Research carried out by IIT Gandhinagar team has found increased groundwater recharge in south India between 1996 and 2016 due to increase in high-intensity rainfall during monsoon. But in the…
The neural mechanism that signals thirst and the thirst inhibitory neurons which signal to stop drinking have been deciphered. The research unravels how the thirst inhibitory neurons signal to stop…
The compound synthesised by IISER Kolkata researchers can reduce copper, mercury, cadmium and iron content in drinking water to below 2 ppb, which is far below the WHO limit for…
Electrodes made of copper plates wound with cellulose thread coated with carbon nanotubes for capacitive deionisation and placed close to each other achieved 84% efficiency in ion removal. With power requirement…
After two hours of contact time, the activated jamun powder was able to reduce the fluoride content of Nalgonda groundwater from 3.2 mg per litre to less than 1.5 mg…
The membrane with controlled release of copper ion may turn out to be a potential candidate for water purification applications with enhanced antibacterial and antifouling performances. There is an age-old…
Producing potable water through desalination may become more efficient and less energy intensive if researchers at the University of Manchester are able to successfully use graphene oxide (GO) membranes to…
An exhaustive research carried out by a team of researchers led by Prof. T. Pradeep from the Department of Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, spread over…
