ISRO’s semi-cryogenic engine test reached 88% of its designed thrust on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, marking a major step toward upgrading India’s LVM3 rocket. The Indian Space Research Organisation tested the Power Head Test Article, or PHTA, at its propulsion facility in Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu.

The human ability to maintain balance and spatial orientation is governed by a highly complex system within the inner ear known as the vestibular apparatus. The understanding of this system was fundamentally transformed by Hungarian physician Robert Barany, whose groundbreaking research earned him the 1914 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (awarded in 1915). His work laid the foundation for modern diagnosis and treatment of vertigo and balance disorders. Early Medical C
