victory not only highlights Alif’s talent and determination but also marks a significant milestone for Bangladeshi archery on the Asian stage.
