IIT Bombay researchers have fabricated a carbon-based nanostructure that is capable of simultaneously adsorbing with very high efficiency four heavy metals — arsenic, chromium, cadmium and mercury — from wastewater.…
IIT Madras researchers have fabricated a new sodium sulphur battery that can be operated at room temperature and not at 300 degree C as is the case now. They achieved…
IISER Pune researchers have converted the highly unstable perovskite into a ultra-stable photocatalyst that can decompose toxic organic pollutants commonly present in water. The photocatalyst was synthesised by encapsulating nanocrystals…
IIT Madras researchers have demonstrated an eco-friendly way to degrade a few types of plastics. All that is required to degrade the plastics into molecules is continuous stirring of the…
Researchers from IIT Madras have for the first time fabricated a rechargeable iron ion battery using mild steel as the anode. The iron ion battery is cost-effective and has 54%…
IIT Madras researchers have fabricated a sensor that can measure minute variations in relative humidity levels in the exhaled breath. It can detect ethanol and acetone in the oral breath…
Researchers at IIT Guwahati have chemically modified the chitosan to make it selectively remove either oil or water phase from an oil-water mixture. In a first, they made it possible…
IIT Madras researchers have discovered that atoms of nanoparticles made of two silver isotopes having just 25 atoms each rapidly exchanged their positions when the isotopes are mixed in solution.…
