'Spiders have three life cycles': The real science behind Spider-Man's most unsettling trailer yet

Spiders progress through three stages—egg, spiderling, and adult—without metamorphosis, growing instead through moulting, a process that leaves them briefly vulnerable. Spiderlings disperse through remarkable methods like ballooning, while adulthood brings reproduction and, often, death for males. This biological cycle, grounded in real science, offers a fitting metaphor for transformation, briefly echoed in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

EVs Overtake Diesel? BMW i3’s 900km Range Stuns Industry

We have seen the new Mercedes-Benz CLA which has 792km range and now the new BMW i3 sedan has upto 900km range. It is a new electric luxury sedan and the electric 3 series of sorts. It follows the Neu Klasse design after the iX3. The talking point is the 108.7 kWh battery which has a range of 900km. Power is 469bhp and 645Nm while having an 800v charging architecture. Design and Interior Details The design is similar to the iX3 and has a new design philosophy as seen with the Neu Klasse design philosophy. The petrol current 3 Series would be sold alongside it also. The car has a sleek roofline and a simple but restrained appearance. The kidney grille for example is much more discreet. The interiors are also similar to the iX3 which means you have a long panoramic idrive which runs across the entire dashboard while also removing a digital instrument cluster in the process. The interiors also have a regular touchscreen below. India Launch Outlook To be made in Munich, the new i3 sedan looks handsome and futuristic but we do not know when it will come to India. BMW has been successfully selling EVs in India with the i7 and the iX1 but we have yet to see the new ix3 or the i3 on sale here. For now the hope of the i3 coming here quickly isn't possible with the likeky chance of launching the iX3 first.

RCB's Strengths & Weaknesses: What To Expect In IPL 2026

The 2026 season of the Indian Premier League is set to begin on March 28, with defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the opener at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. As the new season approaches, here’s a closer look at RCB’s strengths, weaknesses, and key challenges. RCB’s Strengths One of RCB’s biggest advantages this season is squad stability. The franchise has retained most of its title-winning core, ensuring continuity and strong team chemistry. Their batting lineup looks formidable, featuring experienced names like Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Rajat Patidar, and Tim David, giving them firepower across both top and middle order. The addition of Venkatesh Iyer further strengthens the Indian batting unit while also offering a handy bowling option. In the bowling department, the pace duo of Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar adds quality and experience. Meanwhile, all-rounders such as Krunal Pandya and Romario Shepherd provide flexibility in team combinations depending on conditions. RCB’s Weaknesses Despite a strong squad on paper, injury concerns in the pace attack remain a key issue. Hazlewood’s fitness has been inconsistent, while Yash Dayal hasn’t had much recent match practice. Backup options lack IPL experience, which could hurt the team if frontline pacers are unavailable. The spin department also raises questions. While Suyash Sharma impressed last season, consistency could be a concern. Beyond him, RCB doesn’t have many proven frontline spinners, which might become a problem on slower tracks. Key Challenges Ahead A major test for RCB will be handling the pressure of defending their title. Historically, teams often struggle to repeat success as opponents adapt and plan better against them. Also, if RCB are forced to play away from their home ground, they could lose the advantage of familiar conditions at Chinnaswamy. For RCB to stay competitive, consistent performances from senior players - especially Kohli and their lead bowlers - will be crucial throughout the tournament.

‘Ola Driver Boasted Of Beating Muslim Passengers’: Mahua Moitra Seeks Response Over SC Advocate’s Complaint

Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra took to social media to demand a response from Ola following a complaint sent by a Supreme Court advocate to Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal. The advocate alleged that an Ola driver “glorified violent criminal acts against Muslims and deliberately intimidated passengers on communal grounds” during a ride on March 15 from his residence in Greater Kailash to Max Mueller Bhavan in Delhi. The AITC politician added that if the company is not part of the solution, it risks being seen as part of the problem. ‘Ola Driver Boasted Of Beating Muslim Passengers’ In his complaint dated March 16, Supreme Court advocate Dr Saif Mahmood claimed that the Ola driver narrated incidents in which he had “brutally beaten up Muslim passengers” on two occasions, seemingly to intimidate Dr Mahmood due to his Muslim identity. OPINION | Mahua Moitra’s Remarks Reveal Dangerous Politics Of Exclusion In West Bengal “I am compelled to write to you directly with a sense of deep shock and alarm about what I experienced today during an Ola ride; an experience involving the open glorification of violent criminal acts against Muslims and deliberate communal intimidation of passengers. I am an Advocate of the Supreme Court of India, and Joint Managing Partner of the international law firm CMI & Co,” Dr Mahmood wrote in his email to Bhavish Aggarwal. He also provided detailed ride information, including the CRN for the ride and a screenshot from the Ola app. “On 15 March 2026, I booked an Ola ride from my residence in Greater Kailash-1, New Delhi, to Max Mueller Bhavan at 5.22 pm... At the time of the ride, the driver’s name appeared as Shri Ram on the app. However, when I checked my ride history shortly thereafter, the driver’s name had been removed, though the ride remains visible,” he added. Ola Driver Allegedly Tried To Intimidate SC Advocate According to Dr Mahmood, shortly after the ride began, the driver started chatting and mentioned he was from Kanpur. “The driver began chatting with me and told me he was from Kanpur. He then began proudly narrating an incident in which he claimed to have brutally beaten up a Muslim passenger because the passenger was eating non-vegetarian food in his vehicle.” The advocate said the driver described stopping at a Vaishnav dhaba while travelling from Delhi to Moradabad, where he “brutally assaulted the passenger” with others joining in to “beat the man and break his legs”. ALSO READ| TMC Booth Prez Killed In North 24 Parganas, Family Alleges Internal Party Feud Ahead Of Bengal Polls “He alleged that the passenger (whom he referred to only as ‘some Ansari’ had threatened that, upon reaching Moradabad, he would gather ‘his own people’ who would ‘cut the driver to pieces’. The driver then said he decided not to leave him in a condition to reach Moradabad at all. He recounted the entire episode with striking pride, openly glorifying the violence at every step,” the SC advocate further claimed.  The driver allegedly also boasted about assaulting another Muslim man in Noida. “At multiple points, the driver made remarks that revealed this was a deliberate, targeted display of Islamophobia. He repeatedly emphasised the Muslim identity of those he claimed to have assaulted and even stated that the Uttar Pradesh Government was ‘doing well to teach such people a lesson’,” Dr Mahmood said. Hello @Olacabs - we need you to publicly clarify your stand & actions ref @dr_Saifmahmood serious complaint.If you’re not part of the solution you will be part of the problem. pic.twitter.com/NnVqXBTYb1 — Mahua Moitra (@MahuaMoitra) March 18, 2026 ‘Will Take Action If…’ Dr Mahmood said the driver appeared to target him because of his Muslim identity, which was evident from the booking details. “While alighting, I told him that I am a Supreme Court lawyer and would escalate this matter; he seemed taken aback but remained silent,” he added. He emphasised that the driver’s comments go beyond “inappropriate behaviour,” constituting “admission of criminal acts, hate speech and Islamophobia, criminal intimidation, and a safety risk for passengers.” He also questioned Ola’s stance on such incidents. “Does Ola condone, tolerate, or turn a blind eye to the propagation of communal hatred, Islamophobia, and the glorification of violence by drivers operating on its platform? If Ola asserts that it does not, it must clearly explain its official policies on equality, non-discrimination, and respect for all passengers, irrespective of religion, as well as the measures in place to prevent drivers from intimidating or targeting passengers on communal grounds,” the advocate wrote. Dr Mahmood added that if he does not receive a response within three days, he will pursue all remedies available under law and escalate the matter through the Supreme Court Bar Association and Delhi High Court Bar Association. He concluded his complaint expressing hope that “Ola will take this matter with the seriousness it deserves”. ABP Live has reached out to Ola via email and will update the story once we receive a response.

10 interesting facts about our solar system that will surprise you

The Solar System is a weird place filled with incredible physics and geological oddities that often break down in human terms. The way we learn the order of the planets is the classroom version of what is actually happening. For instance, Venus is hotter than Mercury and has a surface that looks like it was formed in a volcanic hell, while ice giants are believed to have ‘diamond rain’ falling through their atmosphere. NASA’s Solar System exploration archives state that 99.8 per cent of the Solar System's mass is contained in the Sun. These 10 things you didn't know about the solar system highlight a universe that is far more dynamic than any textbook could ever tell.

ABP Live Doc Talk: Know How Stress, Sleep And Lifestyle Shape Fertility And Reproductive Health In Couples

In today’s demanding and fast-moving world, fertility is influenced by far more than biology alone. Stress levels, sleep quality and everyday lifestyle habits play a profound role in shaping reproductive health for both men and women. While medical science offers advanced fertility treatments, the foundation of reproductive wellbeing often lies in the balance of hormones a balance deeply affected by how we live each day. For couples planning a family, understanding this connection is essential. The human reproductive system functions through a finely tuned hormonal orchestra. In women, hormones regulate ovulation, menstrual cycles and implantation. In men, they influence sperm production, quality and libido. However, these hormones are highly sensitive to external stressors. Chronic stress, irregular sleep patterns, sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy coping habits can disrupt this delicate equilibrium, making conception more challenging. Recognising and correcting these factors can significantly improve fertility outcomes. ALSO READ: ABP Live Doc Talk | Pregnancy After 35: Understanding Maternal Age And The Risk Of Chromosomal Conditions Stress And Its Silent Impact On Fertility Stress is not merely emotional; it triggers physiological changes in the body. When stress becomes chronic, cortisol levels rise and begin to interfere with reproductive hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. In women, this may lead to irregular cycles, delayed ovulation or even anovulation. In men, elevated stress can reduce sperm count, motility and overall reproductive potential. Additionally, stress often affects intimacy and emotional connection between partners, indirectly influencing conception efforts. Fertility treatments themselves can further amplify anxiety, creating a cycle that requires mindful intervention. Stress management techniques such as meditation, counselling, breathing exercises and moderate physical activity can help restore hormonal harmony. The Power Of Rest: Why Sleep Matters Sleep is a natural regulator of hormonal function. During deep sleep, the body repairs tissues, regulates metabolism and stabilises hormone production. Poor or insufficient sleep disrupts melatonin and reproductive hormones, potentially affecting egg quality and sperm health. Shift work, excessive screen exposure at night and irregular sleeping schedules can alter circadian rhythms, which are closely linked to fertility. Couples trying to conceive should prioritise 7–8 hours of consistent, quality sleep. Creating a calm bedtime routine, limiting digital devices and maintaining a regular sleep cycle can significantly enhance reproductive wellbeing. Lifestyle Choices That Influence Hormonal Balance Everyday habits silently shape reproductive health. A sedentary routine may contribute to obesity and insulin resistance, both of which negatively affect ovulation and sperm production. On the other hand, excessive or extreme exercise can suppress reproductive hormones, especially in women. Balance is key. Maintain a healthy body weight through moderate, regular exercise. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption, as both impair egg and sperm quality. Manage caffeine intake within recommended limits. Practice mindful relaxation to reduce cortisol levels. Foster emotional communication between partners to strengthen mental wellbeing. Environmental factors also play a role. Exposure to toxins, endocrine-disrupting chemicals and pollution can influence hormonal health. Making conscious lifestyle adjustments helps create a supportive internal environment for conception. The Mind–Body Connection In Fertility Care Reproductive health is deeply interconnected with mental and emotional wellbeing. Anxiety, performance pressure and societal expectations can place additional strain on couples. A supportive environment, open communication and professional guidance can ease this burden. When couples approach fertility as a shared journey rather than an individual challenge, outcomes often improve both medically and emotionally. Medical evaluation remains crucial, particularly when conception is delayed. However, integrating stress management, restorative sleep and healthy lifestyle habits alongside clinical treatment creates a comprehensive approach to fertility care. Building A Healthier Foundation For Parenthood Balancing hormones is not achieved through medication alone; it requires consistent lifestyle awareness. Small but meaningful changes in daily routine can restore equilibrium within the body and strengthen reproductive potential. Fertility is not solely about conception it is about preparing the body and mind for a healthy pregnancy and parenthood. By addressing stress, prioritising sleep and adopting mindful lifestyle practices, couples can positively influence their hormonal health and fertility journey. With the right medical guidance and holistic care, the body regains its natural rhythm, enhancing the possibility of creating new life.
