With temperatures soaring high in India, the demand for air conditioners (ACs) has never been higher. For smaller rooms, a window AC can be a compelling option due to the ease of installation, lower maintenance costs, and portability. To help you make an informed purchase, we have curated a list of the best window ACs under Rs 30,000 in India.

In a global first, researchers at Australia’s CSIRO used quantum machine learning to enhance semiconductor design, outperforming classical AI models. By modeling Ohmic resistance in GaN transistors, the team built a hybrid quantum–classical model using just 5 qubits. This Quantum Kernel-Aligned Regressor revealed subtle fabrication patterns that classical methods missed. Their model guided new device fabrication, resulting in higher-performing chips. This success proves quantum-enhanced design can generalize to real-world production, marking a major leap toward practical quantum advantage in materials science and electronics manufacturing.
