Nobel Prize in Medicine 2026 awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel

Stockholm (Sweden): The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics. The announcement was made by the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institutet on Monday.

Vaiko’s MDMK ends nine-year alliance with DMK

Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) on Saturday announced the end of the alliance with long-time ally DMK while accusing it of attempting to prop up an AIADMK government.

In a resolution passed at the meeting held, the MDMK alleged that after the Tamil Nadu Assembly election results were announced on May 4, 2026, it emerged that "behind-the-scenes political deals" had gone against the mandate given by the people. It was an open…
