Tata Altroz Dark Edition, Nexon Dark Edition spied ahead of early July launch

Following encouraging response for the Dark Edition of the Tata Harrier, Tata is expanding its Dark Edition line-up by rolling out stealthier versions of the Altroz and the Nexon. Both the Tata Altroz Dark Edition and Nexon Dark Edition, as the suffix suggests, come with black exterior paint and black alloy wheels. Talking of the Tata Altroz first, it has a blacked-out finish for the grille and the lower bumper. Just like the Tata Harrier, it gets the 'Dark' badging on the front fenders and the Altroz insignia is also finished in black.

The alloy wheels are the same design as on the regular Altroz, but finished in black with the Dark Edition. On the inside, the Altroz Dark Edition gets a blacked-out dashboard with gloss-black trim on the dash. The door pads are also blacked-out and black leatherette seats are carried over from the top-end trims.

The changes are similar in the case of the Tata Nexon Dark Edition as well. Along with the all-black colour scheme, it gets grey beltline garnishing. The grille, fog lamp housing and lower bumpers are also finished in black, along with blacked-out alloy wheels. On the inside, the Nexon also features an all-black dashboard along with darkened door pads and seats.

Both the Tata Nexon Dark and Tata Altroz Dark editions will be launched in top-spec trims and may command a premium of around Rs 20,000 over corresponding trim levels. Bookings are unofficially open, and the launch is expected on 7 July.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
