Asia-Pacific Young Academies Network Launched in Hyderabad
A new group called NAYA was created to help young scientists in the Asia-Pacific region work together.
Over 200 scientists from different countries met in Hyderabad to start this.
They talked about science and how to make new things, like robots and computers, in a smart way.
This group will help scientists share ideas, learn from each other, and do research together.
The Indian National Young Academy of Science helped start NAYA, with help from other countries.
This will make it easier for scientists to work together and make new discoveries.
