Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB) has achieved a major milestone in the country’s scientific progress by launching the first Transient Array Radio Telescope (TART). Installed on the rooftop of IUB’s 10-storey academic building, the telescope detected radio signals from space for the first time on November 18, 2025, marking Bangladesh’s official entry into radio astronomy instrumentation.

This telescope is not only the first TART in Bangladesh but also the only one currently operating in the Northern Hemisphere. To signify the beginning of the nation’s radio astronomy journey, the instrument has been named START—a “small TART.”

Developed under IUB’s Center for Astronomy, Space Science and Astrophysics (CASSA), the entire array structure was designed and fabricated locally at Fab Lab IUB. The project was financially supported by IUB’s Department of Physical Sciences, while specialized antennas and electronics were sourced from New Zealand. The system was brought online under the supervision of Dr. Tim Molteno, Senior Lecturer at the University of Otago.

START’s commissioning marks the start of Bangladesh’s capability to build and operate radio astronomy instruments. Sky images captured by TART arrays in Bangladesh and seven Southern Hemisphere countries can be viewed live at the provided link, connecting Bangladesh to a global network of radio telescopes.

Brazil has approved the world’s first single-dose dengue vaccine, a breakthrough hailed as a “historic” milestone as global dengue cases surge amid rising temperatures. The country’s health regulator, ANVISA, authorised the Butantan-DV vaccine, developed by the Butantan Institute in São Paulo, for individuals aged 12 to 59.

Until now, the only dengue vaccine available worldwide has been TAK-003, which requires two doses administered three months apart, according to the World Health Organization. The new single-dose formulation, developed over eight years of research and clinical trials, promises faster and simpler vaccination campaigns.

Clinical trials involving more than 16,000 volunteers showed the vaccine to be 91.6% effective against severe dengue. “This is a historic achievement for science and health in Brazil,” said Esper Kallas, director of the Butantan Institute, adding that the vaccine provides a powerful new tool against a disease that has burdened Brazil for decades.

Dengue reached record global levels in 2024, with the WHO reporting over 14.6 million cases and nearly 12,000 deaths, half of them in Brazil. Researchers have linked the increase to climate change, which is expanding the range of Aedes mosquitoes into new regions. Brazil has also reached an agreement with China’s WuXi Biologics to supply 30 million doses in 2026.

From a single kantha stitched on her doorstep to an enterprise that now supports the livelihoods of around 400 women, the journey of Sylhet’s Runa Begum is an inspiring example of strength and determination. What began in 2008 as a small effort to escape poverty has grown into one of Sylhet’s most successful women-led craft businesses.

Runa, who lives in the Shahid Eidgah Hazaribagh area, could not continue her studies due to financial hardship and was married off young. Even after marriage, life remained difficult. One day, a customer bought a kantha she was sewing for 450 taka, and that moment changed everything. Borrowing 1,000 taka from her uncle, she started producing nakshi kantha and began supplying them to shops across the city.

Her early days were not easy. She carried kantha on her shoulder, walked long distances, and faced criticism for visiting markets alone. But in 2018 she bought a scooter and continued expanding her business with confidence.

Today, Runa’s kantha, bedsheets, and embroidered clothing are sold not only across Sylhet but also in the UK, USA, and UAE. She runs a showroom named “Nakshikantha Sylhet” and maintains a thriving online customer base. Through her designs, hundreds of women now earn from home and have regained financial independence.

For Runa, the greatest reward is simple. “I could create work for so many women. That is my biggest achievement,” she says.

Team Shindhu from Aviation & Aerospace University, Bangladesh (AAUB) has earned international recognition after securing second place worldwide in the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) International Light Aircraft Design Competition 2024–25.

Their submission, the amphibious aircraft Shankhachil, was designed to operate seamlessly on both land and water while accommodating 6–8 passengers. The team integrated a smart dual-role configuration: passenger transport as the primary mission and cargo operation as a secondary capability, offering flexibility for diverse environments and needs.

What makes this accomplishment remarkable is the team’s journey. Beginning as second-year students with no prior project experience or formal supervision, they navigated months of learning, simulation, redesign, and documentation. From CAD modelling and ANSYS analysis to hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, and systems integration, every phase was handled entirely by the students.

The team includes Prantho Ghosh, Md Jubaer, Tuhin Alahi, Monmoy Paul, Monzorul Shourov, Asadul Islam Hasif, Md Naeem, Sajidul Islam, Nusrat Jahan Nadia, and Mirza Faisal Imami Bishal.

This global achievement highlights the rising capabilities of Bangladeshi youth in aerospace innovation and stands as an inspiring milestone for AAUB and the nation’s engineering community.

Bangladesh celebrated a standout achievement on Thursday as mixed doubles pair Md Javed Ahmed and Khoy Khoy Marma clinched the silver medal in table tennis at the Islamic Solidarity Games 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Their impressive run marked one of Bangladesh’s finest performances in the sport on an international stage.

Javed and Khoy Khoy, who made headlines earlier by reaching the final for the first time in Bangladesh’s table tennis history at the Games, faced a tough challenge against Turkey’s seasoned duo Sibel Altinkaya and İbrahim Gündüz. The final proved one-sided, with the Turkish pair winning 3–0 (11–5, 11–8, 11–6) in just over 14 minutes.

Before the final, the Bangladeshi duo showcased grit and skill in their semifinal victory over Bahrain’s Rashed and Mohamed Kenda, securing a 3–1 win (13–11, 7–11, 12–10, 11–3) to guarantee at least a silver for their country.

This silver marks Bangladesh’s second medal at the ongoing Games, following weightlifter Marjia Akter Ekra’s bronze. The Bangladesh Table Tennis Federation had earlier announced a Tk 50,000 reward for each player for reaching the final, with the amount set to double for a gold.

Despite the final loss, the achievement stands as a significant milestone, highlighting Bangladesh’s growing competitiveness in international table tennis.
