Researchers develop new app to boost wellbeing, resilience

New Delhi: A team of Australian researchers has launched a new app aimed at boosting the wellbeing and resilience of adults. This innovative mobile application, called ReNeuWell, shifts the focus from managing distress to actively promoting mental flourishing, offering a neuroscience-backed, personalised approach to mental health, said the team from NeuRA and University of New South Wales Sydney. This validated tool assesses both subjective hedonic–composure, positivity, life satisfaction) and psychological (eudaimonic – self-worth, mastery, achievements) wellbeing, providing users with a comprehensive profile. 'The app is designed for anyone looking for ways to understand and boost their own level of mental wellbeing,' stated Associate Professor Justine Gatt, emphasising its role in guiding individuals towards optimal mental health. According to researchers, ReNeuWell offers a unique personalised programme of activities over four-week periods, drawing on psychological concepts such as mindfulness, meditation, self-compassion, and goal setting. These activities are tailored to improve specific aspects of a user's wellbeing, grounded in the COMPAS-W scale's proven link to brain function, genetics, cognitive performance, and even physical health indicators.A 12-week clinical trial is currently underway, with NeuRA actively recruiting at least 500 adult participants from the general public. Eligible individuals will receive free access to the app, committing to just 10 minutes of daily use and three short surveys. This trial aims to further validate the app's effectiveness and gather user feedback for refinement. Funded by the Mindgardens Neuroscience Network and developed by Miroma Project Factory, ReNeuWell exemplifies a successful collaboration between research and industry to address real-world mental health needs. The ReNeuWell app is now available for download on the Apple App Store in Australia for a one-time fee of AUD$24.99 for those who do not wish to participate in the trial.

In a first, women outnumber men in IIM-Visakhapatnam new MBA batch

1 2 Visakhapatnam: For the first time since its inception in 2015, the flagship PGP (MBA) programme at IIM Visakhapatnam has seen female students outnumber their male counterparts in the current academic year. In the new batch, which was inducted this week, women make up 51% of the cohort, while men make 49%. The third-generation IIM has given admission to 338 students for the 2025-27 batch, with engineering students dominating the cohort with nearly 60% representation. Female representation in the new batch is nearly 11 percentage points higher than the 2024-26 batch, which has 40% women. Across the IIM system, female representation now typically hovers around 35-40%, marking a significant improvement from two decades ago. In the early 2000s, women constituted just 10 to 15% of PGP cohorts. This positive change has been driven by initiatives like supernumerary seats for women, gender-diversity weightage, and targeted outreach efforts. Recent admission figures further highlight the gradual push for gender diversity across campuses. For example, IIM Kozhikode, alongside IIM Vizag, leads the way for the 2025–27 batch, enrolling 586 students with women making up 51% across all three full-time postgraduate programmes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Lock In Your Battery Before The July 1st Rush Australian Solar Batteries Get Quote Undo Meanwhile, both IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Lucknow report about 30% female representation in their 2025–27 PGP cohorts. IIM Sambalpur surprised many in 2024 by admitting 76% women to its PGP batch. At IIM Bangalore, women represented 40% of the 2024-26 batch, while IIM Calcutta reported about 36% female students last year. These figures are also reflected in the CAT 2024 registrations (the basis for admissions this year) where of the 3.29 lakh candidates, 1.19 lakh (36.2%) are women. The traditionally lower representation of women in IIMs is often attributed to several factors, including the low participation of women in the CAT exam, the dominance of engineering graduates (said to be a male-dominated field) among test-takers, and societal expectations that may influence career choices. However, with institutes like IIM Vizag now even topping 50%, this expansion reflects several factors, including shifting family attitudes, stronger role models, and corporate demand for diverse leadership. According to experts, IIM classrooms will no longer be male preserves but proving grounds for a new generation of women managers. IIM Vizag director, Prof M Chandrasekhar, said the institute is a strong advocate for gender diversity, a commitment reflected in the new batch, where over 50% of admitted students are female. "At least one female faculty member was present on every interview panel for PGP aspirants this year. The gender balance is also evident in the institute's faculty demographics, with a female faculty strength of 41% — a figure approaching 50%. This balanced learning environment is believed to be a key factor in attracting more female students, ultimately enriching classroom discussions and enhancing the overall diversity and depth of the academic experience," he added. Meanwhile, IIM Visakhapatnam gave admissions to 11 students into PhD programme as part of its 2025 batch. Former director of IIM Bangalore, Prof G Raghuram, attended as the chief guest for the inauguration of new batches of PGP and PhD.

Meet the brains behind Aagneya, IIT Madras' solar car for global race in Australia

A group of 34 students from IIT Madras have designed and built a solar-powered race car named Aagneya, which will represent India in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge 2025 in Australia. The global engineering competition, to be held from August 24 to 31, spans a gruelling 3,000 kilometres across the Australian outback, from Darwin to car was developed by Team Agnirath, a student team from the Centre for Innovation (CFI) at Indian Institute of Technology, began in 2021 with just six passionate students has now evolved into one of India's most accomplished student-led engineering projects, currently boasting 38 members from different academic SOLAR CAR FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS Aagneya is no ordinary vehicle, it is a carefully engineered, high-performance solar race team designed it to withstand the extreme conditions of the Australian desert, where daytime temperatures can rise above 50 degrees Celsius and plunge below 5 degrees Celsius at night, and crosswinds exceeding 60 km/h pose constant aerodynamic ensure the car could handle such extremes, the team equipped it with a carbon fibre body -- one of the largest ever developed by a student group in not only strengthened the vehicle but also drastically reduced its weight, increasing its speed and efficiency. Solar racing car Aagneya built for global competition in Australia advertisementADVANCED SOLAR PANEL AND AI CONTROL SYSTEMA major highlight of Aagneya is its AI-based control system. The team said, 'Aagneya's race performance is notably enhanced by its integrated statistical control system and a predictive module. This combination enables the vehicle to adapt to changing race conditions, optimise resource use, and achieve better outcomes.'The solar panels also saw a significant efficiency upgrade -- from 19% to 24%.The students explained that, 'The key advancement isn't in increasing individual cell efficiency, but rather in improving the manufacturing processes and the internal routing of the solar panel itself. This now allows us to achieve a panel efficiency that closely matches the 23-24% efficiency of the individual solar cells.'TACKLING ENGINEERING CHALLENGESLike any ambitious project, Team Agnirath faced several technical hurdles. 'While designing, the biggest problem we faced was making the designs such that it's easily manufacturable,' a team member shared.'To overcome it, we talked to the vendors and made the design changes which were needed," the person the manufacturing front, they encountered issues with misalignments and defects during assembly. These were resolved through 'iterative sanding and finishing wherever needed,' demonstrating their hands-on problem-solving AND GROWTHThe team's ability to grow from six to 38 members in just a few years is a testament to their shared commitment. They credit this to 'consistent effort and a proactive approach to exploring new technologies.' Despite coming from various academic backgrounds, collaboration has been smooth.'Effective collaboration across diverse departments is ensured by allowing members to choose modules based on their personal interests and passion, rather than their academic branch,' the team BY INNOVATION CULTUREThe project received support from several sponsors, including Game Change Solar, Billion Mobility, Charge Zone, and IIT Madras and its Centre for Innovation (CFI) played a vital role in turning Aagneya into reality. 'IIT Madras and its Centre for Innovation have been instrumental, effectively being the bedrock for Team Agnirath's continued existence and success.'Professor V Kamakoti, Director of IIT Madras, praised the students and linked their work to the broader innovation ecosystem at the institute. He highlighted that IIT Madras had incubated over 100 start-ups and filed more than 470 patents in the previous financial THE RACELooking ahead, the team sees wider applications for the technologies behind Aagneya.'We foresee a strong future where Aagneya's core technologies could transition into commercial electric vehicles and clean energy applications,' they stated. They believe solar integration in EVs could 'significantly reduce charging times and enhance mileage.'advertisementAs team Agnirath prepares to represent India on a global stage, their message to young engineers is simple yet powerful: 'Be curious, explore your interests without reservation, and pursue what you love wholeheartedly.'- Ends
