India is a nation of walkers - but its cities forgot them
Traffic jams dominate headlines and social media, pushing authorities to keep vehicles moving. In Delhi, many mid-block crossings have been replaced by U-turns to reduce stoppages, forcing pedestrians onto foot overbridges.
"People don't just need to walk along a road," says Goel. "They need to be able to cross it safely too."
The result is a stark urban inequality.
In Gurugram, a high-speed arterial road cuts through busy neighbourhoods with few safe crossings. Domestic workers, labourers

Artificial Intelligence used to design brand new viruses
Viruses are not alive and it would take another significant leap for AI to generate living organisms.
The genetic code of the phage is around 5,400 base pairs (letters) long. The smallest genome of a living cell is around 500,000 base pairs. The human genome is three billion base pairs.
Hie says "it would probably be a lot of work, but not impossible" to attempt some simple organisms and they were "definitely interested in working towards" that.
